What Are All-on-4 Dental Implants?
All-on-4 is a full-arch tooth replacement solution that uses just four dental implants to support a fixed prosthetic (bridge or denture) in the upper or lower jaw. Instead of replacing each missing tooth individually, the All-on-4 technique offers a streamlined, long-lasting alternative to traditional dentures.
Benefits:
- Fixed (non-removable) full-arch teeth
- Enhanced chewing ability and speech
- Prevents jawbone deterioration
- Dramatic improvement in facial structure and smile aesthetics
Treatment Options: Same-Day vs Staged
At Uptown Guelph Dental, we offer flexible treatment models:
Same-Day All-on-4
- Implants and a temporary bridge placed on the same day
- Ideal for patients with good bone volume
- Immediate aesthetic and functional improvement
Staged All-on-4
- Implants placed first, followed by healing (3–6 months)
- Final prosthetic placed after integration
- Preferred when bone grafting or extractions are needed
We provide upper arch, lower arch, or both arches depending on your case.
Technology We Use to Plan and Place Your Smile
Our precision-driven approach ensures exceptional comfort and predictable outcomes:
- CBCT 3D Imaging for bone density and nerve mapping
- Intraoral Digital Scanners for clean, accurate impressions

This level of planning supports same-day results and reduces risk.
