Are you tired of dentures that slip while you eat? Or maybe you have several failing teeth and want a permanent solution?
All-on-4 dental implants could change your life—and you can get them right here in Calgary.
All on 4 dental implants replace a full arch of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. These implants act like strong anchors that hold your new teeth firmly in place.
The best part?
You walk out of surgery with a complete set of temporary teeth the same day.
At Calgary Oral Surgery Group, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons have the specialized training and experience to perform All-on-4 procedures with precision and care.
With four convenient locations across Calgary and area, we make it easy to get the smile you deserve.
Understanding All-on-4 Dental Implants
Think of All on 4 dental implants like building a bridge. Instead of needing a support post under every plank, you only need four strong pillars to hold up the entire structure.
Here’s how it works:
The Front Implants
Two implants go straight into the front of your jaw. This area typically has the strongest bone, making it perfect for anchoring your new teeth.
The Back Implants
Two more implants are placed at an angle (30-45 degrees) toward the back of your jaw. This angled placement is smart—it uses the best bone available and avoids important structures like nerves and sinuses.
Together, these four implants support 10-14 replacement teeth. The implants bond with your jawbone over several months, creating a rock-solid foundation for your new smile.
Major Benefits of All-on-4 Dental Implants
Eat Your Favorite Foods Again
With All on 4 dental implants, you can bite into apples, chew steak, and enjoy corn on the cob. You’ll regain up to 70% of your natural biting force. Compare that to traditional dentures, which only give you about 25% chewing power.
No More Slipping or Clicking
Your teeth stay firmly in place—no embarrassing moments when you laugh, talk, or eat. You won’t need messy adhesives or worry about your teeth falling out.
Look Natural
All on 4 dental implants look and feel like real teeth. Most patients say no one can tell unless they mention it. Your new teeth are custom-made to match your facial features and give you a natural, confident smile.
Save Your Jawbone
When you lose teeth, your jawbone starts to shrink. This creates a sunken appearance that makes you look older. All-on-4 implants stop this bone loss by acting like natural tooth roots. They actually preserve your facial structure.
Faster Than Traditional Implants
Traditional full-arch implants need 6-10 implants per arch and often require bone grafting.
This can take 9-18 months. All-on-4 uses only four implants and rarely needs bone grafting, cutting your treatment time significantly.
Plus, you get temporary teeth immediately—no waiting period without teeth.
Why Choose an Oral Surgeon in Calgary for All-on-4
Not all dental professionals have the same training. When it comes to complex procedures like All-on-4, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon offers distinct advantages.
Extensive Surgical Training
Oral surgeons complete 4-6 years of hospital-based surgical residency after dental school. That’s 8-10 years of total training beyond undergraduate education.
During residency, they perform hundreds of implant placements and work alongside specialists in trauma surgery, anesthesia, and reconstructive surgery.
Anesthesia Expertise
Calgary oral surgeons can provide IV sedation and general anesthesia right in the office. They complete 5-6 months of dedicated anesthesia training during residency, including:
- Administering all forms of sedation
- Managing airways and intubation
- Handling medical emergencies
- Monitoring patients during and after surgery
This means you can have your entire All on 4 dental implants procedure done comfortably under general anesthesia—all in one appointment.
Complex Case Management
All-on-4 procedures often involve:
- Extracting multiple failing teeth
- Placing implants at precise angles near nerves and sinuses
- Managing medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease
- Handling unexpected complications
Oral surgeons train extensively in all these areas. Their hospital experience means they can handle any situation that arises, keeping you safe throughout the procedure.
Cost and Financing for Calgary Patients
All-on-4 implants are an investment in your quality of life. In Calgary, the cost typically ranges from $20,000-$30,000 per arch.
While this seems like a lot upfront, consider the long-term value:
20-Year Comparison
- Traditional dentures: $15,900+ per arch (includes replacements, relines, adhesives, adjustments)
- All-on-4 implants: $20,000-$30,000 per arch (minimal maintenance needed)
The cost difference narrows over time, but the quality of life improvement is immediate.
