Full mouth dental implants represent a significant investment—but one that pays dividends in quality of life for decades. Here's what to expect across different treatment options.
How much do full mouth dental implants cost in Canada? It depends on which solution you choose:
These are significant investments, but they deliver permanent results lasting 15-25+ years—making the per-year cost quite reasonable compared to ongoing denture replacements.
| Treatment | Per Arch | Full Mouth (Both) | Average |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-on-4 | $20,000-$30,000 | $38,000-$55,000 | $45,000 |
| All-on-6 | $25,000-$35,000 | $48,000-$65,000 | $55,000 |
| Snap-On (4 implants) | $12,000-$20,000 | $24,000-$40,000 | $32,000 |
| Snap-On (2 implants) | $8,000-$12,000 | $16,000-$24,000 | $20,000 |
Number of Implants: More implants = higher cost. All-on-6 costs more than All-on-4 because of two additional implants per arch.
Fixed vs. Removable: Fixed prostheses (All-on-4, All-on-6) cost more than removable snap-on dentures.

Typical Terms: 12-60 month plans, interest rates 0% to 14.99%, approval often same-day.
Example Monthly Payments:

|---|---|---|---|
| $30,000 | $1,350 | $900 | $675 |
| $45,000 | $2,000 | $1,350 | $1,000 |

Provincial Health Plans: OHIP, MSP, RAMQ, and other provincial plans do not cover dental implants (considered elective).
Private Dental Insurance: May cover a portion—typically 50% of "major services" up to annual maximum ($1,500-$3,000). Check pre-authorization before treatment.
Tax Deduction: Dental implants qualify as medical expenses under CRA guidelines. Potential tax savings of 15-30%+ depending on income bracket.
Example: $45,000 treatment × 25% tax credit = $11,250 savings
| Solution | Initial Cost | 10-Year Cost | 20-Year Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Dentures | $6,000 | $18,000 | $36,000 |
| Snap-On Dentures | $32,000 | $36,000 | $44,000 |
| All-on-4 | $45,000 | $48,000 | $55,000 |
| All-on-6 | $55,000 | $58,000 | $65,000 |
Includes typical maintenance, replacements, and repairs.
Analysis: Traditional dentures have lowest upfront cost but highest long-term cost (plus daily frustration). Implant solutions have higher upfront cost but excellent long-term value. Per-year cost of All-on-4: ~$2,250-$2,750 over 20 years.
You're paying for titanium implants (permanent medical devices), precision surgery, custom-fabricated prostheses, specialized expertise, and a solution designed to last 20+ years. Per-year, the cost is quite reasonable.
For certain patients—particularly those restoring the lower jaw or wanting maximum stability—yes. For others, All-on-4 provides equivalent results. Your specialist can advise.
Yes. Many patients prioritize one arch (often lower, which affects function most) and add the second later when budget allows.
Private insurance may cover a portion (often 50% up to $1,500-$3,000 annual max). Provincial plans don't cover implants. The tax deduction often provides more benefit than insurance.

Full arch replacement with 4 implants. Same-day teeth possible.
Enhanced stability with 6 implants. Ideal for lower jaw restoration.
Removable implant-supported dentures. More affordable option.
