All-on-X fixed implant teeth in the Okanagan
All-on-X replaces a full arch of teeth with a fixed set that is attached to four or more dental implants. It does not come out at night and it does not slip. An oral surgeon places the implants, and Jason Kasper designs and makes your new teeth in our own Vernon lab.

What it is
What is All-on-X?
All-on-X, also called All-on-4 or full arch implants, is a way to replace every tooth in your upper or lower jaw with one fixed bridge. The bridge is screwed onto four or more implants, so it stays in your mouth and works like a set of natural teeth.
The X stands for the number of implants. Many patients need four per arch, some need five or six depending on their bone and bite. Your surgeon decides how many implants you need, and we design the teeth around them.
It is the closest option to having your own teeth back. People who choose it usually want to stop taking a denture in and out, stop using adhesive, and eat what they want again.
The process
How the same-day process works
Free consultation
Jason looks at your mouth, your current teeth or dentures and your goals, and explains All-on-X and snap-in implant dentures side by side. If All-on-X fits, we refer you to an implant surgeon and plan the case together.
Digital planning
Your surgeon plans where the implants go. We design your new teeth digitally, so the shape, colour and bite are set before surgery day.
Surgery day
Any remaining teeth are removed and the implants are placed by the surgeon. In most cases a fixed set of teeth is attached the same day, usually within 4 to 8 hours.
Your final teeth
Once the implants have healed, we make your final bridge in our lab and fit it. After that you come in for regular check-ups and cleanings.

All-on-X vs snap-in implant dentures
All-on-X
Fixed to four or more implants. Stays in day and night and is only removed by us. Feels and chews the most like natural teeth. Usually the larger investment.
Snap-in implant dentures
A removable denture that clips onto two to four implants. You take it out at night to clean it. Far more secure than a regular denture and usually costs less. Compare snap-in implant dentures.
Regular dentures
No surgery and the most affordable. Modern digital dentures fit well, but a lower denture can still move. See our full dentures.
Is it right for you?
Who is a good candidate for All-on-X?
- People with failing or missing teeth across a whole arch who want fixed teeth
- Denture wearers who are tired of a loose denture, adhesive or sore spots
- Anyone who wants to eat and speak without thinking about their teeth
- People with enough jaw bone and good general health for implant surgery (your surgeon will confirm this)
If All-on-X is not the right fit, a snap-in implant denture or a lower suction denture can still give you a much more secure fit.
Paying for All-on-X
Cost, insurance and financing
The cost of All-on-X depends on how many implants you need, whether one or both arches are being done, and the surgeon’s fees. You get a written treatment plan with your costs at your free consultation, before anything starts.
We bill insurance directly for the parts that are covered and we are a registered CDCP provider. Financing is available through iFinance and Dentalcard so you can spread the cost into monthly payments. See how insurance, CDCP and denture financing work at our clinics.

Questions
All-on-X FAQs
Who places the implants?
An oral surgeon or implant dentist places the implants. As a registered denturist, Jason designs, makes and fits the teeth that attach to them, and we coordinate the plan and timing with your surgeon.
How long does All-on-X take?
Planning takes a few weeks. On surgery day most patients leave with fixed teeth, usually within 4 to 8 hours. Your final bridge is made once the implants have healed, which usually takes a few months.
How much does All-on-X cost?
It depends on the number of implants, one arch or two, and your surgeon. We give you a written estimate at your free consultation, and financing is available through iFinance and Dentalcard.
Is All-on-X covered by insurance or CDCP?
Some plans cover part of the teeth or the surgery. We check your coverage and bill your insurance directly, but most patients pay part of the cost themselves. We will go through it with you before you decide.
How long does All-on-X last?
With good home care and regular check-ups the implants can last many years. The teeth on top wear over time like any denture and can be repaired or replaced in our lab.
Can I switch from a snap-in denture to All-on-X later?
Sometimes. It depends on how many implants you have and where they are. Bring your questions to your consultation and we will look at your options.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book a free consultation with us directly. If All-on-X is right for you, we arrange the referral to the surgeon.
