All-on-4 is the treatment that makes full-arch implants affordable — four implants carrying a fixed bridge instead of one implant per tooth. Canada’s dental implants are not covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan, so full-arch cases routinely run into five figures — which is why a growing number of Canadian patients look at India for it. Here is a clear 2026 cost comparison and what actually drives the price.
All-on-4 cost: India vs Canada
Indicative 2026 ranges; a final quote depends on your scans and the materials chosen. For the wider picture across countries, see our All-on-4 cost: India vs UK comparison, and if you want more implants for extra support, All-on-6 is the step up.
What is included in the price
A complete All-on-4 quote usually covers the four titanium implants, the abutments, a provisional (temporary) set of teeth fitted on the day of surgery, and the final fixed bridge after healing, plus the CBCT scan and the surgery itself. The same-day temporary bridge is a genuine advantage — you never leave without teeth. Confirm the implant brand and bridge material on any quote you compare.
All-on-4 vs All-on-6
Both fix a full arch with a fixed bridge; the difference is the number of implants and how the load is spread.
All-on-4
- Four implants per arch
- Lower cost, often no grafting
- Great when bone is limited
- Proven, widely used
All-on-6
- Six implants per arch
- Better load distribution
- Often preferred for the upper jaw
- Extra resilience
For many lower jaws All-on-4 is the right and cheaper call; upper jaws sometimes benefit from the extra two implants. A bone graft is occasionally needed if the bone is thin.
All-on-4 usually needs 3–6 months between placing the implants and fitting the final bridge, so most patients get the same-day temporary, fly home, and return for the permanent set.

Frequently asked questions
Is All-on-4 done in one trip?
Usually two: implants and a same-day temporary bridge on the first trip, then the permanent bridge after 3–6 months of healing. Many patients time the second trip around a holiday.
Are the implants the same brand as in Canada?
Reputable Indian clinics use the same systems — Nobel Biocare, Straumann and similar. Always get the brand and batch number in writing.
Does the price include the temporary teeth?
At Tooth Simplified the plan is itemised; the same-day temporary bridge, scans and extractions are typically included. Confirm this on any quote you compare.
Is Canadian dental insurance any help for All-on-4 done abroad?
Rarely. Most Canadian dental plans exclude implants or cap coverage well below the cost of a full-arch case, and treatment done outside Canada is often excluded entirely — check your policy wording first.
