What is All-On-4 Treatment? Fixed Prosthesis and Implant Planning at BAU Dental Campus

General

28 Jul 2026

BAU Dental Campus offers a fast, planned, and function-oriented solution approach with All-On-4 treatment for patients who are completely edentulous or at risk of becoming edentulous. All-On-4 treatment stands out as a method that can reduce the need for advanced surgical procedures such as sinus lifts or bone grafting, especially in patients with bone deficiency. Since this treatment allows the use of fixed teeth with fewer implants, it constitutes an important option in the implant treatment process.

While 8 to 10 implants may be planned for a completely edentulous jaw in traditional implant applications, 4 or 6 implants can be sufficient with All-On-4 treatment. The main reason for this is that the implants can be positioned at an angle. Thanks to the angular placement, it becomes possible to make more efficient use of the existing bone structure. This planning is evaluated personally according to the patient\'s oral structure, bone condition, and prosthetic needs.

In the BAU Dental Campus approach, the treatment process begins with a detailed radiological and clinical examination. Bone measurements are made as a result of computed tomography, and a suitable plan is prepared for the patient. This stage is extremely important for the success of implant treatment. In which region, at what angle, and in what number the implants will be placed is determined by these evaluations. Thus, the treatment is not limited only to replacing missing teeth; chewing function, aesthetic appearance, and long-term use are also considered together.

All-On-4 treatment consists of two basic parts: surgical and prosthetic applications. On the first day of treatment, 4 or 6 implants are placed in accordance with the planning. On the same day, temporary prostheses, which the patient will use for approximately 3 months, are delivered. This temporary fixed prosthesis process helps the patient return to their social life faster and go through the treatment process more comfortably. Approximately 3 months after the surgical intervention, the permanent prostheses that the patient will use are prepared.

The use of fixed prostheses is of great importance for patients experiencing tooth loss, not only in terms of aesthetic appearance but also for speaking, chewing, and daily comfort. Long-term toothlessness does not only affect smile aesthetics; it can also challenge eating habits, self-confidence, and oral health. BAU Dental Campus, therefore, addresses the treatment plan holistically in edentulous jaw cases.

With successful follow-ups of up to 10 years in the lower jaw and 5 years in the upper jaw, All-On-4 treatment is considered an option with proven long-term results. Consultations with surgical and prosthetic dental treatment specialists at BAU Dental Campus help to correctly understand the patient\'s expectations and clinical needs. Thus, a safer treatment process is created with computed tomography, detailed examination, and personalised prosthesis planning.
