About This Treatment

A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth (called pontics) to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. The supporting teeth are prepared with crowns, and the bridge spans the gap, restoring your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence. The procedure typically takes two appointments. At the first, the supporting teeth are reshaped to accommodate crowns, impressions are taken, and a temporary bridge is fitted. The permanent bridge is then fabricated in a dental laboratory from materials like zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal, or all-ceramic. At the second appointment, the temporary bridge is removed and the permanent one is cemented in place. Bridges are a well-established and reliable option for replacing missing teeth, particularly when the supporting teeth already have large fillings or crowns and would benefit from additional protection. They are quicker than implants (no healing period required) and more affordable for replacing one to three adjacent missing teeth.

Duration

3-7 days from preparation to final fitting

Stay Required

5-7 days

Visits

1 visit (2-3 appointments over several days)

Materials

Zirconia, Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), All-ceramic (E-max)

Typically Included

  • Consultation and dental examination
  • Preparation of supporting teeth
  • Digital scan or impressions
  • Temporary bridge while permanent one is made
  • Laboratory fabrication of the permanent bridge
  • Final fitting and cementation

Not Usually Included

  • Root canal treatment on supporting teeth if required (quoted separately)
  • Flights and travel insurance
  • Post-operative medication (minor cost locally)

Good Candidates

  • Patients with one to three adjacent missing teeth
  • Those with strong, healthy teeth on either side of the gap to act as supports
  • People who want a fixed (non-removable) solution faster than implants
  • Patients whose supporting teeth already need crowns

Risks & Considerations

  • Supporting teeth must be permanently reshaped, which is irreversible
  • If a supporting tooth develops problems later, the entire bridge may need replacing
  • Food can trap under the pontic (false tooth) if oral hygiene is not maintained
  • Bridges typically last 10-15 years and may eventually need replacement

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do dental bridges cost in Turkey?

Dental Bridges in Turkey typically cost £170-£229 per per unit. This is significantly less than the UK average of £750.

Is Turkey safe for dental bridges?

Yes. Turkey is a well-established dental tourism destination. MyDentalFly only lists verified clinics with international accreditations. The same implant brands and materials used in the UK are available at partner clinics.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for dental bridges?

You'll typically need to stay 5-7 days in Turkey. Most treatments can be completed in a single trip.

Is a bridge better than an implant?

It depends on your situation. Implants preserve neighbouring teeth and last longer, but take months to complete. Bridges are faster, more affordable, and ideal when the supporting teeth already need crowns.

How long does a dental bridge last?

A well-made bridge typically lasts 10-15 years with good oral hygiene. Some last much longer. The lifespan depends on the health of the supporting teeth and how well you maintain them.

How do I clean under a dental bridge?

You will need to use special floss threaders or interdental brushes to clean under the pontic daily. Your dentist will show you the technique. Regular dental check-ups are also important.

Which Turkish city is best for dental treatment?

Istanbul has the most clinics and the widest choice — best for complex cases and patients who want multiple options. Antalya is popular for patients combining treatment with a beach holiday, with purpose-built resort-style clinics. Izmir is quieter and often slightly cheaper. All three cities have excellent dental infrastructure and qualified specialists.

How long do I need to stay in Turkey for dental treatment?

Crowns and veneers: 5–7 days. Dental implants: 7–10 days. All-on-4 full arch: 7–10 days for the first trip. Root canals and extractions: 2–4 days. Complex cases involving bone grafts typically require two separate trips 3–6 months apart. Clinics provide a personalised day-by-day schedule based on your treatment plan.
