A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a false tooth (pontic) to neighbouring teeth or dental implants. In Turkey, dental bridges cost 50–70% less than in the UK, with no compromise on quality when you choose the right clinic.
Types of Dental Bridges
Traditional bridges use crowns on adjacent teeth as anchors. Cantilever bridges anchor to one adjacent tooth only. Maryland (resin-bonded) bridges use a metal or ceramic wing bonded to the back of an adjacent tooth. Implant-supported bridges are anchored to dental implants rather than natural teeth — the most stable and tooth-preserving option.
Cost Comparison: Turkey vs UK
A three-unit porcelain bridge in the UK typically costs £1,500–£3,000. The same bridge in Turkey costs £400–£900 depending on materials and the clinic. Zirconia bridges are slightly more but offer superior strength and aesthetics. At Persona Smile, all bridge costs are listed clearly on our pricing page with no hidden fees.
The Bridge Procedure
The process takes 5–7 days across two appointments. At the first visit, anchor teeth are prepared and impressions taken. A temporary bridge is fitted while the permanent one is crafted in our in-house dental lab. The final bridge is cemented at the second appointment.
Bridge vs Implant
Bridges are faster and less invasive than implants but require filing down adjacent teeth. Implants preserve neighbouring teeth and prevent bone loss. For long-term value, implants are usually the better investment if you’re a suitable candidate.
