Dental Bridges in Turkey: Restore Your Smile with Confidence and Ease
When you lose one or more teeth, it affects not only your appearance but also your ability to chew, speak, and maintain proper oral health. Dental Bridges in Turkey provide a lasting, aesthetic, and function-restoring solution—often at a fraction of the cost you’d pay elsewhere. If you’re seeking world-class expertise, state-of-the-art technology, and a chance to enjoy Turkey’s cultural richness, a dental bridge treatment at a clinic like DentSpa could be the perfect fit.
What Are Dental Bridges?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It “bridges” the gap created by the missing tooth/teeth, using the surrounding healthy teeth or implants as supports. Typically, a bridge consists of:
- Pontic (false tooth/teeth): The prosthetic that fills the gap.
- Abutments (support teeth/implants): The teeth or implants adjacent to the gap, which anchor the bridge with crowns or other support mechanisms.
Dental bridges restore both the functionality (chewing, speaking) and aesthetics of your smile. They’re designed to look natural, blend with your existing teeth, and maintain the alignment and shape of your jaw.
Who Needs Dental Bridges?
- People with Single or Multiple Missing Teeth
- Whether due to decay, trauma, or extractions, a bridge can seamlessly fill the space and protect neighboring teeth.
- Those Seeking a Fixed Alternative to Removable Dentures
- Unlike partial dentures, bridges are cemented or screwed into place, offering enhanced stability and comfort.
- Patients Concerned About Shifting Teeth
- If a gap remains unfilled, adjacent teeth may drift or tilt, leading to bite changes and jaw stress.
- Individuals Wanting an Aesthetic Improvement
- Bridges can close unsightly gaps, restoring a fuller, more natural-looking smile.
If you have healthy abutment teeth or are open to implant placement for support, dental bridges can be a highly effective solution for one or multiple missing teeth.
Why Consider Dental Bridges in Turkey?
- Highly Skilled Dentists and Modern Clinics
- Turkish dental clinics, such as DentSpa, are equipped with cutting-edge technology and staffed by internationally trained professionals.
- Significant Cost Savings
- You can often save 50-70% compared to similar procedures in the US, UK, or Western Europe.
- Multilingual Patient Support
- Many clinics cater specifically to international patients, providing coordination services in English and other languages for a stress-free experience.
- Timely Treatment
- Shorter waiting lists and efficient scheduling allow you to complete your bridge placement quickly.
- Travel and Cultural Experience
- Turn your dental care trip into a memorable journey, discovering Turkey’s rich history and vibrant landscapes.
Types of Dental Bridges
- Traditional Bridges
- The most common type, requiring healthy teeth on both sides of the gap; these are prepared for crowns that support the artificial tooth in between.
- Cantilever Bridges
- Used when only one adjacent tooth is available to serve as an anchor.
- Maryland (Resin-Bonded) Bridges
- Use a metal or porcelain framework bonded behind adjacent teeth, with minimal tooth preparation required.
- Implant-Supported Bridges
- Ideal for patients lacking sufficient natural teeth for support. Dental implants anchor the bridge, offering superior stability.
Your dentist will determine which bridge design suits your oral health, the location of the missing tooth, and your budget.
The Dental Bridge Procedure Step by Step
- Initial Consultation
- Your dentist examines your teeth, gums, and X-rays to confirm your candidacy for a bridge or implants if necessary.
- Tooth Preparation
- If using natural teeth as supports, these “abutment” teeth are shaped to fit crowns. For implant-supported bridges, implants must first be placed and given time to fuse.
- Impressions/Scanning
- A digital or physical mold is taken of your teeth and bite, guiding the lab in crafting a bridge that fits comfortably and aligns with your smile.
- Temporary Bridge
- Often placed while your permanent restoration is being custom-made, protecting prepared teeth and preserving aesthetics.
- Final Placement
- The dentist checks the shape, color, and fit of the new bridge. Once satisfied, it’s permanently cemented or attached, ensuring stable, natural-looking results.
Timeframe: Typically 1–2 visits over 5–7 days, though implant-supported bridges require additional months for implant healing.
Is the Procedure Painful?
Not usually. Local anesthesia numbs the area, preventing discomfort during tooth preparation or implant placement. Minor soreness or sensitivity may occur afterward, but most patients manage it easily with over-the-counter pain relievers. DentSpa’s compassionate team ensures every step remains as comfortable as possible.
Aftercare and Maintenance
- Oral Hygiene: Brush twice daily and use floss or interdental brushes to clean around the bridge, especially underneath the pontic.
- Check-ups: Regular dental exams help monitor the bridge’s condition and detect any early issues such as decay in the abutment teeth.
- Diet: While a bridge restores bite function, be mindful with extremely hard or sticky foods that could stress or loosen the restoration.
- Longevity: With diligent care, a quality dental bridge can last 10–15 years or more.
Travel Recommendations
- Can I travel after the treatment? Yes, though we suggest waiting a day or two for final check-ups, ensuring your bridge is comfortable before exploring or flying out.
- How long should I plan to stay? Most patients stay in Turkey for 5–7 days, sufficient for evaluation, impression-taking, lab work, and final placement.
- Can I get a price estimate before arriving? Absolutely. Providing recent X-rays or digital scans via email allows the clinic to propose a tailored plan and cost estimate.
Why Act Now?
An empty gap can lead to shifting teeth, gum problems, and a compromised bite over time. By investing in a dental bridge, you prevent these complications and reclaim your confidence and quality of life. Early intervention often translates to simpler procedures and better long-term stability.

Frequently asked questions
Am I a candidate for a dental bridge, and how do I start?
If you have one or more missing teeth with healthy adjacent teeth or implants, a dental bridge may be right for you. Simply fill out our inquiry form or get in touch by phone. We’ll gather details about your oral health, discuss your goals, and present a personalized treatment plan. From there, you can review your cost estimate, schedule a trip to Turkey if needed, and begin your path to a stronger, more beautiful smile.
What if I need help after returning home?
We offer post-treatment support via remote consultations, phone, or email to address any concerns. This includes follow-up advice, monitoring bridge stability, and scheduling additional check-ups if needed. Our goal is lasting satisfaction, so you can enjoy your new smile without worry.
Why choose Turkey for dental bridges, and how does DentSpa help?
By coming to Turkey, patients often save up to 70% on costs compared to treatments in the US or UK. At DentSpa, we deliver world-class expertise, advanced facilities, and comprehensive support. Our international patient coordinators handle travel details, from airport pickups to hotel bookings, ensuring your dental journey is smooth and stress-free. We’ll even recommend cultural attractions or local cuisine, making your stay both productive and memorable.
Can I eat normally and travel soon after treatment?
Yes. Dental bridges restore proper chewing function, so you can enjoy a full range of foods. We do recommend initially sticking to softer items for a few days. Traveling is safe as well; once your final bridge is in place, you can usually continue with normal activities. Our team will provide any specific post-care instructions if you plan to fly soon after.
How do I care for my dental bridge over the long term?
Caring for your dental bridge is much like caring for natural teeth:
• Brush twice a day with a non-abrasive toothpaste,
• Floss carefully around the bridge using specialized floss or interdental brushes,
• Attend regular check-ups to ensure proper fit and detect any early issues,
• Avoid chewing excessively hard items (like ice) that might stress the bridge.
What is the procedure like, step by step?
1. Initial Consultation & Exam: We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and possibly take X-rays or impressions.
2. Preparation: The adjacent teeth are shaped to support crowns (unless you choose an implant-supported bridge).
3. Impressions: We create molds of your teeth so the bridge is fabricated to fit accurately and match your bite.
4. Temporary Bridge: A provisional restoration is placed to protect your prepared teeth while the lab crafts your permanent bridge.
5. Final Fitting & Cementation: Once your custom-made bridge is ready, we remove the temporary and bond the permanent bridge in place, checking comfort and fit.
What types of dental bridges does DentSpa offer?
We customize treatment plans based on your unique needs, offering:
• Traditional bridges supported by crowns on the neighboring teeth,
• Cantilever bridges for situations where only one tooth is adjacent to the gap,
• Implant-supported bridges that anchor to dental implants for added stability.
Our dentists guide you to the best option depending on how many teeth are missing, jawbone density, and personal preferences.
Is the dental bridge procedure painful or uncomfortable?
Not at all. We perform the procedure under local anesthesia, ensuring minimal discomfort as the adjacent teeth are prepared and the new bridge is fitted. While some mild soreness or sensitivity can occur afterward, it’s typically manageable with over-the-counter pain relievers. Our team also provides tips on mitigating any post-treatment sensitivity.
How long do dental bridges usually last, and do they look natural?
With good oral hygiene, dental bridges commonly last 10–15 years or longer. At DentSpa, we use materials like ceramic or porcelain that match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, creating a seamless appearance. Proper brushing, flossing, and regular check-ups are key to maximizing their lifespan and maintaining their aesthetic appeal.
What is the difference between dental implants and bridges?
Dental implants use a single pillar to support the crown, while bridges require two adjacent teeth to be prepared as supports.

My first time visiting Dentspa
October 5, 2025
My first time visiting Dentspa, I won’t lie I was nervous at first traveling to Türkiye and trusting a clinic that I only read about online but it all went so well alhamdulillah. I got 2 Dental implants and 2 crowns at half the price that I was quoted in Canada and the service I received was much-much superior, plus I got to travel. I was received at the airport by a Dentspa driver and he dropped me to a hotel which was also arranged by Dentspa. The next morning I was picked up and dropped off at the clinic which was nearby. After seeing the clinic from the inside and how organised the team is…. all my nervousness went away. I loved how Mr. Mounaim and Mr.Faisal were coordinating the whole arrangement, super professional and easy to interact with. There was bit of waiting but they have nice waiting areas so didn’t mind. I got my X-rays done after which they explained me the dental plan, which was similar to the plan suggested by 2 dentists back home, which reassured me that I’m on the right track. Soon I was introduced to Dr. Serdar(I chose him for implants after going through his resume/experience), his team had my Straumann implants ready(had ordered these specific ones cause of the reviews). He completed the surgery in about half an hour and probably in the smoothest way possible. Can’t thank him enough. Later, I was introduced to Dr. Bedir who simply has the best energy and helped me with removing the previous crown(separate from implant work) and took the measurements for new one, which all went smooth. Also, his assistant Ms. Ezgi was super gentle. I was given pain killers and antibiotics but after a night, I didn’t use the painkillers as I didn’t need it. I’ll be back to fix the implant crowns in 4 months or so. Super delighted with the whole experience and relieved that I made the right choice of coming to Türkiye for my critical dental work. I wanna thank the whole Dentspa team for their service and taking care of me.

Root Canal Treatment
Amazing Dental Experience!
October 4, 2025
Oh my gosh, guys! DentSpa was AMAZING!! If I could give 10 stars I would. Dr. Bedir, he did my root canals/fillings and he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. As someone who has extreme anxiety regarding the dentist, Dr. Bedir really made the difference for me. Dr. Elif, she was OUTSTANDING! She is a true artist. She crafted my perfect smile, the veneers and crowns far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Elif went out of her way to ensure I was comfortable and calm. She was so patient and gentle, WAY better than any dentist I’ve experienced in the United States. Oumnia, she was THE sweetest translator and in-office coordinator. She helped thoroughly explain things to me and advocated so heavily for me and my desires, clearly to the doctors. She was amazing and truly made the experience at DentSpa THAT much better. If you’re considering coming to DentSpa, DO IT. There should be no hesitation! DO IT!! It will be the best decision you’ve ever made 🙂 I promise. DentSpa, thank you for giving me my life back.

Tooth Implant Procedure
Best decision ever
September 28, 2025
So after a year and a half of doing research about getting dental implants and caps done, I came across dentspa and after researching dentspa I decided to go with them, and I have to say they made it the most stress-free dental experience I’ve ever had in my life. The staff was excellent and very professional. I feel like I made lifelong friends. I was very surprised with the office and how they conducted themselves each person that I interacted with was a special specialist in their field. We don’t even have that here in the state over here in the states you go to the dentist and it’s one doctor does everything so I like that very much with dentspa. Now that my teeth are finished, they look incredible. My confidence is back and I feel like I’m myself again for anybody thinking of getting dental work done I suggest you use dentspa you won’t regret it.

Excellent Crown Treatment
September 26, 2025
I recently had a Zirconia crown placed at DentSpa by Dr. Tugce, and I am extremely pleased with the entire experience. From the first consultation to the final fitting, everything was handled with professionalism, patience, and attention to detail. Professionalism & Skill: Dr. Tugce clearly has great expertise—the crown was crafted and fitted perfectly, matching the natural tooth color and feeling very comfortable when I bite. She explained each step carefully, which gave me confidence in the treatment. Support & Communication: I was very well supported throughout the process by Rashid and Karim, who facilitated each stage and ensured the transition from one step to another was smooth. A special thanks to Karim, who stayed with me until the entire procedure was completed, providing continuous reassurance and guidance. Haifa, the patient care manager, was also excellent—she shared all necessary information promptly, answered my questions clearly, and made me feel well looked after. Clinic & Staff: The clinic is modern, spotless, and well equipped. Staff members were courteous, professional, and welcoming, which created a calm and comfortable environment. Comfort & Aftercare: The procedure was smoother and more comfortable than I expected. Post-treatment care was well explained providing 20 years of warranty for crowns, and the follow-up has been professional and reassuring. Value: Considering the quality of care, materials used, and the outstanding service, I feel I received excellent value. Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Tugce, Rashid, Karim, and Haifa at DentSpa to anyone needing crown treatment. If you value precision, professionalism, and caring service, this is the right place to go.

Great Experience with Crowns
September 19, 2025
Very good experience. I did the full mouth of crowns. Very little pain, if there was any discomfort they would stop and give more injections. Gave plenty of breaks through the procedure days. Very well organized. Swift care in and out. Having transportation was excellent as this is a city you do not want to drive in.
