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.

Outstanding Dental Experience
November 7, 2025
I recently visited DentSpa Healthcare Group in Istanbul, Turkey, for a series of treatments including teeth filling, a root canal, and cleaning. From start to finish, my experience was outstanding. The entire team was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, making me feel comfortable and well cared for throughout my visits. The doctors and staff are clearly very skilled and hardworking, and their attention to detail really shows in the quality of their work. The clinic itself is modern, spotless, and welcoming, with thoughtful touches that make the experience even better — complimentary coffee, tea, and water, as well as a playroom for babies. I was also pleasantly surprised by their complimentary beauty spa treatments after my dental procedure, which made the whole visit feel relaxing and luxurious. DentSpa Healthcare Group truly goes above and beyond to combine top-quality dental care with excellent customer service. I highly recommend them to anyone seeking professional and caring dental treatment in Istanbul.

Affordable Cosmetic Dental Care

Great experience for purely cosmetic reasons. Just replaced 2 metal crowns for porcelain. Much less expensive than the US and I got my teeth cleaned. I’m very happy with the experience and the fact that they covered hotel and transportation to and from the airport and the clinic. 🥰

Root Canal Treatment
Outstanding Dental Experience
October 25, 2025
I recently had my teeth treated at DentSpa, and it was an outstanding experience. I had been considering replacing my two incisors and two molars with crowns, as they were damaged, but it hadn’t been a priority. I live in New Zealand and am currently travelling in Europe. My partner casually mentioned that Türkiye is renowned for its state-of-the-art dental clinics, offering treatments at a fraction of New Zealand’s prices. I had no idea! If I’d ever thought about getting dental work done overseas, I would have considered Bangkok. So, I started researching dental clinics in Istanbul and came across DentSpa. I sent them a message, and within minutes, Merwan contacted me on WhatsApp for an initial chat and phone consultation. He was extremely helpful, responsive, and answered all of my questions about both the dental plan and Istanbul. I felt comfortable from the start and decided to book my treatment. Less than two weeks later, I arrived in Istanbul. Thank you, Merwan, for always being there to help. DentSpa arranged for a driver to pick us up from the airport and take us to our accommodation. For the entire duration of my treatment, I had a designated driver picking me up and taking me back each time. What a treat! The experience at the clinic was top-notch. From the moment I arrived, I was well looked after. Reda, my medical advisor, was very thorough in outlining the plan, and Kerim was always kind and smiley when escorting me to the treatment rooms and during our final settlement chat. The clinic itself is beautiful, with state-of-the-art equipment and an exceptionally high standard of cleanliness and hygiene. Everything felt professional, modern, and safe. I was genuinely impressed. All the doctors and their assistants were fantastic. Special thanks to Dr. Ahmet, who redid an old root canal — turns out, from the X-ray, that a root canal I’d had done 13 years ago was poorly performed and had an ongoing infection — and to Dr. Bedir, who did my four tooth shavings and crowns. He was so gentle, attentive, and talked me through every step of the process. Thank you so much, you were the best. Also, to the doctor who did my composite bonding on the last day to make one tooth longer — thank you! That really completed the look. Thank you to Nohaila, the patient care specialist, who checked in with me every other day to make sure I was doing well — that personal touch meant a lot. And thank you to everyone else at the clinic who interacted with me — the X-ray technician, the lovely smiley receptionists, the lady from Tunisia who did my survey, and the team who took the before-and-after pictures. You’re all doing an amazing job, interacting every day with people from all over the world. Last but not least, thank you to all the drivers who took me to and from the clinic. You guys are superstars — dealing with Istanbul traffic several times a day, every day! I would absolutely recommend DentSpa. I’ve already told my sister and her husband to get in touch with you, as they also need dental work. And surely, I’ll be back when I need more treatment. I live in New Zealand, but I have family in Italy — not so far away. Thank you again, DentSpa!

Amazing Dental Experience
October 16, 2025
Flew here from the US absolutely terrified. I did IV Sedation for the procedure. I was a bit out of it and difficult to deal with. Dr Madina pushed passed that and did amazing work. The rest of the team – Salman, Maggi & Sam showed me nothing but kindness and compassion throughout the entire process. I have severe dental phobia and they made this process so comfortable that I no longer fear the dentist I did 25 crowns total. 5 zirconium and 20 multi layer. They didn’t try and upsell me or double charge. No gimmicks. They are amazing trustworthy group of people. The team has been amazing. I’m forever grateful for them. This changed my life
