Dental Bridges Turkey
Smile Center Turkey
Restore your smile and chewing function with high-quality dental bridges in Antalya. Affordable, long-lasting, and natural-looking — only at Smile Center Turkey.
Dental bridges are a reliable and cost-effective solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. They work by anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. The result is a fully restored bite, improved appearance, and better oral health.
At Smile Center Turkey, we offer custom-made dental bridges crafted from durable materials such as porcelain fused to metal, zirconia, or full ceramic — designed to match your natural teeth and enhance your comfort, function, and confidence.
What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic solution used to replace one or more missing teeth by “bridging” the gap between healthy teeth or dental implants. It consists of one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) anchored in place by crowns on the adjacent teeth — known as abutment teeth.
In a typical dental bridge procedure, the teeth on either side of the gap are prepared by reshaping them slightly to hold the crowns. Then, a custom-made bridge — crafted from porcelain, zirconia, or a combination of materials — is placed and bonded securely for a natural and functional result.
Unlike removable dentures, dental bridges are fixed in place and restore both the appearance and function of your smile — making them a popular choice for patients looking for stability, aesthetics, and long-term comfort.

Dental Bridge Turkey Overview
Treatment Objective
Dental bridges aim to restore missing teeth and improve chewing, speech, and aesthetics by anchoring artificial teeth to surrounding healthy teeth or implants.
Procedure Duration
The procedure is completed in 2 sessions over 5–7 days. Each visit lasts 60–90 minutes, including tooth prep and bridge placement.
Hospital Stay
Usually no hospitalisation is required; however, a short rest period is recommended after the procedure.
Recommended Stay Duration
We recommend staying in Antalya for 3–4 days to allow for consultation, treatment, and final polish if needed.
Post-Treatment Potential Symptoms
You may feel mild gum sensitivity or slight discomfort near the treated area. These effects usually fade within a few days.
Estimated Recovery Period
Most patients adjust to their dental bridge within 1 to 2 weeks. Normal daily activities can resume after just a short recovery.
Dental Bridges Procedure
The dental bridge procedure is typically completed in two appointments over 5 to 7 days. It begins with a consultation and examination where your dentist evaluates your oral health and determines the best bridge type for your case.
During the first visit, the teeth adjacent to the gap (abutment teeth) are gently reshaped to support the bridge. Impressions are taken and sent to our dental lab, where your custom bridge is crafted to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth.
On the second visit, your new bridge is checked for fit and aesthetics, then bonded securely in place. Minor adjustments may be made to ensure a natural bite and comfort.
The result is a restored smile that looks, feels, and functions just like real teeth — providing long-term confidence and chewing support.

Who is Suitable for Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are ideal for individuals who are missing one or more teeth and want a fixed, non-removable solution to restore their smile and bite function. You may be a good candidate if you:
Have one or more missing teeth
Have healthy teeth or implants on either side of the gap
Are not suitable for dental implants or prefer a quicker alternative
Want to improve chewing, speech, and overall aesthetics
Are looking for a durable, natural-looking replacement
This treatment is best suited for patients with good oral hygiene and stable surrounding teeth or implants to support the bridge. It’s especially beneficial for those seeking a cost-effective and reliable alternative to implants.
At Smile Center Turkey, our experienced dentists assess each case individually to determine the most appropriate type of bridge — traditional, cantilever, Maryland, or implant-supported — to ensure comfort, functionality, and a natural-looking result.

Benefits of Dental Bridges Treatment
Restore your smile with natural-looking teeth that blend seamlessly with your existing ones — boosting your confidence and facial aesthetics.
Bridges help improve chewing and speaking abilities, especially after tooth loss in visible or functional areas.
By filling the gap left by missing teeth, bridges prevent surrounding teeth from shifting and causing alignment issues.
Unlike removable dentures, dental bridges are fixed in place, offering more stability and comfort in daily use.
Bridges are a more affordable solution for replacing missing teeth when implants are not suitable or desired.
Things to Consider
Mild gum sensitivity or discomfort may occur after placement, especially in the first few days. These symptoms usually resolve quickly.
You may need a few days to adapt to chewing and speaking with your new bridge. Your bite and tongue will adjust naturally.
Brush and floss regularly, especially around the bridge area. Use floss threaders or water flossers to clean underneath.
Results depend on oral hygiene, the type of bridge used, and the condition of the supporting teeth or implants.
Healing Process
After receiving a dental bridge, most patients can return to daily activities within 1–2 days. Mild discomfort, gum sensitivity, or soreness in the treated area is normal and usually fades within a few days.
You may experience slight changes in your bite or speech as your mouth adjusts to the bridge. This is temporary, and your comfort and function will improve gradually over 1 to 2 weeks.
To support healing, avoid chewing hard foods on the side of the bridge during the first few days. Maintain gentle oral hygiene and rinse with saltwater if instructed by your dentist.
With proper care and follow-up, your dental bridge will feel natural and restore your ability to chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Common Post-procedure Reactions – Dental Bridges
Dental bridges are a restorative treatment, and most patients experience mild, temporary symptoms after the procedure. It’s common to feel slight gum tenderness or sensitivity in the treated area during the first few days.
There is usually no severe pain or swelling, but some patients may need time to adjust to the new bite or chewing motion. Minor soreness or discomfort around the abutment teeth (supporting teeth) is also normal and resolves gradually.
To ensure a smooth recovery:
Avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods for the first few days
Practice gentle brushing and flossing around the bridge
Use special floss or interdental brushes if recommended
With proper care and follow-up, the bridge will settle naturally, restoring both the function and aesthetics of your smile.
