Dental bridge treatment is an effective solution to this problem. They restore smile, preserve facial contours, and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting.
In this article, VK Smile Studio will talk in detail about bridges and their role in maintaining oral health.
Dental Bridge in Turkey Meaning
Turkey bridge treatment at VK Smile Studio is used to replace missing teeth, filling the gaps in the dentition. Dentists make prostheses individually, choosing a color to match the patient’s natural teeth.
A prosthesis consists of abutments (supports that can be either natural teeth or implants) and pontics — artificial substitutes for missing teeth.
How Much Does a Tooth Bridge Cost?
How much does it cost for dental bridge depends on its type and the clinic’s location. Dental insurance partially covers the dental bridges cost (depending on the specific plan).
Without insurance, the cost of dental bridge is £600, dental bridge front teeth cost is £500, and implant-supported dental bridges cost is £420.
Teeth Bridges Types in Turkey
The choice of Turkey bridges treatment at VK Smile Studio is varied, and each type has its characteristics and advantages.
Traditional Prostheses in Turkey
A traditional prosthesis is the most common type. It is a structure of crowns installed on healthy teeth on either side of the gap, with artificial teeth filling the gap.
This type is suitable if there are healthy supporting teeth.
Cantilever Prostheses in Turkey
A cantilever prosthesis differs from a traditional type in that it has a crown on only one side. The artificial tooth is attached to a healthy tooth and “hangs” over the gap.
This type is used if the supporting tooth is only on one side of the space. Cantilever prostheses are less durable than traditional ones.
Maryland Prostheses in Turkey
A Maryland prosthesis (or composite) is a fixed prosthesis attached to adjacent teeth using small metal anchors rather than crowns.
This makes it less invasive than traditional ones, as it does not require grinding down adjacent teeth. Because of their aesthetic appeal, Maryland prostheses are more often used to replace front teeth, as they cannot withstand the significant chewing forces that are common in the back of the dentition.
Removable Prostheses in Turkey
Removable prostheses, unlike fixed ones, are attached to adjacent teeth using special clamps, usually metal. They can be installed and removed independently for cleaning.
Such prostheses are usually made of metal and acrylic and are a more budget-friendly treatment than fixed prostheses.
However, they may be less comfortable and durable than fixed structures, which require more careful care.
Implant-Supported Bridges in Turkey
A bridge prosthesis on implants is a structure similar to a traditional one but based on artificial tooth roots.
Before installing a prosthesis, a period of integration of the screws with the bone is required (3-6 months, sometimes longer).
How Is the Bridge Treatment in Turkey Performed?
Bridge treatment involves several stages:
- initial consultation with an examination of the oral cavity and radiography, treatment planning taking into account the condition of the teeth and general health;
- preparation of supporting teeth (grinding or implantation);
- taking an impression to make an individual prosthesis in a laboratory;
- if necessary, installing a temporary prosthesis;
- fixing a permanent prosthesis;
- subsequent control.
A correctly installed prosthesis improves appearance, chewing and diction. For the durability of the prosthesis, careful care and regular check-ups with a dentist are necessary.
Getting Bridge Benefits in Turkey
Installing a prosthesis significantly improves the quality of life, restoring not only the aesthetics of the smile but also the functionality of the entire jaw.
The benefits of prosthetics include the following:
- restoration of an attractive smile and natural facial contours;
- improvement of chewing function and clarity of speech;
- prevention of displacement of adjacent teeth, which eliminates the development of bite problems and subsequent complications;
- maintaining the natural tone of the facial muscles and preventing their sagging in the area of missing teeth;
- increased self-esteem and self-confidence.
Teeth Bridge Risks in Turkey
Damage or caries of the supporting teeth can lead to instability of the entire structure, and insufficient strength of the supporting teeth can cause their destruction.
Failure to maintain oral hygiene (poor cleaning of the prosthesis and gums) increases the risk of developing caries and gingivitis (gum inflammation).
In addition, an allergic reaction to the materials may occur, as well as a feeling of discomfort or a foreign body in the oral cavity during the adaptation period.
Dental Bridge Recovery in Turkey
The recovery period depends on the prosthesis type, the state of oral health, and the characteristics of the patient’s body. On average, healing of the gum tissue and surrounding teeth takes from one to two weeks.

FAQ
The healing time after a prosthesis is individual and depends on various factors. Usually, gums and teeth heal within 1-2 weeks, but full adaptation to the prosthesis may take longer.
Dental prostheses last between 5 and 15 years, but lifespan depends on care and may require replacement if worn or damaged, despite being called “permanent” (i.e. non-removable).
Caring for a prosthesis is the same as caring for natural teeth: brushing and flossing regularly, using non-abrasive toothpaste, cleaning the space under the prosthesis, avoiding hard foods and bad habits (chewing hard objects), and regular preventive checkups.
The prosthesis makes eating easier, although it is recommended to eat soft and mashed foods at first until you get used to the prosthesis.
The prosthesis improves diction, eliminating the difficulty in speaking associated with missing teeth.
