What is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring a prosthetic tooth (pontic) to adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges restore chewing function, maintain facial structure, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and provide a natural-looking, permanent solution.
What to Know Before You Go
Pro Tip:
Choose zirconia or e.max materials for bridges in visible areas. They offer superior aesthetics and durability compared to traditional metal-ceramic options.
Insider Note:
The health of abutment teeth is crucial for bridge success. If adjacent teeth have issues, consider implant-supported bridges instead to avoid compromising healthy tooth structure.

All On Dental Clinic Istanbul
"Well where do I start, after a recommendation I started my All on Dental, and what a fabulous journey it has been, firstly dealing with Haifa who truly is fantastic, not pushing me at all, I’ve had to have a lot of work done to get my end result, and today is the day, I cannot tell you how pleased I am, I’ve just eaten a pizza! You hear different things about coming out to Turkey, don’t listen , I can highly recommend All On, all the dentist’s and staff are amazing ❤️"

Antalya Dent Smile (Dental Implants, Crowns, Veneers & Invisalign)
"Couldn't ask for a better experience. Really professional, 5 star for hygiene and cleanliness. So much more advanced than any English dentist. Could not be happier"
— Anthony Broadbelt
Armada Smile Dental Clinic
"I visited in July 2024. From start to finish my experience was a positive one. I felt well looked after and cared for. My Dentist Dr Jale was careful and considerate of my nervousness. I can’t lie, it’s the dentist of course some things they do hurt but I was not in fear of any pain as I felt supported and listened to. Ozzy translated very effectively and always with a smile and a reassuring word. He’s in contact with you for your whole trip there. I was unfortunately not a good candidate for implants but instead I have full crowns with bridges where needed. I can smile now with confidence. Highly recommended. If you’re doing what I did and searching the internet for a quality reasonable dentist that has hygienic expertise at a fraction of the cost of the uk then you don’t need to look any further. And I had my teenage son’s teeth checked and cleaned whilst we were there. 5* service from every single member of staff. If you’re from the uk they can even arrange airport pick up /drop off by the sweetest most polite driver Cengo, a 5* hotel experience (which is awesome) and transfers to and from the dentist, then back to the airport for your flight home. These people are experienced in giving you your confidence again. You won’t be disappointed."
