Dental Bridge in Turkey
Also known as: Dental bridges · Fixed dental bridge · Prosthodontics
A zirconium dental bridge at Auradentis in Istanbul costs £[—] per unit in 2026, so a three-unit bridge replacing one missing tooth is around £[—], compared with £1,500–2,500 in the UK. It is made in our own lab and fitted in one visit of four to six days. A bridge suits patients who cannot or do not want to have an implant; where an implant is better, we recommend it instead.

25 min · Sabiha Gökçen AirportWhat it is
A bridge replaces a missing tooth with a false tooth fixed to crowns on the teeth either side. It is fixed, not removable, and fitted in a single visit because no healing time is needed.
The trade-off is that the neighbouring teeth are crowned. If they are healthy and untouched, an implant preserves them and we will tell you that. If they already have large fillings or crowns, a bridge is often the sensible choice.
- Why patients choose it
- Fixed tooth in one visit, no surgery
- No healing months, no second trip
- Metal-free zirconium, natural look
- Good option when implants are not possible

Is it right for me?
Usually a good fit
- ✓One to three missing teeth in a row
- ✓Neighbouring teeth already filled or crowned
- ✓Not enough bone for an implant, or surgery not wanted
- ✓Need a fixed result in one trip
Not ideal, or treated first
- –Healthy untouched neighbouring teeth (implant preserves them)
- –Long gaps of four or more teeth
- –Active gum disease
What can go wrong
Every treatment has risks. Here are the honest ones, and what we do about them.
Neighbouring teeth are crowned
1–2 mm is removed from each supporting tooth. This is permanent, which is why we prefer implants when those teeth are healthy.
Bone loss under the false tooth
Without a root, the bone under the gap slowly shrinks. Cosmetically minor at the back; an implant avoids it.
Decay at the margins
The supporting teeth can decay at the crown edge if cleaning under the bridge is neglected. A water flosser solves this.
Aftercare and how long it lasts
- Clean under the false tooth daily with floss threaders or a water flosser
- Avoid very hard foods on the bridge
- Check-ups every 6–12 months
10–15 years for a zirconium bridge with good cleaning; the supporting teeth decide how long it lasts.
Questions patients ask
How much is a dental bridge in Turkey?
£[—] per unit at Auradentis, so around £[—] for a three-unit bridge, versus £1,500–2,500 in the UK.
Bridge or implant?
Implant if the neighbouring teeth are healthy and you can make two trips. Bridge if those teeth are already crowned or filled, if bone or health rules out surgery, or if you need a fixed tooth in one visit. Your quote shows both.
How many days do I need?
Four to six days in one visit, because the bridge is made in our lab.
Can a bridge be fixed to implants?
Yes. An implant-supported bridge replaces several teeth on two implants without touching natural teeth. It is priced within the implant fee.
