Dental Bridges in Turkey
Dental Bridges in Turkey: An Effective Alternative
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration used to replace one or more missing teeth. It consists of crowns supported by adjacent teeth (abutments). An excellent alternative for those who don't want or aren't suitable for implants.
Types of Bridges
Traditional Bridge
Supported by crowns on adjacent teeth. Most common. Price in Turkey: $300-$800 (3-unit).
Maryland Bridge
Attached with metal or ceramic wings behind adjacent teeth. No preparation needed. Price: $200-$500.
Implant-Supported Bridge
Supported by implants. Strongest and most stable. Ideal for multiple missing adjacent teeth.
Price Comparison
| Type | Turkey | USA |
|---|---|---|
| 3-unit bridge (zirconia) | $300–$750 | $2,500–$5,000 |
Bridge vs Implant
Bridge: Faster and cheaper. No surgery. But requires preparation of adjacent teeth.
Implant: Stronger and longer-lasting. Doesn't affect adjacent teeth. But requires surgery and healing time.
