Replacing one or more missing teeth with a fixed prosthesis supported by the neighboring teeth. A bridge is not taken out of the mouth.

A bridge is a fixed prosthesis made by reducing and crowning the teeth on either side of the gap and placing an artificial tooth in the space between. This restores both chewing and appearance and stops the neighboring teeth from drifting into the gap.
The alternative to a bridge is an implant. If the neighboring teeth are sound and you would rather not have them reduced, an implant may be more suitable. Which one suits you is assessed together at the examination. At our clinic, bridges are made by Dr. Betül Hamitoğlu and Balamir Türker, DDS.
The choice depends on the condition of the neighboring teeth, the amount of bone, your general health and your expectations.
The supporting teeth and gums are assessed with X-rays; bridge and implant options are discussed.
The supporting teeth are reduced under local anesthesia and a temporary bridge is fitted.
Impressions or an intraoral scan are taken; color and shape are checked at the try-in.
The bridge is adjusted to the bite and permanently bonded.
Bridge treatment is carried out by our dentists Dr. Betül Hamitoğlu and Balamir Türker, DDS.
Examination, bridge plan, try-in and fitting.

Examination, tooth preparation and fitting the bridge.





An intraoral scanner and CAD/CAM are available at the clinic.
Because the supporting teeth are prepared under local anesthesia, you do not feel pain during the procedure. There may be mild sensitivity for the next few days.
With good oral care and regular check-ups it can be used for many years. Cleaning under the bridge directly affects its lifespan.
Both have advantages. If the neighboring teeth are sound, an implant may be preferable; if they have fillings or crowns, a bridge may make more sense. The decision is made at the examination.
Mostly zirconia or porcelain fused to metal. The choice depends on the area and your aesthetic expectations.
The fee depends on the number of teeth in the bridge and the material. After the examination you receive a written treatment plan.
