A dental bridge is a fixed, non-removable solution for one or more missing teeth — no surgery, no implants, completed in just 5–7 days. At Pro Estetik Dental Clinic in Izmir, bridges are priced from £120 per unit, compared to £700–£1,200 per unit in the UK. Every bridge is designed, fabricated and fitted by Assoc. Prof. Dr. M. Selim Bilgin using CAD/CAM technology for precision fit and natural aesthetics.
Zirconium and E-max bridges at Pro Estetik are indistinguishable from natural teeth — the same materials used by premium clinics in London and Zurich, at a fraction of the cost. Whether you need a single 3-unit bridge or a longer span to replace several adjacent teeth, Dr. Bilgin will assess the most appropriate material and design for your clinical situation.
All prices include tooth preparation, impressions or digital scan, temporary bridge, final bridge, fitting and any adjustments during your stay.

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic that literally bridges the gap left by one or more missing teeth. It consists of two crowns (called abutment crowns) placed over the teeth on either side of the gap, with one or more artificial teeth (called pontics) suspended between them.
The entire bridge is a single fused unit, permanently cemented in place — unlike a denture it cannot be removed and feels completely natural to eat and speak with. The abutment teeth must be prepared (slightly reduced in size) to accept the crowns, which is carried out under local anaesthesia.
At Pro Estetik, bridges are fabricated using CAD/CAM digital technology in our in-house lab, ensuring an accurate fit and natural appearance. The choice of material — zirconium for strength and durability, or E-max for maximum translucency on anterior (front) teeth — is selected based on the position of the bridge and your aesthetic goals.
Understanding the differences between these three tooth-replacement options helps you make the right decision for your situation and budget.
| Feature | Dental Bridge | Dental Implant | Denture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Surgery Required | No | Yes — implant placement | No (conventional) |
| Fixed vs Removable | Fixed — permanently cemented | Fixed — implant-anchored | Removable (conventional) |
| Bone Preservation | No — some bone loss at gap | Yes — implant stimulates bone | No — bone loss continues |
| Adjacent Teeth Affected | Yes — abutments prepared | No — standalone | Minimal (partial denture clasps) |
| Cost at Pro Estetik | 3-unit from £350 | Single from £200 | Full from £350 |
| Lifespan | 10–15 years | Implant: lifetime; crown: 15–20 yrs | 5–8 years |
| Completion Time | 5–7 days (one visit) | 2 visits over 3–6 months | 5–7 days (one visit) |
A bridge is ideal when adjacent teeth already need crowns, or when you want a fast, surgery-free solution. An implant is the gold standard when the surrounding teeth are healthy and long-term bone preservation matters most.
Your bridge is designed, fabricated and fitted during a single visit to Izmir, typically completed in 5–7 days.
Dr. Bilgin administers local anaesthesia and carefully prepares the abutment teeth — reducing them by 1–2 mm on all sides to create room for the bridge crowns. A temporary bridge is placed to protect the prepared teeth while the final bridge is fabricated.
Precise impressions or a digital intraoral scan are taken of the prepared teeth and bite. Shade selection is made to perfectly match your surrounding natural teeth. These data are sent immediately to our in-house CAD/CAM lab.
Our in-house digital lab mills your bridge from a solid block of zirconium or pressed E-max ceramic using CAD/CAM technology. This typically takes 2–3 days and ensures micron-level precision in fit, shape and occlusion.
The finished bridge is tried in, checked for fit, aesthetics and bite, then permanently cemented. Any bite adjustments are made in the chair. You leave Izmir with a fully fixed, natural-looking tooth replacement — same day as the fitting appointment.
Not all bridges are the same. The appropriate type depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of adjacent teeth and the position in the mouth.
The most common type. One or more pontics are supported by crowns cemented onto the prepared abutment teeth on each side of the gap. Suitable for back and front teeth. Available in zirconium or E-max. From £350 for a 3-unit span.
A conservative technique using a metal-free resin-bonded framework with wings that attach to the backs of the adjacent teeth — no crown preparation required. Ideal for replacing a single front tooth when the neighbouring teeth are healthy and intact. From £250.
Supported by a crown on only one abutment tooth rather than two. Used when there is only one healthy tooth adjacent to the gap. Less common due to the higher stress placed on the single abutment, but suitable in specific cases assessed by Dr. Bilgin.
Where multiple adjacent teeth are missing, a bridge can be supported by implants rather than natural teeth. This avoids preparing healthy teeth and preserves jaw bone. Two implants can support a 3–4 unit bridge. From £700 including implants.
