Dental Bridge in Turkey, Prices of Istanbul Clinics

What are the Types of Dental Bridge in Istanbul?

Be careful because it is necessary to distinguish between the different types of tooth Bridge, which will differ according to the type of preparation, lying, and longevity. The different types of dental bridges are:

• Fixed dental bridges : Fixed dental bridges create a filling tooth which is supported by crowns placed on healthy teeth on either side of the slot in the mouth to hold the bridge for a tooth in place. It is the most common type of bridge. It is generally made of porcelain melted on metal or ceramic.
• Cantilever dental bridges : Each type of bridge dental prosthesis is intended for a specific use. They are all used to replace missing teeth but each has certain characteristics that make it preferable for particular situations.
• Complete dental bridges : Full implant-supported dental bridges are also more comfortable and stable than conventional dentures, allowing you to maintain a more natural bite and chew ability.
• A removable dental bridge : A removable bridge will conceal your tooth loss and restore your lost teeth. The false teeth are supported by a metal frame that attaches to the natural teeth or, in some cases, crowns attached to the natural teeth are used to hold the removable bridge in place.

Types of dental crowns used: gold, porcelain & zirconia crown

There are different types of dental bridges. They change depending on the material from which the prosthesis is made. The three main types are:

• Gold (metal).
• Porcelain.
• Zirconium.

Gold (metal) crown

In fact, gold crowns are a mixture of copper (Cu) and other metallic elements (nickel or chromium). The most important benefit of gold crowns is their resistance and longevity.

However, this type of crowns is not very popular today because of their unnatural color and appearance. Moreover, some people are allergic to copper, nickel or chromium.

Porcelain (Ceramic) Crown

It is the mostly used crown in implant supported bridges in the recent years. It is completely created of porcelain material. Some of its advantages are:

• It offers the best and the most realistic aesthetic;
• It meets your adjacent teeth in form, dimension, and color;
• The most suitable choice for front teeth restitution;
• It is biologically well-matched with your body (biocompatible).

Zirconia Crown

Zirconium is a brand-new material that associates the strength of metals with the beautiful appearance of porcelain. High semitransparent zirconia and stratified zirconia crown has become a very popular option nowadays.

Some of its advantages are:

• It offers good aesthetics;
• It is resistant and durable;
• The process of placing them won’t take long, because zirconia can be refined and molded at the same dental clinic. It doesn’t necessitate to be sent to an external dental laboratory;
• As metal free crowns, they are biocompatible.

However, a zirconia dental bridge cost is typically more expensive than other types of crowns.

What are the Advantages?

Dentists and orthodontists often indicate bridges rather than dentures for the patients who have sufficient remaining teeth that are healthy. The healthy teeth represent ground tackle for bridges, unlike the dentures that must be placed on the gingival tissue using some kind of temporary sealer which is not very safe.

However, this procedure has several other advantages. For example :

• It is less expensive than an implant : It does not need as much precision and is minimally invasive to put in place, which means that its price is cheaper than a dental implant. The price is one of the major reasons some patients choose bridges over implants. 
• It is very aesthetic, it has a hue very close to real teeth : It is made to appear natural and to meet your remaining real dentition. A dental bridge will totally rejuvenate and beautify your smile like the Hollywood Smile procedure.
• No bone grafting is needed : The complete loss of the teeth makes the jaw bone lose its density ( osteopenia ). Bone grafting is a surgery used to fortify the mandible or the maxilla by replacing their bone by synthetic or animal bone fragment. Bridges do not require this procedure.
• It is a less time-consuming option : Dental bridges are easier to place than other tooth restoration options, because the patient don't need bone grafting. Although the doctor will put some implants to support the bridges, the latter are still faster to place.

What are the Disadvantages?

Like any other dental procedure, dental bridges also have disadvantages, although there are not many of them. Among these disadvantages we find:

• The sacrifice of two healthy teeth. The dentist will devitalize and trim healthy teeth of either side of the missing dentition.
• In the absence of the root of the dentition, the bone of the gum will retract which will make the installation of a possible implant very difficult.
• Bridge is not reimbursed by health insurance

How to put it?

The dentist will begin with a stomatological examination. This aims to treat the edentulous area and extract any remaining teeth residues. Then, the dentist will make an impression of the patient's teeth with a paste, that will be sent to the prosthetist.

After receiving the bridges, the tooth doctor will make an appointment with the patient to place the bridge on the gum.
