A dental bridge is a fixed prosthetic solution used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to adjacent healthy teeth. At DentMax Dental Clinic in Istanbul, we offer zirconia, porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM), and all-ceramic bridge options to restore both the function and appearance of your smile. Closing tooth gaps with a bridge not only improves chewing efficiency but also prevents surrounding teeth from shifting and protects jaw alignment.

What Is a Dental Bridge?
A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that replaces missing teeth by using the neighboring teeth as supports. It fills gaps and restores chewing and aesthetics.
How Is a Dental Bridge Made?
The adjacent teeth are reshaped, and impressions are taken. A custom bridge is prepared in the lab and permanently cemented in 4–5 days.
When Is a Dental Bridge Recommended?
When implants are not possible, when a quicker fixed solution is preferred, or when bone volume is insufficient for implant placement.
What Types of Dental Bridges Are Available?
✓ Zirconia bridge
✓ Porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) bridge
✓ All-ceramic (E.max) bridge
The material is selected based on the location and esthetic needs.
What’s the Difference Between a Bridge and an Implant?
A bridge uses adjacent teeth as anchors, while an implant is placed into the bone and stands independently. Both restore chewing and aesthetics.
Is the Bridge Procedure Painful?
No. It is performed under local anesthesia and is painless. Some mild sensitivity may occur after cementation, which subsides quickly.
How Long Does a Dental Bridge Last?
With proper oral hygiene, a bridge can last 10–15 years or longer. Regular check-ups are key to longevity.
Why Choose DentMax?
At DentMax, all fixed restorations are digitally designed, planned by experienced dentists, and customized to ensure natural appearance, durability, and comfort.
