Cantilever bridge in Smile Dental Turkey
About the clinic
A cantilever bridge at Smile Dental Turkey in Antalya offers a specialized solution for missing teeth using one-sided support. This procedure is led by Dr. Uğur Gültekinler D.D.S., a cosmetic dentist with over 20 years of experience in smile design. The clinic holds ISO 9001 certification and an official Health Tourism Certificate from the Turkish government.
Precision Dental Restoration
The cantilever bridge is a minimally invasive option for patients with gaps that have healthy teeth on only one side. The process involves two visits to the clinic. During the first visit, the dentist prepares the support tooth and takes 3Shape digital impressions. These digital scans provide a more accurate fit than traditional molds. The final bridge is placed during the second appointment after it is crafted in the on-site laboratory.
Patients can choose between high-quality porcelain or zirconium materials for their restoration. Having a lab on the clinic premises helps speed up the process and allows for immediate adjustments. This setup helps the medical team match the color and shape of the bridge to your natural teeth.
Expert Dental Care
Dr. Uğur Gültekinler D.D.S. leads the clinical team as a co-founder and lead smile designer. With over 20 years of experience, Dr. Uğur Gültekinler D.D.S. specializes in cosmetic dentistry and digital smile design. The clinic is also a member of the Turkish Dental Association and is listed under HealthTürkiye, which marks it as a verified provider for international patients.
Warranty and Aftercare
The clinic provides a 5-year warranty on dental bridge work. This includes a "No Worries" period for the first year. If a repair is needed during that time, the clinic helps cover return travel costs up to a certain amount and provides hotel stays. To keep the warranty active, the clinic recommends a yearly professional cleaning and check-up.
- Digital impressions using 3Shape technology for better comfort and precision.
- On-site dental lab for faster production of zirconium or porcelain bridges.
- One-sided support design to save healthy tooth structure on the other side of the gap.
- International safety standards followed through ISO 9001 and government accreditation.
