What is a dental bridge?

Replace several teeth
with a bridge

A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis that replaces one or several missing teeth by using the adjacent teeth (abutment teeth) or dental implants as support. A proven, durable and aesthetic solution.

At our dental clinic in Tunis, bridges are crafted in monolithic zirconia, e.max ceramic or metal-ceramic, in a CE-certified laboratory. From €400 for a 3-unit bridge (vs €1,200–3,000 in the UK), 10-year warranty.

Materials

The 3 types of bridges

01

Indications

When to place a dental bridge?

1 to 3 missing teeth

The reference solution for replacing 1, 2 or 3 consecutive teeth using the adjacent natural teeth as abutments.

Alternative to implant

When a dental implant is contraindicated (health, insufficient bone, budget), a bridge offers a reliable and durable solution.

After extraction

Replace an extracted tooth quickly without waiting 3–6 months of healing, unlike traditional dental implants.

Bridge on implants

When several teeth are missing, a bridge on 2 implants avoids grinding down healthy adjacent teeth. Optimal solution.

Process

Treatment in 2 appointments (5 days)

1

Preparing the abutments

Local anesthesia, reshaping of adjacent teeth (abutments) to create the bridge space. 3D digital impression for the laboratory.

2

Temporary bridge

A resin temporary bridge is fitted to protect the abutments while the final bridge is manufactured (3 to 5 days).

3

Laboratory manufacturing

Digital CAD/CAM. The final bridge is milled to measure in our CE-certified laboratory, then enamelled by a ceramist.

4

Final placement

Try-in, occlusal adjustment, cementation with dental cement. Immediate result: natural aesthetics and restored chewing function.

In summary: the dental bridge in Tunisia is the ideal fixed solution to replace 1 to 3 missing teeth. From €400 (metal-ceramic) or €600 (zirconia), up to 60% cheaper than in the UK, with a CE-certified laboratory and 10-year warranty. Send us your panoramic for a free quote within 24h.

Dental bridge FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does a dental bridge last?

A zirconia bridge lasts on average 15 to 25 years, e.max ceramic 12 to 20 years, metal-ceramic 10 to 15 years. Our dental clinic Tunis bridges come with a 10-year warranty.

Bridge or implant: which solution to choose?

An implant is preferable for a single tooth (preserves adjacent teeth). The bridge is indicated for 2–3 missing teeth or when implant is contraindicated (insufficient bone, limited budget).

Does the bridge damage the abutment teeth?

Abutment teeth reshaping is required (1 to 2 mm). Our practitioners preserve as much healthy tissue as possible. Alternative: bridge on implants, which avoids reshaping adjacent teeth.

How much does a dental bridge cost in Tunisia?

3-unit bridge: from €400 (metal-ceramic), €600 (zirconia), €800 (e.max). Up to 60% cheaper than in Europe. Free quote within 24h from panoramic.

How long does it take to place a bridge?

2 appointments over 5 days: preparation + impression D1, try-in + final placement D4. Resin temporary bridge between sessions to protect abutments.

Does the bridge hurt?

No. Placement under local anaesthesia, painless. Slight sensitivity possible 1–2 days after abutment preparation, managed with simple painkillers (paracetamol).

How to care for a dental bridge?

Brushing 2×/day, special bridge floss (interdental brushes), water flosser recommended. Annual check-up + scaling every 6 months to preserve sealing and longevity.

Bridge vs implant: the bridge is faster (5 days vs 6 months) and cheaper per unit, but requires reshaping adjacent teeth. The single implant preserves neighbouring teeth. Complex cases: full-arch All-on-4 bridge.
