Dental Implants vs Bridges: Make the Right Choice
Compare long-term value, durability and cost — for a lasting, healthy smile
]Implants vs bridges: which offers more advantages?
When replacing missing teeth, implants and bridges are the two most commonly compared options. Implants are independent structures built on titanium posts placed in the jawbone, while bridges are prosthetics anchored to neighbouring teeth. At Smile & Holiday in Fethiye, we offer implant treatments using world-class brands like Nobel Biocare and Straumann at a fraction of UK prices — plus you can combine your treatment with a holiday on the turquoise Mediterranean coast.

Frequently Asked Questions

In the long run, implants are generally the better choice because they don't affect adjacent teeth, prevent bone loss and can last over 25 years. However, bridges offer shorter treatment time and lower upfront cost.
Traditional implant treatment takes 3-6 months including healing time. At Smile & Holiday, we place the implant during your first visit, you return home during the healing period, and come back for a short second visit for crown placement.
If bone density is insufficient, bone grafting can be performed. At Smile & Holiday, we use 3D CT scans for detailed bone analysis to determine the optimal treatment plan. In some cases, short implants or alternative techniques may be used.
At Smile & Holiday, we use world-renowned implant brands including Nobel Biocare, Straumann and MegaGen. All implants are CE and FDA approved and come with a lifetime warranty.
Implants don't require filing down healthy adjacent teeth and function like a natural root in the jawbone, preventing bone resorption. Long-term, they're more cost-effective than bridges since no replacement costs arise.
