At Starcare Dental, we offer dental bridge services to residents of West Chester, Pennslyvania, and surrounding communities.
Dental bridges are prosthetic teeth supported by dental crowns (traditional bridges) or implants (implant-supported bridges).
A traditional bridge is a viable option for replacing two or three consecutive missing teeth. Your new prosthetics are supported by dental crowns placed on healthy abutting teeth.
