There are two types of dentures: complete and partial. Complete dentures
replace your entire set of upper or lower teeth, while partial dentures,
with their metal framework, replace multiple missing teeth.
Partial
dentures are usually the most economical solution to replace missing teeth.
If your partial denture is designed by an expert dentist like Dr. Courey,
the results can be very beautiful and natural looking. The patient pictured
at left had crowns on her front teeth and a partial denture to replace
her back teeth, and the results are superb.
If you wear complete dentures, Dr. Courey may be able to help you improve
your satisfaction with your dentures. Studies show that more than half
the people with complete lower dentures are not happy with them. For complete
upper dentures, the number of dissatisfied patients jumps to seventy-five
percent. If you are contemplating dentures, talk to Dr. Courey about all the options first. He may help you find a solution that
is more beneficial, both financially and for your quality of life.
It may take some time to adjust to your dentures. Speaking and eating
may feel strange at first, but the expert fit designed by Dr. Courey
will help you become accustomed to your new dentures quickly.
