"Ongoing study of a variety of medical, dental and surgical disciplines gives me a wide range of diagnostic insight and diversified approaches to tooth replacement solutions. There are many resources, tools and technologies available to dental professionals today. Knowing how and when to utilize them is what distinguishes a good dentist from a great dentist. This is what sets us apart."
According to the American College of Prosthodontists, "Extensive training and experience provide prosthodontists with a special understanding of the dynamics of a smile, the preservation of a healthy mouth and creation of tooth replacements." Missing or imperfect teeth due to trauma, decay or diseases can be replaced with beautiful, long-lasting, functional teeth.
"A great team is the key to providing our patients with the best restorations available," says Dr. Courey, who practices with fellow prosthodontist, Dr. Joseph Zagami. "Our collaboration with the finest dental specialists and labs leads to innovation in solving the most complicated dental dilemmas."
Testimonials
"I went to Dr. Courey after a miserable year of suffering with ridiculous looking implants done by a regular dentist. I tried to live with the result, but it was awful and was an awful waste of money. I got a recommendation to try Dr. Courey. From day one, the experience was completely different. Dr. Courey was sympathetic, absolutely thorough, and honest about what it would take to restore my look and bite to something approaching my original smile. He outlined the options, explaining which would suffice, which would be best for a long-term outcome, and explained the difference in cost and time. I opted for the intensive work. Dr. Courey is a perfectionist. I was amazed by the time and care he took to ensure every single detail (many I couldn't even understand -- angles and measurements, etc.) was perfect. I am happy to say that I am completely thrilled with the outcome. I never imagined I could have my old, original smile back, but I do! Lesson learned: do not go to your regular dentist and expect a specialist's outcome. Go to a prosthodontist, and if at all possible, go to Dr. Courey. He and his staff are friendly, genuine, terrific professionals. I cannot say enough about this practice. I showed my new smile to my family, friends, and girlfriend - they were all amazed. Thanks again - you are the best."

"Dr James Courey is quite possibly one of the GREATEST dentist I have ever had the pleasure of encountering. I went to him after I lost faith and trust in my previous dentist. Knowing the situation and acknowledging my obvious apprehension he put every worry and question in my mind at ease. His demeanor is relaxed and caring while his knowledge base is amazing. You can tell he really loves what he does. His staff are some of the kindest people I had ever met and were extremely accommodating with my insane work schedule. Dr Courey not only saved my smile, but restored my faith in dentists and people alike. I know I was not always the easiest patient due to past experiences, but he handled my fears and my overzealous mannerisms with amazing confidence assuring me I would not be disappointed. I MOST CERTAINLY WAS NOT. I cannot stop smiling and have NEVER been happier. I highly recommend him and his staff. THANK YOU DR. COUREY FOR GIVING ME MY SMILE BACK!!!!"
