Dental Implant Anatomy
Dental implants are an innovative way to permanently and securely replace missing teeth naturally and securely without the need for removable dentures or bridges. Dental implants are composed of two parts, the implant and the crown. The implant portion is surgically embedded into the jawbone and the bone and tissue surrounding it are allowed to heal over a period of three to six months.
Dental Implant Restoration and Crown Placement
After the bone has fully healed, the crown is placed atop the titanium implant to replace the missing tooth. A local oral surgeon working in conjunction with one of our dentists performs the implantation surgery, while Dr. Simmons or Dr. French designs the cosmetic crowns and attaches them to the titanium implant. He can even replace or repair damaged crowns placed by another dentist.
Not only do implants provide the most aesthetically pleasing solution to missing teeth, but they also allow patients to regain much of the control and independence they had with their natural teeth. Unlike removable dentures or partials, dental implants permit patients to speak clearly and eat any type of food.

Choosing French Smiles means selecting a team that is deeply committed to your oral health and well-being. Dr. French and Dr. Simmons bring years of experience and a gentle touch to every treatment.

Our dentists offer all-porcelain crowns, or “caps” as they are often called, for patients with teeth that are badly damaged or decayed beyond the point of repair through traditional filling methods.
We use the revolutionary CEREC® system to provide natural looking porcelain crowns or onlays. These ceramic restorations are created while you wait, eliminating the need for a second visit. Using these all porcelain crowns, you will see no dark lines along the gum line. Results are flawless and natural, resembling a perfect, healthy tooth. Crowns can also be used for strictly cosmetic purposes, such as to restore badly stained or misshapen teeth. Contact us today for more information about porcelain crowns.
Addressing Damaged Dental Implants
Just like natural teeth, dental implants can become damaged, even when we’re taking good care of them. This could be due to inadequate bonding with the jawbone or issues within the jawbone itself. If you notice any cracks, chips, or looseness with your implant, seek the expertise of Dr. French and Dr.Simmons.
Repairing Implants
The approach to implant repair depends on the nature of the damage. For issues isolated to the crown, repairs or replacements can often be made without altering the implant base. Damage to the implant or post, however, usually requires a more intricate process, beginning with the removal of the damaged implant, potentially involving surgery. Following a period for healing, and contingent on a healthy jawbone, a new implant may be securely placed.
Immediate Steps for Damaged Implants
Should you suspect any damage to your implant, don’t try to fix it on your own. DIY fixes risk further damage, including harm to the underlying jawbone. Entrust your dental health to the professionals. Dr. French and Dr. Simmons are equipped to assess and address any implant issues safely and effectively. If you’ve noticed any problems with your implant, give us a call at 770-985-2437 or send us an email so that we can schedule a repair appointment.
