Dental Implant Restoration in Crowley & Eunice, LA
Restore Function and Beauty to Your Smile
Dental implants are one of the most reliable and natural-looking solutions for replacing missing teeth — but like any restoration, they may require maintenance or repair over time. At Acadiana Smiles, we specialize in dental implant restorations, helping patients protect their investment and regain the full function of their smiles when their prosthetics wear out, loosen, or become damaged.
Whether you received your implant at another office or are managing aging restorations, our experienced dentists in Crowley and Eunice offer the expert care you need to restore the comfort and aesthetics of your implant-supported teeth.
What Is Dental Implant Restoration?
Dental implant restoration refers to the repair, replacement, or adjustment of the prosthetic component of your implant system. This includes crowns, bridges, or dentures that are attached to the implant post.
While the titanium post fused in your jawbone can last a lifetime with proper care, the visible portion — your restoration — is subject to wear and damage from:
- Normal chewing forces
- Accidental trauma
- Bruxism (teeth grinding)
- Material wear or fracture
- Implant or abutment loosening
Our team evaluates each case thoroughly to determine if the restoration can be repaired, adjusted, or needs replacement entirely.
Common Reasons Patients Need Implant Restoration
Even high-quality dental work can degrade over time. Patients often come to us for help with:
- Cracked or chipped implant crowns
- Loose or shifting implant-supported bridges
- Worn-out dentures attached to implants
- Poor cosmetic appearance from aging materials
- Bite discomfort or misalignment
If you're unsure about the condition of your implant, a dental exam and X-ray can help us assess its current function and structure.
Our Dental Implant Restoration Process
Restoring an implant is a precise process that prioritizes comfort, durability, and natural aesthetics. Here's what you can expect:
- Comprehensive Assessment
We begin with a clinical evaluation, imaging, and bite analysis to determine the health of your implant and surrounding structures. - Treatment Planning
Our dentists customize a plan to repair or replace the damaged prosthetic. This may include a new crown, bridge, or implant denture. - Digital Impressions
For precise fit and natural results, we use iTero digital impressions instead of traditional molds. - Custom Fabrication and Placement
Your new restoration is crafted using strong, aesthetic materials and securely attached to your existing implant.
We also collaborate with patients who received implant surgery elsewhere and are now seeking long-term maintenance or cosmetic upgrades.

Frequently Asked Questions About Implant Restoration
How long do dental implant restorations last?
The prosthetic portion — such as a crown or bridge — typically lasts 10–15 years or more, depending on the material, oral hygiene, and bite habits. Implant posts themselves can last a lifetime with good care.
Can you fix a cracked crown on an implant?
Yes. In many cases, we can replace the crown without affecting the implant post. If the damage is minor, a repair may be possible.
What if my implant feels loose?
A loose restoration may be the crown or the abutment connecting the crown to the implant. In rare cases, the implant itself may be compromised. We'll perform a detailed evaluation to determine the cause and the best solution.
Do I need to return to the original implant provider?
Not at all. We regularly restore and maintain implants placed by other offices. Our team is experienced with multiple implant systems and components.
Are implant restorations covered by insurance?
Coverage varies. Many plans cover part of the cost of the prosthetic. Our team will provide a detailed breakdown and help maximize your insurance benefits.
