If you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or need help understanding your options, Dr. Gary Simms and our dental team can evaluate your smile and recommend a treatment plan that fits your needs.

Dental Implants Designed to Look and Feel Natural
Dental implants are one of the most reliable ways to replace missing teeth. An implant is designed to act like an artificial tooth root, helping support a crown, bridge, or denture. Once restored, the implant can provide a strong, natural-looking replacement tooth that blends with your smile.
Dental implants may help with:
- Replacing a single missing tooth
- Replacing multiple missing teeth
- Supporting dentures
- Improving chewing ability
- Preserving facial appearance
- Restoring confidence when smiling or speaking
Every patient’s mouth is different. During your visit, we will review your oral health, discuss your goals, and explain whether dental implants are a good option for you.
Tooth Extraction
Dr. Gary Simms, DDS may recommend a tooth extraction for several reasons. A tooth may need to be removed if it is severely decayed, affected by advanced periodontal disease, or broken beyond repair. Extraction may also be necessary when a tooth is poorly positioned, impacted, or needs to be removed as part of preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Dental Abscess
A dental abscess can develop when bacteria enter a tooth or the surrounding gum tissue. This may happen because of deep decay, a cracked or broken tooth, untreated gum disease, or an opening that allows infection to spread. When the infection reaches the tooth root or forms in the space between the tooth and gum, it can create a painful pocket of pus known as an abscess.
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the infection. In many cases, the dentist may need to drain the abscess to relieve pressure, remove infected material, and help prevent the infection from spreading.
Mouth Guard
Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, can place excessive pressure on the teeth, jaw, and surrounding muscles. Because it often happens during sleep, many patients do not realize they are grinding or clenching until symptoms appear. Over time, untreated bruxism can lead to worn teeth, jaw discomfort, facial pain, tooth sensitivity, and frequent headaches.
Toothache
Many patients visit Metro Decatur Dental Group PC because they are experiencing tooth pain or discomfort. Since the cause and severity of a toothache can vary from patient to patient, a proper dental evaluation is important. Dr. Gary Simms, DDS will review your symptoms, examine the affected area, and recommend a treatment plan focused on relieving pain and addressing the source of the problem.
