Dr. Ben Simonton loves being and is a proud board certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon. During his residency, he was trained to reconstruct faces after car accidents, gun shot wounds and dog bites; to correct jaw abnormalities and treat jaw tumors, not to mention complicated extractions and implants. He has performed countless general anesthetics in the operating room, learning how to safely put patients to sleep and wake them back up. This does not include the thousands of in-office anesthesia cases completed safely.

The impact and change in one's life cannot be overstated. Today, he devotes the majority of his surgical practice to this procedure – to studying it and constantly pursuing ways to improve it. He is focused on how to do this procedure as simply as possible in the least invasive way. This along with the pursuit of the most natural, beautiful and esthetic restoration of ideal facial function and anatomy. Because of this, the LightUp Smile Center was created.

Dr Simonton and his invaluable team strive to make the patient visit as pleasant and comfortable – which is evident from the moment you walk into the office. Integrity and superior healthcare is paramount to the entire team, and he works tirelessly to give his patients an incredible experience while in his care.
