Your Remaining Teeth
We carefully evaluate whether your remaining teeth can be predictably restored or whether replacing them may provide a healthier, longer-lasting result.
Exploring Your Options
Finding the Right
Solution Starts Here
No two smiles—or treatment plans—are exactly alike. Whether you are dealing with failing teeth, extensive tooth loss, or years of dental problems, our team will help you understand your options and determine which path best fits your health, lifestyle, and long-term goals.
Every treatment plan is personally evaluated by Dr. Benjamin Simonton, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, using advanced 3D imaging and a comprehensive clinical evaluation.

Personalized Treatment Planning
What Is Right for You?
The best solution depends on more than how your smile looks today. Dr. Simonton considers your health, anatomy, concerns, and goals before recommending treatment.
Bone & Anatomy
Advanced 3D imaging allows us to assess bone volume, sinus position, nerves, and other anatomical details involved in implant planning.
Your Oral Health
Gum health, infection, previous dental work, medical history, and healing factors all help shape your recommended treatment plan.
Your Daily Life
We consider the foods you want to enjoy, the stability you need, your comfort concerns, and how you want your new smile to function.
Your Smile Goals
Tooth shape, shade, facial proportions, and your personal preferences are considered when planning a smile that feels natural to you.
Understanding the Difference
Traditional Dentures or
Fixed Full-Mouth Implants?
Both restore missing teeth, but they differ significantly in comfort, stability, function, and how they feel in everyday life.
Traditional Option
Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures rest on the gums and are removed each day. The upper denture typically covers the roof of the mouth, which may affect comfort, taste, and how natural the appliance feels.

✓
Fixed in place
Only your doctor removes the bridge during scheduled maintenance.

Helps support the jawbone
Dental implants provide stimulation that helps preserve bone.
Every smile is unique. Treatment recommendations depend on your oral health, medical history, bone anatomy, and clinical evaluation.
A Personalized Evaluation
Could Full-Mouth Implants Be Right for You?
You do not need to know which treatment you need before scheduling a consultation. That is what your evaluation is designed to determine.
Many patients who have been told they lack sufficient bone, have complex dental problems, or have struggled with dentures may still have options. Dr. Simonton evaluates each case individually and discusses what is realistically possible.
