Exploring Your Options
At LightUp Smile Center, we offer a variety of personalized dental implant solutions in Northwest Ohio. Led by Dr. Benjamin Simonton, a board-certified Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, our expert team provides both fixed and removable options for full-mouth restoration. We are committed to improving the function and appearance of your smile with solutions tailored to your unique needs.
Fixed vs. Removable Solutions
When considering dental implants, it’s important to understand the benefits of both fixed and removable options. While traditional dentures can be a temporary fix, they often loosen over time. Our advanced options—including implant-supported dentures, full-mouth dental implants, snap-in dentures, and cutting-edge Zygomatic implants—are designed for stability, offering up to 98% of your natural chewing ability with a comfortable, lifelike feel.
Zygomatic Implants
Zygomatic implants are a revolutionary option for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw who may not be ideal candidates for traditional implants. These longer implants anchor into the zygomatic bone (cheekbone), providing a secure foundation for full-arch restorations without the need for extensive bone grafting. This solution is perfect for those who have been told they lack the bone density for conventional implants.
The All-On-4® Technique
The All-On-4® technique offers an innovative solution for patients seeking a full-arch restoration with just four implants per jaw. By strategically placing the implants, we can maximize their integration with your jawbone, creating a strong and lasting foundation for your new set of teeth.
Benefits of All-On-4®
- Complete smile restoration in a single day.
- No need to cover the upper palate, enhancing comfort.
- Enjoy natural-looking results with improved functionality.
- Prevent movement or shifting of your teeth.
- Maintain jawbone health and support your facial structure.
- Savor a wider variety of foods with confidence.
Snap-in Dentures
Snap-in dentures offer a great solution for a balance of stability and removability. These dentures securely clip onto implants, reducing movement and enhancing comfort compared to traditional dentures. They can also be easily removed for cleaning, providing convenience without compromising performance.
Teeth-In-A-Day Solutions
Missing Multiple Teeth:
Dental implants can be used to anchor a bridge, restoring several teeth in a row while preserving the health of adjacent natural teeth.
Full-Arch Restoration:
For complete restoration, we use four or more implants to support a full arch of new teeth. Zygomatic implants may be used in more complex cases, providing a secure and reliable foundation.
