Background and Education
Dr. Ben was born in Vancouver, Canada but is proud to call North Carolina home. He pursued his undergraduate studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where he developed a strong foundation in the sciences. Driven by his desire to make a positive impact on people's lives, he continued his education at the University of New England, earning his dental degree with distinction.
Advanced Training
Rooted in the timeless principles of Dr. Peter Dawson, Dr. Ben has completed the Dawson Academy Residency in Complete Care Dentistry — a comprehensive program centered on achieving balance and harmony within the entire chewing system. This training emphasizes the importance of understanding how the jaw joints (TMJ), muscles, bite, and teeth work together, allowing Dr. Ben to accurately diagnose and treat TMJ disorders, muscle tension, bite misalignment, and related functional issues. By addressing the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms, he helps patients find lasting relief from jaw pain, headaches, and discomfort.
In addition to his expertise in TMJ and jaw-related concerns, Dr. Ben is highly experienced in treating complex dental cases, including full-mouth rehabilitations and esthetic restorations. Guided by Dawson’s philosophy of complete, individualized care, he takes a thoughtful, comprehensive approach to every case—carefully planning treatments that restore both function and esthetics. Whether correcting severe wear, replacing failing restorations, or transforming smiles, Dr. Ben is committed to delivering results that are beautiful, comfortable, and built to last.
Balancing Professionalism and Personal Life
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Ben believes in maintaining a healthy work-life balance. In his free time, you can find him on the golf course, honing his skills as a dentist, through continuing education, and spending time outdoors. He also treasures the moments spent with his Wife, Emily, and their beloved pets, Baloo the dog and LB the cat. Dr. Ben's commitment to family, both personally and professionally, is a testament to his caring nature.
