“I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive. My dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt at ease throughout the entire appointment. The level of care, patience, and attention to detail is outstanding—I never once felt rushed.
The office is clean, modern, and well-organized, which made the whole experience even better. What really stood out to me was how gentle and thorough the dentist was. For the first time, I left an appointment actually feeling good about going to the dentist!
If you’re looking for a dentist who truly cares about their patients and delivers excellent results, this is the place. I highly recommend them to anyone who wants top-notch dental care in a welcoming environment.”

I had a great experience and left feeling like I understood the health of my teeth and gums. They laid out the treatment process in a way I could plan around and provided what would be out of pocket and what is covered by insurance.

Dr. Bender was very professional and understanding. Teeth can be a sensitive topic, especially because I don't feel great about the state of mine. He made it lighthearted while maintaining a clear plan, and I am happy to have found someone that can get me on the right track!

Excellent care. Cheyenne, who handled my appointment, was lovely. Dr. Bender's assistant, Rita, was fantastic and ensured I was comfortable. I've sat in more than one hundred dental chairs, and without a doubt, Dr. Bender was present, knowledgeable, easy to speak to, and knew exactly what I needed. As a patient with PTSD from a dental procedure that turned my life upside down, there was no anxiety, and I felt safe. I would recommend this practice to everyone who requires dental care with compassion.

Dr. Bender and his staff were very friendly, empathetic, and helpful with finding the issues with my teeth and I look forward to working with them.

Dr. Bender and the staff at Branin are exceptional! I have never had such a pleasant dental experience and the office, staff and Dr. are top notch! Dr. Bender is an expert at getting a patient numb with the smallest amount of medicine. I got to watch a cooking show while getting a root canal and fillings replaced!! I was fine a couple hours later and I now know, there is no other dentist for me! Thank you Dr Bender for your professionalism and care as a dentist.

He makes me feel relaxed, I am always so nervous around dentists but this is a great experience. He seems so "normal" or down to earth as compared to other dentists!

I would highly recommend Dr. Bender, he was friendly and answered my questions, professional bedside manner and took the time I needed. Loved the up to date equipment in the office, modern technology. Helpful staff.

As someone who does not like the dentist, I couldn’t have asked for a better or more comfortable experience. Everyone was so wonderful and friendly.

Great Experience, High Tech, Very Friendly and Sound Advice. I had a tricky dual coverage insurance situation with a tight time frame. Lois and the doctors were able to work out a great plan to substantially decrease my out of pocket and get me taken care of. I would highly recommend this team to anyone looking for great dental care.

Staff was extremely friendly and very informative. They worked with me on my changing schedule and made sure I knew every step.
Lois is especially wonderful!
May 15, 2024Savanna L.Verified patient
I was seen almost immediately, all the staff were very nice and I felt comfortable even though I was anxious after not having been to the dentist in a while! Dr. Bender communicated very well, was efficient but also took his time to make sure I was taken care of. Would definitely recommend.
