Services
Preventive Dentistry
Our preventive services include biannual exams, professional cleanings, oral cancer screenings, and fluoride treatments to maintain optimal oral health. We emphasize early detection of issues like cavities and gum disease through digital X-rays and personalized hygiene education. Patients receive tailored homecare guidance to prevent decay and ensure long-term dental wellness for all ages.
Cosmetic Dentistry
We offer teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, bonding, and tooth-colored fillings to improve smile aesthetics. Our treatments address discoloration, chips, gaps, and misshapen teeth while maintaining natural functionality. Using advanced materials and techniques, we create customized smile transformations that boost confidence and complement facial features.
Dental Implants
We restore single and multiple missing teeth with implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures for permanent, natural-looking solutions. Our process involves collaboration with oral surgeons to ensure proper integration and long-term success. Implants preserve jawbone health and provide stable, comfortable alternatives to traditional prosthetics.
Periodontal Dentistry
We diagnose and manage gum disease through scaling, root planing, and maintenance programs to prevent tooth loss. Our team addresses risk factors like tobacco use and systemic conditions while monitoring disease progression. Early intervention helps maintain supporting structures and overall systemic health.
TMJ Disorder
Dr. Ben Thompson specializes in treating TMJ-related pain through occlusal analysis, night guards, and bite adjustments. We address symptoms like headaches, jaw clicking, and facial pain caused by misalignment or stress. Custom appliances and targeted therapies help restore comfortable jaw function and prevent long-term damage.

Best Dentists in Raleigh! You get the benefit of a team's expertise vs. a single doctor. They have been taking care of my family for 15+ years and in addition to being very professional, they and all their staff seem to really care about us. If we are suffering with a dental problem, they handle the issue immediately. Trustworthy and kind, you cannot go wrong with Dr.'s Ben and Susan caring for your dental health.

I loved my experience with them and will continue my care with them. I like that they are non-judgmental, ask you about your goals and concerns with your teeth, and they do not push unnecessary procedures on to you. They explain what they are about to do and why and make sure all of your questions are answered. They go through your x-rays with you and make sure you understand what is on the screen. They point out anything that may be a concern and why and what can be done to fix it. The staff are very competent and equipped to help the doctor. They seemed to have good relationships with their
