out of Read Reviews for Dr. Ben Banks
26 October 2015
Since childhood, I have been seen by several dentists because I grew up having not-so-good teeth. Dr. Banks has been my dentist for close to 20 years now and when I came to
him, there were several fillings and gold crowns requiring work I also had been diagnosed with bruxism and my teeth were worn down due to this. He has taken very good care of my remaining teeth and saved several from extraction. He is quite aware of my dislike of visiting the dentist and he and his office staff have made every effort to make me feel at ease despite the work done.
Dr. Banks is quite compassionate and does excellent work. One thing that I particularly
like is that he does not try to force me to have the work done. He simply states what he
feels is the most prudent, conservative and cost-effective treatment that is required on a
tooth. He explains the options that I have and what I might expect. Then it is left to me
to decide if that is the treatment that I want to have done.
For procedures that are beyond his scope of practice, he readily refers me to a specialist.
Not all dentists are willing to do this; however, even when it would be in the patient’s best interest and be the most comfortable. I appreciate this immensely. Just recently, an
extraction was required on a molar that I had. While Dr. Banks could have removed the
tooth himself, he referred me to an oral surgeon, which, was the best option. I know that
a lot of general dentists would have attempted the extraction themselves.
Would I recommend Dr. Banks and his staff to a friend, relative or colleague? For sure
I would and have already done so. If you are like me and dislike going to the dentist, then I feel that Dr. Banks is the type of person that you would benefit from for your
dentist.

Ben is an accomplished Dentist. Did a superior job of caring for my teeth when I had very limited funds to place into dental care because of growing family. Staff of Kay and Patsy are very friendly and consistant. Office location in old home is very pleasant. I have had fillings and crowns with great success. Twice a year cleaning with dental assistant Janet are super. I would refer and recommend to all my family and friends.
