Having the ability to change a persons smile, and thus change their life, is a tremendous privilege. A smile is the first thing we notice when meeting someone and makes a lasting first impression. Its important to have straight, healthy teeth for a smile thats filled with confidence. Im fortunate in that I get to be part of making these smiles happen every day!

I love working with people: my patients, their families, my incredible team, our community, and now my oldest son, Dr. Jarred. My patients are important to me as people. I love getting to know them on a personal level, learning about their hobbies, interests, and passions. If my patient is young, I get to watch them grow up and cheer their accomplishments. If theyre older, we connect in a different way and I celebrate who they are in our community.

I work with an outstanding group of people who make each day a delight. They understand the importance of catering to our patients needs and comfort, making sure that each patient feels valued and part of our family. When people come to our office, theyre not numbers: theyre friends and we treat them as such.

Each year I complete many hours of continuing education, concentrating on advancements in orthodontics and oral healthcare. Ive extensively studied new approaches to cosmetic treatment and accelerated forms of orthodontics, along with Invisalign aligner treatment.

Todays technologies and new approaches to care ensure more comfortable, effective treatment and amazing results. Through continuing education courses, and participation in lectures and seminars, I stay current on new options.

I grew up in Winchester, TN, and now call Lebanon my home. I was lucky to marry my high school sweetheart, Katie, back in 1981. We met in a band when in HS and have been together ever since. We have two sons: Jarred, our oldest, is an orthodontist and has joined me in the practice. Our youngest son, Josh, lives and works in Nashville; we enjoy cycling and spending time together.

Outside the office, I enjoy boating, snow and water skiing, hiking, and traveling, especially exploring our beautiful National Parks! I enjoy reading about the early history of our country, too, especially biographies of our founding fathers.

Orthodontics is much more than straightening teeth and aligning bites. Its about changing lives, one person at a time. Every day I get to meet new people and start to build connections with them and have time with others who I already know, as we strengthen our rapport. I talk and laugh with people, enjoying their unique stories and perspectives. I hear about their friends and kids, their pets and adventures, whats happening at school and work, and whats important to them. These conversations keep me engaged and excited about coming to work each morning!

My day is made, professionally and personally, when I talk with a former patient and they tell me the difference their new smile has made in their life. When they talk about feeling confident in their appearance, and how thats led to a new job opportunity, a changed outlook on dating, a greater comfort in talking with others: all of those moments are because of what weve achieved, together!

At Benson Orthodontics, our team is the reason for our success! Each person truly cares about each and every single one of our patients. We not only care about their orthodontic needs and dental health, but we care about them as a person. We work hard to build lifetimes of friendships while creating lifetimes of smiles!

  • Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Master of Dental Science, Post-graduate Residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, University of Colorado Anshutz Medical Campus in Aurora, CO
  • Orthodontics is a constantly evolving specialty. Changes in methodologies, along with new technologies and materials, all happen at a rapid speed. As an orthodontist, I owe it to my patients and my profession to stay current on the developments.

    Through continuing education courses, taken locally, regionally, and nationally, I learn from the leading researchers and practitioners in the field. I also attend seminars and lectures, participate in a study club, and avidly study peer-reviewed publications in different oral healthcare journals. This allows me to provide the best clinical care and positive treatment experience to each patient.

    I grew up right here in Wilson County and returned to Lebanon after finishing my post-doc studies and orthodontics residency. My wife Kelly, who makes me whole, and I married in 2011. We have twobeautiful daughters, Hailey and Kinsley,who meanthe absolute world to us. We are so blessed to have themin our lives.

    My daughter had some issues with her braces where her wire came out of the bracket and was poking her gum... Jessica was on call and came in tonight to fix kaileys wire and spring that was hurting her. Thanks so much! This is the first time we have had to use the emergency line and we greatly appreciate her coming in and fixing it for her.

    The staff is always so friendly and professional! We were able to schedule an appt and be seen quickly. Dr. J talked directly to my son which I really appreciated. He then took the time to explain his findings and recommendations to me. Ashley was awesome! She made his retainers immediately and maintained such a positive demeanor. My daughter is also in braces at this office and I have had nothing but positive experiences!

    I am just so impressed with this office! This is our second orthodontist experience because my oldest had her first round of braces in our previous state. Now it's my son's turn for his first round and I'm so glad we have the option of Benson Orthodontics now that we are in TN! We had NO IDEA just how terrible our previous orthodontist was until we started treatment here. We have felt welcome from the moment we called to make our first appointment. Everyone is so friendly. Dr. Benson was very informative when explaining the treatment my son would need, and Rhonda is fantastic at explaining and working with you to figure out the financial aspect of it all. The welcoming environment is just the tip of the iceberg. We were greeted with a front row parking spot marked with my son's name and balloons for his first appointment, which made him feel a little less nervous. The young lady who placed his brackets and wires talked him through what she was doing, while she was doing it, so he wasn't so anxious. I love that I'm able to sit in the treatment area with him and that they have a brushing station and video games nearby, so I don't have to worry about making sure he brushes at school before his appointment if we don't have time. At our previous orthodontist, we felt like we were being herded through like cattle and never felt welcome. I love that at Dr. Benson's office, they have incentives for the patients to take good care of their braces. Being rewarded for such tedious, not-so-fun tasks is fantastic for a 9 year old! Another thing that I thought was great, was the bag full of items they send home with you to help in caring for your new mouth full of metal. They gave us wax, floss, flossers, a new waterpik, toothbrush, toothpaste, a Benson tee, a guide with a list of what my child should avoid eating, etc. and a really great laminated placard to stick to his bathroom mirror that has real photos of how it looks to properly brush and clean braces, with instructions. It also has photos of what broken wires and other problems look like, so he can stay aware if something doesn't feel right in his mouth. AND to top it all off, Dr. Benson, himself, not an assistant or other member of his staff, called the first night after getting the braces placed, to check on my son. I've NEVER experienced the level of patient care provided at this office. Which is very depressing given the amount of money we gave the previous office for my daughter's care. Also, I can't end this review without mentioning the coffee station in the lobby and fresh, soft cookies on the front counter for you on your way out. My son actually WANTS to go to the orthodontist. I can't wait until they start treating my daughter for her final round of treatment as well, because I feel like she missed out on a better experience by not having Benson Orthodontics as an option. I even apologized to her for it.
