Dr. Safrit along with his wife, Lisa, and their two boys, Bryce and Brant, settled in Greer following dental school in 2005 in the Sugar Creek development. Dr. Safrit and Lisa grew up between Concord and Salisbury, NC, north of Charlotte, where they were high school sweethearts. They married in 1993 and lived in Raleigh for ten years, where both boys were born.

Rob enjoys giving back to help others through mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Guatemala as well as locally through participating in Dentistry from the Heart and the Greenville Free Medical Clinic. Dr. Safrits son, Bryces Eagle Scout project was the first Dentistry from the Heart event FDH sponsored.

Dr. Mike Twitchell, also known as Twitch, moved to the Greenville area with his family in 1988. He attended Pelham Road Elementary, Northwood Middle, and Eastside High Schools (Class of 1998). While growing up, Mike was active in Northwood Little League and in Boy Scouts Troop 266 based out of St. Giles Presbyterian Church on Hudson Road. Twitch earned his Eagle Scout award in 1994.

He attended Clemson University from 1998-2002 where he earned an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chemistry. He graduated in 2002 and immediately began dental school in Charleston, SC at the Medical University of South Carolina. While there, he participated in numerous research projects in the dental materials field. He graduated with his Doctorate of Dental Medicine in 2006.

Mike met Rob Safrit in 2002 while in dental school Rob was one class ahead of him. They became friends during their shared time at school. The early concepts of Family Dental Health began in conversations over dinner while in dental school both Rob and Mike found they liked differing, but complementary aspects of dentistry.

Over time, Mikes role at Family Dental Health has shifted from full time patient care (2006-2015) to full time operations management (2015-present). He manages from the trenches by spending most days in various practices working with doctors on their clinical objectives and career goals while keeping abreast of new opportunities for advancing patient care.

Dr. Twitchell met his wife Ashley, through her brother, Bryan, while they were in Boy Scouts together. Ashley and Mike were married in 2006 and currently live in Sugar Creek with their daughter Claire and their dachshund Roxie.

Twitch enjoys board and video games, reading, and teaching. He names his late mother, Ann Twitchell, a former teacher at both Northwood and Mauldin Middle Schools and his father, Michael Ray Twitchell, a retired project manager for Fluor Daniel, as people who have greatly influenced his life.

Shea M. Tolbert was born in North Carolina at Cherry Point Marine Corp Base, where his father was serving in the military. Most of his childhood was spent in Lenoir, NC. He later moved to South Carolina where he graduated from Easley High School.

Dr. Tolbert attended Clemson University where he was part of the Honors College and earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston. While at MUSC, he was presented with the American Academy of Implant Dentistry award for exhibiting the greatest interest, knowledge, and proficiency in the field of surgical and restorative implant dentistry.

Subsequently, Dr. Tolbert completed the prestigious University of Florida Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program. This residency works closely with internationally renowned training programs, including The Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Studies and The Pankey Institute. He continues his passion for dentistry yearly by completing numerous hours of advanced continuing education courses in general practice and specialty procedures.

Dr. Tolbert is a faculty member of the Medical University of South Carolina where he helps train dental students rotating through the Greenville Free Medical Clinic. Also, he volunteers at Dentistry from the Heart FDH sponsored events.

While attending Clemson University, he met his wife, Jennifer Hoeben Tolbert. They married in March of 2007. Jennifer is a graduate of Seneca High School and Clemson University as well. She has been a choreographer for local dance studios, pageant coach, model and talent scout, and is the former official choreographer of the Teen, Miss and Mrs. All-Star United States pageants. His mother and stepfather reside in Greenville, SC. Sheryl, his mother, works at Patewood Hospital in Greenville. Steve, his stepfather, manages BMW of Asheville, NC.

In December of 2010, Dr. Tolbert and his wife had their daughter, Cayman, and in May of 2014, their son, Cohen, was born. In their free time, Shea and Jennifer enjoy attending Clemson sporting events, golf, travel, and spending time with friends and family.

I would recommend Family Dental Health to any one. My experience was amazing. The hygienist, Kris, was informative and all around enjoyable to be with while having my teeth cleaned. Dr. Benfield was also amazing! So professional and welcoming. They were both very helpful and efficient during my visit!

Dr. Benfield did a fantastic job. Lin was super as was Tonia and the Crown she made. I have had several crowns by multiple Dentists in my life and I can honestly say this was by far the BEST experience I've had having a crown put in. Also, during our initial visit for cleaning & X-Rays our Hygienist Courtney did a great job as well. Everyone I've interacted with here have been great and all seem to have fun and love their jobs. That to me as a customer is important.

Had a great visit. Getting two crowns side by side, but it all went very well. Christy and Dr. Blomquist did a great job.

They are pretty normal for cleanings. My issue is that I had a crown put on just before I moved and it turned out terrible. I can't put any pressure on the tooth without extreme pain. Its been 2 months and its still extremely sensitive to heat and cold. Before the crown I was told my tooth was cracked even though I felt no pain in the tooth. I've tried multiple times to get an appointment to get it looked at even though I would have to drive 8 hours to see the dentist. I still don't have an appointment and the clinic isn't helping. I don't get to speak to the dentist, Dr. Benfield (comes in at 12 each day) and can only talk to dental techs. I feel like my tooth has been ruined and I'll probably need a root canal to relieve the pain, unfortunately my insurance only covers one crown every 5 years. I'd shop around if you need any dental work done aside from a cleaning.
