Dr. Sutter has always believed that high-quality dentistry can do much more than simply give someone an attractive smile. Thanks to his decades of experience and dedication to only using the latest technology, hes able to find, diagnose, solve, and even prevent many problems that most general dental offices will never notice. This helps his patients not only enjoy beautiful esthetics, but achieve healthy, functional smiles that are free of chronic pain, improving their oral and overall health at the same time.
For Beautiful Smiles probably has a few instruments you have never heard of before, including a multiwave locked laser, jaw vibration analysis, T-scan, and much more. This technology allows Dr. Sutter to measure a multitude of things that other dentists cannot, enabling him to provide treatment that actually improves how a person masticates (chews food). This can dramatically increase the longevity of the teeth and dental restorations as well as put a stop to the root cause of persistent jaw and head pain.
In addition to examining your teeth and gums when you come to see Dr. Sutter for a checkup, he will also look at your jaw, the alignment of your bite, and evaluate how these relate to the muscles of your face and mouth to ensure that everything is working as it should. This gives him a more accurate picture of someones oral health so that he is able to spot issues quickly and stop many from ever occurring in the first place.
Dr. Sutter is considered to be a leading expert in the field of TMJ/TMD therapy, which focuses on the treatment of conditions that cause dysfunction in the jaw joint that can lead to persistent jaw pain and headaches. His approach to screening and treating patients is emulated by dentists around the world, and he frequently speaks at conferences to share his expertise. Particularly, he is a respected provider of DTR (Disclusion Time Reduction) therapy, which serves to alter the bite in a way that allows the muscles of the jaw, face, and head to naturally relax, heal, and experience lasting relief.
We are proud of our patient-centered treatment approach at our dental office, and to ensure youre as comfortable as possible at every visit, our dental office features the following comforts and amenities:
Many of the patients that come to visit Dr. Sutter are in various stages of chronic pain, and in need of a procedure. To help during an already challenging time, our dental office has partnered with the folks at A Visitor's Haven. A few miles down the road from our dental office, A Visitor's Haven hosts accommodations for dental patients, providing a bit more care and amenities than you might expect at a normal hotel including a stocked cupboard! This is a great resource for our patients and we're proud to recommend a place to rest during your care with Dr. Sutter and team. For more details, check out the link below!
Dr. Sutter completed his dental doctorate at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in 2005, followed by a General Practice Residency at Overlook Hospital in New Jersey. After purchasing his own practice, he developed a unique interest in occlusion and TMD pain and decided to devote time to developing that clinical skillset the rest is history! Today, he has a very successful practice that patients all over the USA seek out for help with their chronic pain. He is also the accomplished author of dozens of articles explaining various improvements from treating patients with state-of-the-art DTR therapy, regularly lectures on the topic around the world, and has even helped certify other dentists who want to perform the type of care he does.
Dr. Sutter has been married to the love of his life Shelly for over two decades, and they have a teenage daughter. Outside of dentistry, some of his biggest passions include hiking, visiting national parks (hes been to 37 so far out of 63) and practicing landscape photography in fact, he has an Instagram where you can see his work! As a hiker and traveler, he loves to seek out beautiful compositions wherever he goes.

Dr. Ben Sutter and his team are wonderful!! Dr. Sutter was recommended to us by our pediatrician as our 2-month-old son had an upper lip tie. The administration team was very accommodating and was able to get us in to see Dr. Sutter quickly. During our consultation, Dr. Sutter found that our son also had a tongue tie as well. This was contributing to poor and painful nursing. Dr. Sutter used a laser to perform the procedure. My wife and I were nervous, but Dr. Sutter could not have been any better. The procedure took about 3 minutes from start to finish and there was no blood, swelling, or discomfort (that we could sense) from our son after the procedure. Parents are not allowed back in the room with the laser for safety, but by the time Dr. Sutter returned with our son, he was asleep and peaceful. Our son now nurses much more efficiently and without causing pain. If you are a parent that has a child with a tongue and/or lip tie, I would 100% recommend Dr. Sutter and his team.

We saw Dr. Sutter recently for a lip and tongue tie revision for my baby. He got us in quickly, and the procedure only took a moment. My baby had feeding and weight gain issues before the revision and now he's eating well and gaining weight like crazy! Highly recommend Dr. Sutter and his kind and friendly staff!

Dr. Sutter and his fun and dynamic team performed a tongue and lip tie procedure on our 1 month old daughter recently. Prior to the procedure he did a phenomenal job of explaining in detail what they would do for her. He and his assistant were very thorough and helped us understand everything there was to know about what he would do, and how to help our little girl weeks after the procedure. It was nice and quick, they were all EVER so sweet, friendly, and professional at his clinic. We came back and had a check-up and again, everyone was incredibly kind and helpful. Our daughter was in excellent hands amd is doing so well, because of their amazing team and atmosphere! Thank you so much for everything! My wife and I, HIGHLY recommend you go to Dr. Ben Sutter's clinic!! :)

Dr. Sutter is a true innovator and a true hero to people who have Meniere's disease! He cured me of a disease that every other doctor who told me there is no cure. I owe this man my life, without his treatment my life was just existing not living. If you have Meniere's disease please at least talk to this doctor he can help you because there are no other doctors out there who will do what he can do. If I could I'd give you 10 stars that's how good this doctor is. Thank you again Dr. sutter for everything you've done for me.

We saw Dr. Sutter for lip and tongue tie revisions in both of my children recently. Dr. Sutter did an excellent job and made sure to answer any questions and concerns that I had. I was very nervous about both procedures, but was reassured both times and had a great experience. Both of my children had trouble with reflux and latching before the revision, and both problems were resolved afterward. The rest of the staff at the office are all very welcoming and extremely helpful!

Over the past few months, Dr. Ben Sutter, DMD and his magnificent assistant Ashley, EFDA, have been assisting me and my oral hygiene. They have completely restored my confidence in my smile and health to my gums and teeth. They are wilfully flexible and do everything they can to make you feel as comfortable as possible. Their time management skills go above and beyond, completing extensive, clean work in short amounts of time. They hold true to thier name "Beautiful Smiles".

I wish I could give Dr. Sutter a 20 star review. He is by far the best doctor/dentist I've ever seen! First off he is extremely intelligent and explains everything, so the patient can understand. He explains the theology of his DTR practice and how it can effect the entire body. I will gladly fly from Texas to Oregon to come see him monthly. He has helped me more in the 6 visits I've seen him, then the last 9 years, that I've seen all my specialists combined. I had a severe head injury/concussion in 2013. I started having excruciating nerve pain in my head called occipital neuralgia. It was so debilitating that I couldn't work. Then in March of 2019 I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia and it was done to me by a dentist in San Antonio, Texas, I was seeing for GNM dentistry. My excruciating pain started after a simple filling. Trigeminal neuralgia is known as the suicide disease, as it is the worst known pain to man. It felt like I was being electrocuted in my face constantly. It was so bad I couldn't talk, eat, drink or even walk some days. I have tried nerve blocks, medial branch blocks, trigger point injections, botox, dry needling, acupuncture, cranial sacral therapy, neuromuscular dentistry, over 25 different medications and physical therapy for 2 years 3 times a week. I also was seeing an upper cervical chiropractor in San Antonio for 3 1/2 years, 3 times a week and never got out of pain. Dr. Sutter has been able to take away the excruciating electrical shocks in my face and has help my head pain immensely. He has done what 30 plus doctors couldn't do over a span of 9 years. I will be forever indebted to him, as I never thought I could live a normal life without excruciating pain 24/7. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Sutter to everyone. Don't hesitate to see him as you're in the best hands. He truly cares about his patients and his goal is to make you feel better, you're not just another number with him. I feel better now then I ever have, since my concussion in 2013. Dr. Sutter is truly an angel on earth, he soul handily saved my life and I can't ever repay him for that!

I can't recommend Dr. Sutter enough! We initially set up the appointment to get a lip tie corrected. After Dr. Sutter examined my daughter he also found she had a tongue tie that had been missed at the hospital. So at 12 days old she was able to get her lip and tongue tie fixed. He explained exactly what they would be doing and the benefits of it getting fixed. It took less then 5 minutes for the laser surgery and She was back in my arms. He then showed us where exactly they fixed it and what it looked liked and what it would look like in the days to follow. We went over the exercises we needed to do to help it all heal properly. I noticed a difference in our feedings right away. She latched on so much better and swallowed less air durning our feeds. Which in return made her less fussy. She still has her moments of going back to the the way she was feeding but we are getting better and better every day. I will say the sooner you can get the surgery done then better off you and your baby will be. It does take some retraining to get them to realize what they are able to do now. If you are on the fence about reaching out to him, don't be, he is super honest and upfront if the surgery is necessary or not. I can't thank Dr. Sutter enough for helping us.

Dr Sutter took over the dental practice from my former dentist, Dr Vodvarka who had been my dentist for over 20 years. For awhile, both Dr's shared the practice and I found Dr Sutter to be as good or better at taking care of my dental health. He was very congenial and professional, a great dentist! After a year or so, Dr Vodvarka retired and Dr Sutter became my primary dentist. I found his gentle and careful manner to be relaxing, careful, and professional. My dental health has continued to remain excellent, especially as I am now 76 years old and still have my original teeth. Dr Sutter has replaced some old crowns for me, done a necessary filling, a new crown, and referred me to an orthodontist for a bridge, which his excellent staff have kept cleaned, along with my regular dental hygiene treatments. His staff are courteous and helpful. I also can't say enough good things about Dr Sutter's hygienist, Darcy, who has done an excellent job keeping my dental hygiene well maintained and together they are the reason I still have my natural teeth still in good condition! Dr Sutter and his staff are the best dental team in the country as far as I am concerned! Thank you to Tamara, Darcy, Dr Sutter and all the rest of their staff! Sincerely, -Rich Richard F. Hadley Springfield, OR 97478

My experience at For Beautiful Smiles was very positive. Everyone in the office was warm & kind. They made every effort to reach out to my insurance & explain the coverage to me. They were able to take care of my broken tooth right away. I have a lot of dental anxiety, & I felt about as comfortable as I could here.

Great experience and I highly recommend going to Dr. Ben Sutter. I'm a new patient and am so happy I found them, each and every staff member from the moment I walked in the door made me feel welcome and comfortable. He is knowledgeable, so gentle and I was reassured throughout the process of starting 2 crowns. Dr. Sutter and his assistant, Ashley, explained each step before during and after the procedure. Thank you team Sutter.

Dr. Sutter and his team are absolutely amazing! They all truly care about their patients. I drive about five and a half hours each way for my appointments with Dr. Sutter. Tonight he personally called me to let me know how bad the weather is in Eugene right now so we could reschedule. That is a great guy right there. I highly recommend going to him.

Thank you Dr. Ben Sutter for getting the most advanced machine to clean my teeth. Compared to the old scaling that we were forced to use during the COVID 19 restrictions at the beginning of this year. Having my favorite dental hygienist Darci quickly and professionally clean my teeth always puts my mind at ease. Thanks for respecting my time and making a welcoming environment.

I've had both of my sons tongue tie issues addressed with Dr Ben Sutter and his team. The first was 5 weeks old and my second was 4 and a half months old. Both babies had difficulty nursing and painful reflux. Within a week of the procedures I had two much happier babies/much happier households! I can't recommend the consultation enough to anyone struggling with breastfeeding as i had multiple pediatricians say both kids were not tongue tied "enough" to cause problems. But we experienced difficulty getting a good latch, frustration from baby when nursing, my "older" baby could not sleep long stretches at night because he was never full, and on and on and on. It was a game changer for us. Dr Ben Sutter and his team made us feel so comfortable handing over our precious babies to them and the front desk staff welcomed us like old friends. It was a fantastic experience all around for all involved.
