Associate Dentist
Dr Benjamin Smith.
If going to the dentist makes your stomach tighten, Ben is the person you want in the chair with you. Calm, patient, and genuinely unhurried — he has a way of making even the most nervous visitors feel completely at ease.
Ben’s story
Ben became a dentist for a simple reason: he wanted a career where he could make a real, positive difference in people’s day. Not the abstract kind of difference — the practical kind, where someone walks in anxious and walks out relieved.
After graduating from Griffith University, he has built his practice around careful explanation and preventive care. Ben believes most dental problems are easier to prevent than to fix, and he puts real effort into helping patients understand their options so they can make decisions they feel good about.
What he is best known for around the practice is his calm. Patients who have avoided the dentist for years often book with Ben specifically because he never rushes and never makes you feel silly for being nervous. He has a quiet confidence that settles the whole room.
Where Ben shines
Clinical focus
General dentistry
Check-ups, cleans, fillings, crowns, extractions. Ben covers the full breadth of general dentistry with the kind of thoroughness that catches small issues early.
Nervous patients
If you have been putting off the dentist because of anxiety, Ben is the person you want. He explains every step, goes slowly, and never makes you feel judged for taking your time.
Preventive care
Ben’s philosophy: the best dental treatment is the one you never needed. He focuses on education, habits, and early intervention over reactive fixes.
Outside the practice
Ben at home
Ben lives locally with his wife Lexi and their two kids. On the weekend you will usually find him fishing or looking after his fish tanks — he has a genuine passion for fishkeeping. If you end up booking with him, ask him about it. He lights up.
