Offering a Premier Patient Experience with State-of-the-art Technology at Richmond Endodontics
At Richmond Endodontics, Benjamin brings a wide range of advanced dental technology into routine patient care. To ensure precision and improved clinical outcomes, he utilizes equipment such as the Zeiss PROergo surgical microscope for endodontic procedures. He was also among the first dental professionals in Indiana to adopt GentleWave®, a minimally invasive method for root canal therapy. Having performed over 8,000 GentleWave procedures, his use of this system enables better cleaning and healing with reduced post-treatment discomfort.
Benjamin consistently uses EdgePro™ Laser Disinfection in 100% of cases to maximize the effectiveness of root canal treatments. For anesthesia delivery, he incorporates the WAND/STA and X-Tip intraosseous systems. These methods offer greater control, less pain, and faster numbing than traditional injections. He holds certifications in the GentleWave®, EdgePro™ Laser, WAND/STA, and X-Tip systems. His practice is among the few in Indiana that combines all three technologies for optimal patient outcomes.
