Theresa’s Story: A Positive Patient Experience

I highly recommend visiting Grand Dental and Dr. Benefield. The staff and Dr. Benefield are truly wonderful. I’ve never received care like this anywhere else—everyone is warm, friendly, compassionate, and genuine. You feel like a real person here, not just a name on a schedule.

Good health often begins with your teeth. If you have healthy teeth and gums, they serve as a first line of defense against many bacteria. I underwent a gum graft procedure because I had brushed too hard and damaged my gums. Dr. Benefield took tissue from the roof of my mouth and grafted it onto the affected area. I’ve had this procedure done twice before, and his approach was by far the least painful.

Dr. Benefield is both fun and quirky, yet also incredibly compassionate and attentive. He checks in on patients after procedures to ensure they’re feeling okay and have everything they need. The entire team is friendly, they remember you, and they’re always helpful, warm, and genuine.

Specialized Care: Gum Grafting with Dr. Benefield

When it comes to finding the right dental care, the decision is about more than cleanings and procedures—it’s about feeling valued and genuinely cared for. Grand Dental, led by Dr. Eric Benefield in Grand Junction, CO, has built its reputation on exactly that: personalized, patient-centered care that stands out. For those looking for a dentist who combines professional expertise with a compassionate approach, Dr. Benefield and his team at Grand Dental have become the go-to choice for a reason.

The Grand Dental Difference: Warm, Personalized Care

Grand Dental isn’t just a place to get your teeth cleaned. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice the difference. Dr. Benefield and his team create a warm, friendly environment where patients feel like individuals, not just names on a schedule. Each visit begins with genuine interactions that let you know you’re being cared for by people who remember your name, your story, and even the little details about your life. For people who might feel nervous about visiting the dentist, this warm atmosphere helps ease any anxieties.

Dr. Benefield understands that dental care can be intimidating for some, especially when it involves complex procedures. That’s why he makes comfort a priority, taking the time to explain procedures and answer any questions. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or a more involved treatment, you can expect a caring approach focused on your comfort and well-being.

Why Oral Health Is Essential

At Grand Dental, Dr. Benefield and his team believe that good oral health is the foundation for overall well-being. Healthy teeth and gums protect the body from bacteria and infection that can lead to more serious health issues. From routine cleanings and exams to preventive treatments, Grand Dental emphasizes the importance of keeping your mouth healthy as part of maintaining your overall health.

The team provides guidance on the best ways to care for your teeth at home, including brushing techniques, flossing tips, and recommendations for products that suit your individual needs. By focusing on prevention, they help patients avoid bigger issues down the road, like gum disease and tooth decay.

Specialized Care: Gum Grafting with Dr. Benefield

Dr. Benefield offers gum grafting, a specialized procedure that helps protect teeth and restore gums. Gum recession, often caused by brushing too hard, genetics, or gum disease, can leave the roots of your teeth exposed and lead to increased sensitivity and decay. Gum grafting involves taking a small piece of tissue, usually from the roof of the mouth, and using it to cover the affected area. This procedure strengthens the gums and protects the teeth, often resulting in a healthier, more confident smile.

While gum grafting might sound daunting, Dr. Benefield’s patients often find the procedure to be much less uncomfortable than they expected. His gentle approach and commitment to patient comfort mean that many people who have undergone the procedure at Grand Dental report minimal pain and an easier recovery than anticipated. Patients appreciate Dr. Benefield’s thorough follow-up care, as he checks in to make sure everything is healing well and that they have all the support they need.

Theresa’s Story: A Positive Patient Experience

Patients like Theresa, who have experienced Dr. Benefield’s approach to dental care, often share stories of how he and the team at Grand Dental make a difference in their lives. Theresa came to Dr. Benefield for gum grafting, a procedure she had previously undergone twice at other practices. Her experience at Grand Dental, however, was noticeably different. Not only was the procedure less painful than her past experiences, but Dr. Benefield’s compassionate care and follow-up also made her feel genuinely valued.

Theresa’s story highlights what many other patients at Grand Dental have found: the level of care, comfort, and compassion at this practice is exceptional. Dr. Benefield’s approach can turn a potentially intimidating procedure into a positive experience, giving everyone confidence in both their dental health and their choice of dentist.

The Power of a Healthy Smile

Grand Dental believes that a healthy smile is a gateway to overall well-being. Beyond enhancing confidence, a healthy mouth plays a critical role in protecting the body from infection and disease. Routine dental care is an investment not only in oral health but also in lifelong health. Dr. Benefield and his team emphasize preventive care to help patients maintain their smiles and reduce the risk of future complications.

Featured Testimonials

 

“I chose Dr. Benefield after researching dentists in Grand Junction following a move from Arizona. I needed extensive work, including implants and a bridge. We discussed the cost and the time frame (about a year). After an exam, he quoted me a price for the total package. I could not have made a better choice. The whole staff are super careful about the pandemic, as well as very caring and professional. Dr. Benefield, (known in the office as ‘Dr Eric’), has worked diligently with me for the past 8 months and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He obviously enjoys what he does and makes every effort to make it as painless as possible.” ~ Jean
