I was the patient of Dr. Benson in his California Office. I had the most horrible and humiliating experience with Dr. Benson, based on which I believe that as a doctor he may be very dangerous. So far he is the worst man I interacted in my life, who brought the most damaging impact to my life, charged lots of money for it (17,000$), put my life in distress for years, sold me the treatment I did not ask for, made severe changes to my bite for worse, even though I had no complaints about my bite and had no clear understanding on why he is doing it in the first place - all I needed were the new crowns. His claim was that he is specially trained to change the "bad" bite to the right occlusion. Later on I learned that all those teachings are very questionable, highly unpredictable and should be avoided until absolutely necessary, like when the patient is already in pain or suffering with big discomfort already. No dental universities teach such occlusion theories, not in US, not in Europe, besides there are different "advanced learning schools" on occlusion who cannot even agree with each other. I consulted with several well known prosthodontists in US and they all said that my case if very common once the patient is being treated by so called occlusal specialists like Dr. Benson, Apparently, dentist who was President at American College of Prosthodontists stands strongly against this type of -post- educations and he himself is afraid to make even small changes to the bite with a single filling, yet Dr. Benson acted very ego-over-confidently as he is only among 2% percent of dentists who are "trained" to do it, and could just change whole bite, and then did not reverse it for a year, despite my constant complaint that those new changes are very uncomfortable to me. I finally had to leave him in a complete frustration. Shockingly, new dentists addressed the issue in the first week, and within several months I had new crowns. Benson did not even apologize, nor had a grace to return the fees he charged. Beware! There are a lot of things which went horribly wrong while working with him, it would take hours just to write it down, but feel free to reach me out if you are in similar situation or interested in more details.

First time going there….I was looking for a change...By the time I was done with my cleaning, they wanted to replace all of my old silver fillings, do 1 to 3 crowns and do fillings on teeth that were not necessary. They didnt even see x-rays. I got a second opinion from my original dentist who said all except 2 were not necessary. I am disappointed in them. Going to a dentist is like getting your car fixed…you need honesty and hope they dont bleed your pockets dry because you have no clue…"they" may think they wanted the best for me but I was in shock when I left…get a second opinion and dont do unnecessary work! I really dont like doing negative comments anywhere…I feel bad…but in this case..I felt it was necessary to share.. :(

I havent been able to chew on my left side since I had a filling done somewhere else roughly a year ago so I went here and they fixed it! Couldnt be happier. I always thought I could never go back to normal chewing and I have no issues now. Amazing job!!! My new primary dentist!!!
