ABOUT US
In 1966, Dr. Ben Smith, Jr., affectionately known as “Big Ben” established Smith Dentistry, after two years of dental service in the Navy. His warm sense of humor and gentle care helped him grow his modest family dentistry practice quickly.
Dr. Smith’s son, “Little Ben,” started helping out his father’s practice at an early age. However, he didn’t always want to follow in his father’s footsteps, having also picked up “Big Ben’s” love of Gulfstream fishing. After three years or working as a mate on a swordfishing boat, that seed of dentistry took root, leading him to pursue his Doctor of Dentistry.
“Little Ben”obtained his degree from UNC-Chapel Hill’s School of Dentistry in 1994 and joined the family practice. He was blessed to get to work with his father, a skilled master dentist for seven years. Although “Big Ben,” passed in 2001, young Dr. Ben is continuing his legacy by bringing gentle and high-quality dental care to the Wilmington, North Carolina, area.
