Dr. Benjamin Kelley, DDS
Dr. Benjamin Kelley understands that most people don’t visit an endodontist for fun. Patients often arrive feeling anxious, experiencing pain, or unsure of what to expect. He believes that a positive treatment experience begins with listening, clear communication, and helping patients feel at ease. By taking the time to explain what’s happening and what to expect, Dr. Kelley strives to make every procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Get to know Dr. Kelley
One of the most rewarding parts of his work is changing patients’ perceptions of root canal treatment and showing them that it doesn’t have to be an experience to fear.
Dr. Kelley began his dental career at NYU College of Dentistry, where he earned his dental degree. He then completed a general practice residency at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center before serving as a general dentist and officer in the U.S. Navy at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, where he cared for Marines and sailors. His commitment to advancing his clinical expertise led him to complete his specialty training in endodontics at Rutgers School of Dental Medicine.
Today, Dr. Kelley combines his diverse clinical training and experience with a compassionate, patient-first approach. He takes pride in answering questions, discussing treatment options, and ensuring each patient feels informed and comfortable throughout their care. He is an active member of the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and the Second District Dental Society.
Outside the office, Dr. Kelley enjoys running, biking, and camping. He also enjoys one of life’s humbling experiences: having his cooking judged by a toddler.
