The Keene experience
The little things add up. Our train theme started as a nod to Keene's Santa Fe history and turned into the thing patients mention most in their reviews — right after the staff.

Most of this is equipment you'd usually have to drive to Fort Worth or Dallas for — we brought it to Keene so visits are faster, gentler, and more precise.
Milled right here — no temporary, no second trip.
Dentsply Sirona PrimeMill
Crafted in-house, so fittings and turnaround are quicker.
5-axis Ivoclar Programill PM7
Often with less needle and scalpel — and quicker healing.
Gemini EVO soft-tissue laser
Just a quick, comfortable digital scan of your teeth.
Intraoral scanner
Sharp digital images with a fraction of the radiation.

What sets us apart
Patients routinely tell us we said they didn't need work another office had pushed for years. That's not a sales tactic — it's just how we practice. If you don't need it, we'll tell you. If you do, we'll explain why and what your options are.

I'm a long-time dentist avoider, but I'm not exaggerating when I say this office offered life-changing care. If you're nervous, this is the most caring staff.
Kindest people. Definitely put my anxiety at ease.
He validated my concerns with my previous dentist recommending several fillings for cavities that did not exist.
I have the worst dental anxiety… they make me feel so welcomed and comfortable.
My first time at a dentist and I'm 42. They were amazing and friendly, and they didn't judge me.
I've legitimately been scared of the dentist my entire life. This fear caused so many problems — and they changed that for me.
The doctor was gentle and did not try to sell me anything. I'll be telling my adult children to go there.
They do an amazing job giving you a no-nonsense exam with no extra sales pitches.
Everyone is amazing. No pressure to do other treatments than what I came in for.
I drive an hour to go to them. They treat you like part of their family.
Every single time I walk in, I'm greeted like I'm part of the family.
Dr. Bennion gave me back something taken from me a long time ago — myself and my smile.
I love being offered a blanket and a hot wrap for my neck.
Very honest and knowledgeable. You get treated like family.
Had a bad tooth — called at 8 for an appointment and was in by 10.
I was traveling and my temp crown came off. They got me in within a few hours as soon as they opened.
Lost a tooth and they fit me in as a new patient with an emergency. Fantastic.
I'm 80 years young — and I enjoy the office's train theme!
The best dentist and dental office I've ever been to. 99% pain free!
I liked the chance to watch the birds and the squirrel right outside.
Always polite and professional. I drive two hours to see them!
I'm so glad God directed me to Old Betsy. Dr. B walks you through every step.
“They listen, educate, and do a thorough job — all with compassion and without the undertone of judgment so common elsewhere. My hygienist said, 'I'm going to use my water tool now, so let me know if anything is sensitive.' A simple phrase, yet 30 years of gaslighting fell away in that moment. I'm actually looking forward to my next cleaning now.
