Benjamin J. Grooters, DDS
General Dentist in Tallahassee, FL
Meet Dr. Benjamin Grooters, Practice Owner
Born in Edina, Minnesota, Dr. Grooters spent much of his childhood moving throughout the Midwest as his father worked for several universities. His family eventually settled in Tallahassee, where he attended Lincoln High School.
Dr. Grooters’ passion for the dental profession began after experiencing a broken tooth and dental abscess as a child, inspiring him to help others restore their oral health and confidence. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Mary in Bismarck, North Dakota, before receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry.
With nearly two decades of experience practicing dentistry, Dr. Grooters enjoys the unique combination of creativity, science, engineering, and problem-solving that dentistry offers. He provides comprehensive dental care with a special interest in crown and bridge treatment, root canals, dental implants, clear aligners, and tooth extractions.
Dr. Grooters believes every patient deserves a personalized approach to care. He takes time to listen to each person’s concerns, answer questions, and develop treatment plans that align with their individual goals and expectations. Understanding that dental anxiety can prevent many people from seeking care, he focuses on building trust from the very first visit and strives to provide a gentle, comfortable, and pain-free experience that helps patients feel confident throughout their treatment.
