Dr Duane Bennett,

Dr. Bennett has always loved teeth, but it was his two grandfathers’ struggles with periodontal disease that prompted his interest in the specialty. Dr. Bennett is a skilled clinician, published researcher and educator who has a wealth of knowledge and clinical experience. He has advanced training and proficiency in not only traditional Periodontal Surgery, but also the newest techniques in Periodontology including bone grafting, Pinhole Technique gum grafting (Non-palatal, stitch-free gum grafting), Tunneling Technique gum grafting (Non-palatal, limited incision gum grafting), and laser assisted dentistry. In addition to treating gum and oral bone-related conditions, Dr. Bennett has extensive experience in Implant Dentistry.

He attended Indiana University for his post-doctoral training in Oral Biology, Periodontology and Implantology. During his tenure there, he served as the Chief Resident. While finishing his post-doctoral training, Dr. Bennett also taught pre-doctoral dental students. Following his post-doctoral residency training, Dr. Bennett moved to the Pacific Northwest to practice in greater Seattle along with the Tri-cities (Richland) in Eastern Washington. In addition to his private practice in the State of Washington, he served as an Affiliate Clinical Instructor at the University of Washington School of Dentistry.
