    Dr. Dax Benfield

    Dax graduated from LECOM School of Dental Medicine in 2022. His philosophy for dentistry is results-based and comfort-driven. He strives to make every visit a little more pleasant than the last.

     Dax is a local to the area. He grew up in Hudson, NC, and attended South Caldwell High School. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Appalachian State University with a major in Cell/Molecular Biology and minors in Chemistry and General Business. Dax’s love for the high country and its people brings him back to practice dentistry. 

    Dax’s hobbies include riding motorcycles, camping, rock climbing, sailing and hiking. Dax and his fiancé have a goldendoodle named Dr. Louie who aspires to become a therapy dog in the dental practice. A fun fact about Dax is that he rode a motorcycle across the U.S. from Cape Hatteras, NC, to Port Orford, OR, along the Trans-America Trail!
