Roxanne Benison, D.M.D., M.S.

Endodontic care isn’t something most people seek out until they need it. When that time comes, having a specialist nearby can make the difference between uncertainty and clarity. Roxanne Benison, D.M.D., M.S. focuses on treating the interior of teeth—root canals, retreatment, and surgical procedures that preserve natural teeth rather than replace them. The practice operates from 22 Glen Ed Professional Park Ste B, a quiet office park in Glen Carbon where the streets curve gently around small medical buildings.

Root canal therapy often carries outdated associations, but the field has evolved significantly. Modern endodontics prioritizes precision and patient comfort, addressing infections and inflammation that might otherwise lead to extraction. They also handle cracked teeth, traumatic dental injuries, and cases where previous treatments need revision. The goal remains consistent: to save the tooth and maintain its function without resorting to implants or bridges.
