Dr. Laura Benca who is a dentist in Tukwila, WA

Dr. Laura Benca joined Benca Dentistry because of the same philosophy she shares with her mother - Dr. Patricia Benca: Delivering high-quality family and cosmetic dentistry to anyone who walks through our doors.

As a mother-and-daughter team, Dr. Laura and Dr. Benca work together to ensure your smile is healthy and STAYS healthy.

Dr. Laura's journey to becoming a dedicated Tukwila dentist.

After earning her DDS degree from the University of Washington, Dr. Laura enhanced her education by completing the Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) program. This one-year residency program's objective is to improve and intensify the knowledge, clinical abilities, and associated professional interests of newly graduated dental students. Simultaneously, it emphasizes the overall dental care of complex medically imperiled and developmentally disabled hospitalized patients.

Dr. Laura Benca completed her AEGD in Juneau, Alaska, at a SEARHC Opens in a new window facility with a focus on general dentistry, root canals, and oral surgery.

SEARHC is a non-profit tribal health consortium comprised of 18 Native associations that assist the health concerns of the Tlingit, Haida, Tsimshian, and other Native people of Southeast Alaska. They are one of the earliest and biggest Native-run health organizations in the nation.

This exposure and hands-on training have allowed Dr. Laura to become the kind, caring dentist she is today. Contact us today to schedule your visit and see if she is the right dentist for you.
