Dr Benjamin Clothier
Principal Dentist

When I was a youngster, I enjoyed watching my dad tinkering and making things with his tools and soon developed a love for this too.

It was a great outlet and taught me to be meticulous in planning and execution of a project.

As I grew older, I knew I wanted to work with my hands and the dental field really appealed to me as it provides a combination of scientific problem solving, whilst allowing the satisfaction of seeing results of hands on work.

Having grown up in Naracoorte I had always wanted to live and work in a country town as the lifestyle and people are unbeatable.

I love that as a rural general dentist there are a vast variety of procedures to be done.

The things I like most about my job are meeting lots of interesting people, building relationships, being able to relieve tooth aches, and helping people improve maintain their smile and chewing ability for longer.

When I’m not at work, I love spending time with family and friends, doing ‘handyman’ jobs around the house and listening to music.

I also enjoy running to keep fit and it’s a great way to enjoy the beautiful area we live in.
