Dr. Benkovich Caring for Smiles
When you’re trusting someone with your family’s smiles, the little things matter, how you’re greeted, whether your questions get real answers, and if the whole thing fits your budget. Here’s what Annapolis families tell us they love:
Comfortable metal and modern self-ligating braces for kids, teens, and adults, with fun colors kids love.
A virtually invisible, removable way to straighten your smile. A favorite for adults and responsible teens.
Gentle first visits around age 7. Often, there’s nothing to do yet but keep a friendly eye on things.
It’s never too late. Discreet braces and Invisalign that fit a busy adult life, including retreatment.
Comfortable, clear, and Hawley retainers to protect your new smile, plus easy replacements.
Dr. John A. Benkovich has been caring for Annapolis and Chester families since 1993, with a refreshingly simple philosophy: treat every patient like a neighbor, explain everything clearly, and make each visit efficient and enjoyable.
Great smiles lead to happy, confident people, and helping families get there is what he loves most.
A lifelong learner, Dr. Benkovich earned his Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University, graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland Dental School, and completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Louisville, along with a master’s in oral biology.
He’s also an advisor to the Triple Crown Seattle Study Club, collaborating with dentists worldwide on complex cases. Outside the office, he and his wife, Maureen, love to travel and stay active. He’s a dedicated swimmer in the U.S. Masters Swimming program at the Naval Academy.
We’re grateful for every Annapolis family who trusts us with their smile. Here’s what a few of them have shared.
I had a wonderful experience feom the moment I called to make appointment to the moment I walked my children our of the office. The location of the office is easy to find. There is enough parking. The front office was welcoming and helpful. The office was nice and up to date. Dr. Benkovich is an expert with wonderful bedside manner. He used x-rays, pictures, models, any my children’s mouth to explain their treatment options. My kids felt comfortable.
I highly recommend Dr. Benkovich’s practice. We travel from PA every 4-6 weeks to have my kids get the best care. I was his patient at some point, and I received the needed dental care I never had before as a child. The staff assisting him during examinations, finances, and scheduling are very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.
Dr. Benkovich is very good with the kids, he’s friendly and my son loves him. The staff is also great. We had a wonderful experience. They also worked out a payment plan that worked for our family.
Professional and clean office with a laid-back family feeling. Dr. Benkovich was very knowledgeable and explained everything so that not only I, but my 10 year old, could understand.
Dr. Benkovich and his team are amazing! My sister, my children, and I have all been/still are patients. We drive from Ellicott City because it’s worth the quality work and caring environment he and his team provide. Highly recommend!
Thanks to Dr. Benkovich, Lauren has perfectly straight teeth. Tyler is still in treatment and we are positive we will get the same results. We enjoy all the staff at the office. They always have a friendly smile and friendly reminders!(the scanning machines are cool)
The nicest office staff of any Medical Office in Annapolis! Cindy is amazing and all the hygenests are so friendly! Doctor B is wonderful and definitely knows his stuff!
I imagine my son was nervous to see an orthodontist. However, the staff was warm, kind, and patient, and they all made my son feel comfortable. As a parent I appreciate that so much!
