About Me
Dr. Benjamin Farham’s journey in dentistry began with his enrollment at Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU). After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree with honors from OHSU, Dr. Farham embarked on a journey of continuous professional growth and development. Seeking to broaden his knowledge and skills, he pursued a one-year general practice residency at the esteemed US Veterans Affairs Hospital in Portland, Oregon.
During his residency, Dr. Farham gained valuable experience in various aspects of general dentistry, further solidifying his foundation in patient care. This invaluable training allowed him to understand the importance of a comprehensive approach to dentistry, which would later contribute to his success as an endodontist. Motivated by his deep fascination with endodontics, Dr. Farham chose to pursue advanced training in this specialized field. He was accepted into the prestigious residency program in endodontics at Penn Dental Medicine, a world-renowned institution known for its excellence in dental education.
Dr. Farham understands that dental treatments, especially root canals, can be anxiety-inducing for some individuals. With his warm and empathetic demeanor, he ensures that each patient feels comfortable, informed, and empowered throughout their treatment journey. He firmly believes in fostering open and transparent communication, taking the time to explain procedures, address concerns, and answer any questions patients may have.
Dr. Farham’s gentle chairside manner and commitment to delivering pain-free experiences have earned him the trust and gratitude of his patients.
When not attending to his patients’ dental needs, Dr. Benjamin Farham enjoys spending quality time with his family and loved ones.​
