Dr. Benjamin Gubernick

Dr. Benjamin J. Gubernick was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and moved to Florida with his family when he was only six months old. He was raised in Palm City and considers himself a Florida native. Dr. Gubernick knew from a young age that he wanted to become a dentist due to the unique blend of science and art that dentistry entails.

Dr. Gubernick graduated with his Doctorate in Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2015. He completed a General Practice Residency at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center in Gainesville, Florida. This additional post-graduate training allowed him to enhance his skills in restorative and surgical dentistry.
