The Dentist: Family Dentistry & Orthodontics

08/04/2026

At The Dentist, teamwork is at the heart of everything we do.

From our hygienists and dental assistants to our dentists, we work together to make every visit comfortable, thorough, and personalized.

This moment captures exactly who we are. Our hygienist, Kristi, giving Dr. Banez’s son a gentle, calm cleaning before Dr. Banez steps in for a quick check. It’s a reminder that the same care we give our own families is the care we give yours.

Whether it’s your child’s first cleaning, a routine checkup, or restoring your smile, we’re honored to care for families throughout our community.

We’d love to welcome you to our dental family. Come visit us today!

🇺🇸❤️ Happy Fourth of July from all of us at The Dentist Delavan! ❤️🇺🇸

Today we celebrate the land of the free because of the brave. We are incredibly grateful for the heroes who have served and continue to serve our country, and for the wonderful community we’re honored to care for every day.

We hope your holiday is filled with family, friends, great food, and spectacular fireworks! 🎆

Please note that our office is closed for the holiday weekend and will reopen Monday, July 6, ready to keep your smiles healthy and bright.

Have a safe, happy, and patriotic Independence Day! 🇺🇸✨

We’ve got more exciting news… please help us give a HUGE welcome to Heather!

Heather is joining our team as the smiling face you’ll see first when you walk through our doors at the front desk, and trust us, you’re going to love her energy. She’ll also be jumping in chairside from time to time, always ready to help wherever she’s needed and keep things running smoothly.

If Heather hadn’t found dentistry, she would have been an amazing nurse, but we’re pretty thrilled she chose us instead. Outside the office, she’s got big dreams of traveling all the way to Fiji, and when she’s not planning her next adventure, she’s likely deep into a good book. (Seriously, if reading were an Olympic sport, she’d be taking home gold every time!)

We already know she’s going to be a perfect fit for our team and our patients.

Join us in giving Heather the warmest welcome. We’re so lucky to have her!

We’ve got some SWEET news… please help us give a big welcome to our newest dental assistant, Reese!

Yes—his name is Reese, and yes—his favorite candy is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups… we’ll let you sit with that perfect coincidence for a second.

When he’s not in the office helping keep smiles healthy and bright, you’ll probably find him out on the boat enjoying the water and the weekend vibes. He lives by one simple mindset: “trust the process.”

We’re excited for the energy, positivity, and teamwork he brings to the practice, and even more excited for you all to meet him!

Welcome to the team, Reese! Let’s make some great things happen together

Our very own Dr. Johnson is more than just an amazing dentist! If you don’t already know, he owns Duesterbeck’s Brewing Company in Elkhorn. A man of many talents, he brews some of the best beers in the state! Check out his feature with TMJ4 with his wonderful wife Laura!

Ben and Laura Johnson started Duesterbeck's Brewing Company to save their multigenerational family farm. Their beer was just promoted from the farm to American Family Field. Read more at the link in the comments.

We’re sorry, we put the wrong dates in our original post! Updated with new dates!!!

🇺🇸 Our office will be taking a little toothbrush break for Memorial Day Weekend! 🪥✨

We’ll be closed Friday, May 22 through Monday, May 25 so our team can relax, recharge, and enjoy time with family & friends. ❤️

This weekend, we also pause to honor and remember the brave servicemen and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. 🇺🇸

We’ll be back smiling and ready to see you on Tuesday, May 27! 😁

Wishing everyone a safe, happy, and meaningful Memorial Day weekend!

Shoutout to the two women who help keep The Dentist running smoothly and efficiently! Big Thank you to Lynn and Heather as we celebrated them yesterday for National Administrative Professionals Day!

You are the heart and soul of the office making sure patients are greeted with a smile when they walk in to making sure they are sent off with a wave. Thank you for all you do!

Last week we celebrated our four amazing dental hygienists. The week was all about you!

We see the care you put into every patient, the extra time you take to educate, and the genuine kindness you bring into every room. You don’t just clean teeth, you build trust, ease anxiety, and help people feel confident about their smiles again.

Our days run smoother and our patients are healthier because of your dedication and heart. We’re truly lucky to have you all on our team.

Thank you for everything you do—not just this week, but every single day.

Even our doctors are not immune to random rapid fire questions. Dr. Johnson and Dr. Banez were asked their This or That questions and were surprised they had differing answers. We like variety in this office!

Please LIKE, FOLLOW, and SUBSCRIBE our Instagram page! Help us grow our socials! Who knows? We might just have some giveaways when we reach some milestones. Help us get to 100 followers and we’ll announce an office giveaway!

We’re back with Part 2 of our This or That series. Four more team members were surprised with four questions on the spot. Me, personally, I like skinny fries, mountain cabin, wake up early, and floss picks. What would you choose? Leave your answers below in the comments section!
