Meet Our Doctors
Dear Valued Patient,
We hope this letter finds you and your family in great health and high spirits. We’re excited to share some meaningful news as we begin a new chapter at PGA Smiles.
After many years of dedicated service to the Palm Beach Gardens community, I’ve made the heartfelt and difficult decision – due to medical reasons – to begin stepping back from full-time patient care, gradually reducing my clinical schedule with plans to eventually retire
To ensure a seamless transition—and to continue delivering the high-quality dentistry you’ve come to expect—I’m honored to introduce the newest member of our PGA Smiles team: Dr. Aaron Edge.
A proud Florida native, Dr. Edge completed his undergraduate studies at Auburn University before earning his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Boston University. After careful consideration, I’m confident that Dr. Edge is the perfect fit for our practice. We share the same values: compassion, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care.
Dr. Edge shares:
“I’m truly honored to join PGA Smiles and to work alongside Dr. Benson and the incredible team here. As a dentist deeply committed to clinical excellence and personalized care, I look forward to building meaningful, long-term relationships with each of you. It’s a privilege to become part of a practice with such a strong legacy of trust, compassion, and excellence in oral health.”
Dr. Edge and I will work closely together throughout this transition to ensure continuity of care and to make the process as smooth and seamless as possible for you and your family. You’ll continue to see the familiar faces you know and trust, and we’re always here to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for being such an important part of the PGA Smiles family. We’re deeply grateful for your trust and loyalty, and we look forward to continuing to provide the personalized, high-quality dental care you deserve.
Until The Whole World Smiles
