About Us

Five Star Dental Consulting was started when Dr Benedetto 54 sustained a hand injury effectively ending the “wet fingered phase” of his Dental career. Through 28 successful years in private FFS practice Dr B mastered the proficient running of a large profitable Dental practice with very little staff turnover and high profitability. Shortly after retiring he was approached to help manage and sell multiple private practices. Dr Benedetto and his team of consultant/trainers now are helping Dental offices mature with the unique perspective of a hands on Dentist. Practice sales and transitions are also accomplished with this unique perspective of a hands on Dentist. Per Dr B, “I take great pride and joy in helping Drs lower their stress levels by bringing in organization, systems and training to jump start practice growth and profitability.”
