Meet Family-Oriented Dentists Ben and Megumi Lambeth
Hello! We are Ben and Megumi Lambeth, the husband-and-wife dental team at Milltown Family Dentistry. We met in dental school, got married, were blessed with two awesome girls and a son, and then decided to open up our own office!
We both grew up with dentistry in our families and have been dreaming up the practice that we would one day have together. We have tried to think of everything from the moment you walk in the door, to when you leave, to give you the best dental experience possible. We look forward to meeting you and taking care of your smile!

Ben Lambeth, DDS
I was born and raised in North Carolina. After attending the University of North Carolina for both undergraduate studies and dental school, I completed a General Practice Residency at the VA hospital in Portland, Oregon. There, I served medically compromised veterans in a hospital setting.
I love traveling, eating great food, golfing, and cheering on the Tar Heels. In addition to hanging out with Megumi and our two daughters, I am passionate about keeping up with the latest practices and technology in dentistry. In the last year alone, I have attended more than 100 hours of continuing education and have traveled to the Spear Institute (Scottsdale, AZ) and the Nash Institute (Huntersville, NC).

Megumi Lambeth, DDS
I was born in Tokyo, and my family moved to the United States when I was 6 months old. I grew up in Chapel Hill and continued my studies at the University of North Carolina, earning both a BS and DDS. In dental school, I loved helping those in need. I was a student leader of SHAC, a community health clinic in Carrboro. I also travelled to an orphanage in Mexico to offer much needed dental care.
After graduating, Ben and I moved to Portland, OR where I began my career in private practice. I enjoy cooking (and eating!), traveling, and spending time with family and friends. My mom, Shizuko, was an endodontist, but more so than that, was my hero. She was so excited about our practice, and while she is not here physically to see it, I know she’s pumped! This office is dedicated to you, mom.
