Meet Our Dentists In Harrisburg

Dr. Jon Kanegawa grew up in Oahu, Hawaii. He is a graduate of the Punahou School in Honolulu. He received his BA from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, and his DDS degree from Temple University in Philadelphia. He practiced dentistry in both Hawaii and Pennsylvania before establishing a private practice outside of Reading, PA. Dr. Kanegawa ran his practice for 30 years before relocating to the Tri-Valley area of Schuylkill County. He continued to treat patients there for almost four years. The opportunity to work in a highly patient-oriented environment combined with spending significantly more time with family is why he decided to become a dentist in Harrisburg with American Dental Care.

Dr. Alex Benner graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a Bachelor of Science, double-majoring in science-business and Chinese. He earned his DMD from Temple University where he was awarded a scholarship for academic achievement and served as President of his class. Interestingly, he lived for several years in China and graduated high school from the International School of Beijing.

Dr. Benner furthered his dental education at Jefferson Health – Abington Hospital, one of the country’s foremost residency programs. He gained extensive experience in treating medically compromised patients, implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, and complete oral rehabilitation cases. Because of his work in dental implants, he has been awarded a Fellowship with the International Congress of Oral Implantology.
