Dr. Benjamin Bowman is a full-service dentist, performing all types of general dentistry as well as implants, wisdom teeth extractions, aesthetics/cosmetics, TMJ treatment, and full mouth rehabilitation. He attended the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry where he enjoyed honors including Dean's Honor Roll and special recognition for his skills and knowledge in implants, oral surgery, and cosmetic dentistry.
Dr. Bowman speaks fluent Spanish, which he learned after high school graduation when he served a 2 year mission for his church to South America. "I was truly humbled by the circumstances and fell in love with the people as I learned Christlike service."
His experience in South America further solidified his desire to be in the service/health industry. As a child he would make rounds with his grandad to the hospital where he saw firsthand how much he loved his patients and how much his patients loved him. "I decided as a young boy I wanted to be a doctor, just like my Grandad."
After dental school, he practiced in Arkansas then in Texas. Fate brought him to Kingfisher when an unexpected trip home from Texas led to the realization he needed to move back home to Oklahoma so he and his wife could raise their children near their grandparents. Although Dr. Bowman got to spend some time with his Grandad, he did not get to grow up near him. He knew his family needed the experience he was unable to enjoy. He was offered a partnership in Kingfisher and jumped at the chance to join the Kingfisher community. "It was such an easy decision because we love this community so much and we knew we would be here for a long time." He is proud to make his professional home in Kingfisher and being a part of the community has been an experience that has far exceeded his expectations.
Dr. Benjamin Cuevas was born in Santiago, Chile and moved to the United States in 2002. His first experience in the US was here in Oklahoma where he lived in Edmond and attended Cheyenne Middle School for 6th and 7th grade until he moved to Washington state and finished his primary education there. After high school Dr. Cuevas served a two year mission for his church in Tucson, Arizona where he was able to use his native Spanish language and learned to connect with many people from different walks of life. Upon returning home he met his wonderful wife and they now enjoy their three wonderful children.
Dr. Cuevas attended Brigham Young University Idaho where he completed his Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology. He completed his dental education at Midwestern University in Arizona where he was able to perform multiple fillings, crowns, root canals, wisdom teeth extractions, implants and more. From the day he first moved to Oklahoma from Chile he has had a special place in his heart for the people here and is excited to become part of the Okeene community!
During his free time he enjoys spending time with his family outdoors, playing music, and serving his community and church. He is extremely serious about ping pong and pickleball and is always looking for challengers.
