AboutWhole Life Dental
Our Focus Is On You
Empowering You
The mouth serves as the entrance to the body. Every food we eat, every word we say, and every smile we flash ends up in our mouths. It is an honor for us to be a part of your journey to a healthy mouth and a beautiful smile!
Breaking Down the Overwhelming
Do you find some dental visits intimidating? Being aware that we will take time to explain to you what any problems mean and what we can do to help prevent you from becoming overwhelmed is the best protection against being overwhelmed.
Meeting People Where They Are
We all have questions, concerns, fears, worries, goals, ideas, and desires about our oral health and future. We want to hear your story and develop a treatment plan that works for you and your budget.
We also perform emergency dentist services that include bonding, root canals, crowns, and bridges. As a local dentist, we create lifelong relationships with our patients and their families and work to ensure that they receive treatments in a comfortable and relaxed environment. Dr. Dunlap and our team invite you to schedule an appointment by calling 864-626-6322 and experience why our patients think Whole Life Dental is the best dentist in Greenwood.
Ben Dunlap, DMD
Dr. Dunlap opened Whole Life Dental with two missions: to provide access to care for anyone in need and to meet his patients where they are in their journey to health and happiness. Dr. Dunlap agreed to provide some basic emergency and maintenance care for the patients in need. But what small amount of work he could provide, although helpful, was a mere fraction of the actual need in the community. As an effort to address this lack of care, Whole Life Initiative was born.

Between 2 jobs, family and loads of friends, I try to find some spare time to ride Harleys and enjoy the lake life. My quiet time is cutting my grass and doing yard work. I love to dance. I volunteer at the Voters Election Poll during the election times. Everybody needs to get out and vote and let your voice be heard! The string to my heart is my one and only grandson. My goal in life is to always help and encourage others—to always meet them where they are at in life. I live life to the fullest. I’m as crazy as they come, so come and see me at WLD. P.S.
