Meet Our Experienced Team at Root Dental

Ben Grothe
Ben Grothe serves as the Business Development Lead at Root Dentall, where he plays a key role in expanding access to the practice’s elevated, patient-centered approach to care. He holds a Master of Healthcare Administration (MHA) and brings a strong foundation in healthcare systems, operations, and community outreach.
Growing up in a rural farming community in Centerville, Iowa, Ben developed a deep appreciation for the importance of accessible, high-quality healthcare. That perspective continues to shape his work today. When Dr. Maggie Grothe set out to create Root Dental, Ben was inspired by her vision and the opportunity to help bring a more thoughtful, comprehensive standard of care to the community.
He especially values Dr. Grothe’s commitment to functional, whole-person dentistry. Her focus on identifying and addressing the root cause of dental concerns reflects a level of care that is both intentional and lasting. Supporting that mission and helping more patients experience it firsthand is what drives him each day.
Ben is passionate about connecting people to care that can truly change how they feel about their health and their smile, while ensuring every patient feels supported and confident throughout their experience at Root Dental.
Outside of the practice, Ben enjoys spending time with his wife, Dr. Grothe, along with their two cats, Finnegan and Pippa. He values an active lifestyle and meaningful connection, both within the community and at home.
