Meet Dr. Horn

Benjamin Horn, DDS, MS

Dr. Horn was born in Mill Valley, California, just north of San Francisco. The son of lifelong
educators, he is one of five siblings, all of whom have pursued careers in medicine or dentistry.
After shadowing his brother, also a periodontist, Dr. Horn knew that periodontics was the
specialty he wanted to pursue.

He graduated from the United States Naval Academy with a Bachelor of Science in Systems
Engineering and went on to flight school, where he was selected to fly the F/A-18. Following a
distinguished 12-year career as a Naval Aviator, he transitioned to dentistry, earning his Doctor
of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 2021 before
joining the U.S. Navy Dental Corps.

Dr. Horn completed a one-year residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry and
immediately began his periodontics residency at the Naval Postgraduate Dental School at Walter
Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. There, he conducted research on
various periodontal prognostic schemes and earned both a Certificate in Periodontology and a
Master’s Degree in Oral Biology.

He resides in Annapolis with his wife and three children and dog.
