Education and Background
Dr. Dino Bonyadi earned his Doctoral of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California, School of Dentistry in 1992 after graduating with a BA in biology from California State University, Northridge.
He then practiced 11 years of family dentistry in the Los Angeles cities of Burbank and Glendale. After building that dental practice from the ground up straight out of dental school, Dr. Dino Bonyadi decided to take a sabbatical from private practice and followed his dream of developing a rare fruit orchard (medlar) in Kern county.
During his sabbatical, Dr. Bonyadi spent seven years exploring different modes of practice in various dental offices and gaining knowledge on the latest technology in dentistry. The experience gained during this time was integral in shaping his current practice as it allowed him to observe and participate in divergent perspectives on dentistry. Dr. Bonyadi was able to evaluate and see firsthand how different types of dental insurance (such as PPO, HMO, etc.) impact patient care. He was also able to compare and contrast high-tech multi-doctor dental offices with low-tech rural solo practitioners.
Dr. Bonyadi took something valuable away from every experience he had as a dentist and has combined them in his current dental practice here in Santa Maria.
Personal Interests
When he is not brightening smiles, Dr. Dino enjoys fishing, boating, horseback riding, vegetable gardening, and spending time with his wife, Jenna, and their many pets.
Dr. Dino and his wife are avid animal lovers and enjoy all the outdoor activities Santa Maria and California’s Central Coast has to offer.
They are also the co-authors of Your Roadmap to TMJ Health, how to navigate your way through TMJ disorder with a comprehensive approach to healing. Available on Amazon.
