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.

I initially came to Dr. Bonyadis office seeking help with a severe migraine, and jaw/neck pain due to night grinding. He spent four hours with me helping to diagnose the source of the pain, he provided emotional comfort, both the doctor and all of his staff were very caring, kind, accommodating, and they even went above and beyond to help me with my insurance coverage issues. Dr. Bonyadi treated my neck and jaw with the ACCUSCOPE machine which reduced my pain immediately! He caught me up on all the dental work that I needed in a very short time- which improved the aesthetics of my smile and improved my attitude and self-esteem. There are no words to completely express my gratitude for the care this office provided to me. Five Stars for Integrity, Quality, Professionalism, and Empathy! I was above all most impressed at Dr. Bonyadis ability to treat the whole person. He is more than a dentist, he is a healer!!!
