We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.

I love the conversations with our patients, catching up on the latest news, and meeting new people. Our patients are my friends and feel like family to me. Im glad to help people I care about develop healthy and happy smiles. I welcome patients to our office and make sure their visit is a good one. I work with patients toreview their proposed treatment plans. I help them with their insurance, too. I also handle patient correspondence and scheduling.

I love spending time with my family, most of whom live only 10 minutes from me. I have a delightful Cockapoonamed Bailey. Im active with my church and their elementary school. I love volunteering to help with costumes and set designs for plays.

Our patients are the best! My coworkers and our patients feel like family. I enjoy catching up with them at each visit.I handle our recare system, accounts payable, and insurance,as well as a variety of front-desk duties.I do whatevers needed to keep everything running well.

I have two grown daughters who are in the nursing and dental fields, as well as two grandchildren who have captured my heart.Ilive in Sandwich and lovetaking short trips to anywhere to see the beautiful scenery that surrounds us.Ialso love to fish and garden in my spare time.

I enjoy helping patients reach their goals of better oral and overall health. Each person has unique needs and desires. I encourage patients to talk about what they want to achieve, and then we work together to make it happen. I take patient histories, examine their mouth, and clean and polish teeth. All the while, I talk with the patient about the correlation between tooth and gum health and the health of their body. I want people to be able to make good decisions and create healthy habits.

I enjoy building strong relationships with my patients, and learning who they are outside the office. Hearing about their lives and interests creates a bond. It also gives me insight into how I can help them improve their oral health. I review a patients medical history, take digital X-rays, and perform scaling, root planing, and polishing. A lot of my day is spent teaching people about their dental health and how they can keep it in great shape.

When not working, my husband Jerry and I love traveling. We enjoy music and attend concerts as well as sporting events throughout the year. In the winter we spend a lot of time trying to beat our family in fantasy football.

I enjoy creating relationships with our patients. I have a caring spirit, and being able to care for and help them makes me happy. My patients feel like family members and I am committed to giving them the best care. While I clean a patients teeth, offer non-surgical periodontal treatment, and record their information, I talk about their dental condition. Together, we find ways they can improve their home care and keep their smile healthy.

I have one daughter, who is a joy and keeps me on my toes, as well as two cats, Buttons and Ribbons, who are 19 years old. Im active in my churchs television ministry. My favorite pastimes include reading, movies, and competing in triathlons.

I enjoy knowing that each of my patients is healthier after coming to see me. I enjoy getting to know my patients as people, learning about their lives and interests, and becoming friends. During visits, I provide preventive care andnon-surgical periodontal therapy, and collect diagnostic images and data. Its my goal to help each patient take control of their oral health, so I spend a lot of time offering education and encouragement.

I love seeing how happy a patient is at the end of restorative treatment. Those healthy, beautiful smiles make me smile. I enjoy interacting with and getting to know our patients, and developstrong friendships with many. Helping to relieve anxiety and pain, and restoring smiles, are the best parts of my work. I provide chairside assistance, to supportthe doctor and our patient. I also prepare and break down treatment rooms and sterilize instruments.

Our patients are, far and away, the best part of my work. I love caring for whole families, from the toddlers through grandparents, and being part of their lives. This is a positive, fun place and our patients contribute to that atmosphere. I help patients during visits. I prepare them to see Dr. Jonker, explain what hell be doing, and answer questions. Then I offer chairside assistance, to makesure the doctor has everything needed while checking to make sure our patient is comfy.

Im a longtime Naperville resident, having moved here in 1961 when it was still a small farming community.My husband John and I met in high school. I had two wonderful children who gave us four amazing grandkids. After raising my family, I took a small part-time job here, that has now become a 28 year long career. John and I share our home with two active Westies, Betty and Wilma, and two loud parrots.I enjoy gardening, as well as volunteering every Sunday with the USO at Midway airport.

My profession has allowed me to help people with a myriad of dental issues, to improvetheir oral and overall health and makethem happy with their smile. Dentistry is a phenomenal profession, blending medicine with art. It allows me to meet and spend time with people from all walks of life, and buildlasting friendships that are personally rewarding.

I love the trust a patient places in me. I love being able to make a person feel at ease and keep him or hercomfortable during treatment. I enjoytreating my young patients, ensuring their first dental experience is positive and creating a lifetime dental patient. I enjoy our older patients, who share stories of their lives and experiences. I savor the conversations I have throughout the day and how those expand my world and make me a better person.

As a dentist, I am drawn to helpcreate beautiful and healthy smiles for my patients. Every patients needs and desires are unique. Its an incredible moment when I handpatients a mirrorfollowing treatment, and hearthem say, Wow!

I complete many hours of continuing dental education every year, always with the goal of providing the best options for my patients. Ive learned from leaders in the fields of cosmetic dental procedures, restorative dentistry, implant dentistry, to name a few.

Your oral health and smile care needs are unique; you deserve dental care thats customized to you. Dr. Michael Dr. Mike Bond will take the time needed to learn your treatment goals and concerns. Then he will create a care plan thats tailored to meet your desires and clinical needs.

Using leading-edge processes, state-of-the-art technology, and the gentlest touch, Dr. Mike and our team will soon have your smile healthy and beautiful. We focus on preventive care, so you can keep your teeth strong and looking great.

When work is needed to restore functionso you can chew comfortably and properly, we stress conservative treatments that deliver the best results. And when you want your smile to look just a little more beautiful, we can make that happen.

Each of us believes a visit to the dentist should be an enjoyable experience. Well get to know you as a person, not a set of teeth in the exam chair or a number on a chart. We like to have fun as we work, and playjokes on each other and oftengetour patients in on the joke. We laugh, sing, listen to the oldies, tell stories, and wear colorful scrubs. We all look forward to coming to work, becauseevery day is special.

We understand that some people have had bad dental experiences in the past;experiences which make them fear seeing the dentist. Were not here to judge anyone. Instead, we encourage patients to talk about their concerns. By actively listening, providing support and encouragement, and talking people through each procedure, we help them move through their worries.

Have had wonderful experiences here with the staff and Dr. Jonker. Had my cavities filled today and he did an amazing job! He takes good care of his patients. You'll feel right at home and in good hands. Very professional and friendly. Coming back for my cleaning in March!

Met Dr. Jonker for the first time this past Saturday after having cracked my tooth. Couldn't have been a nicer experience. He is kind, knowledgeable and provides you with all the options to make an informed decision. I went in to just have him take a look to see what work needed to be completed on my tooth...next thing you know...I'm getting numbed up and getting my tooth fixed right then and there. Loved that he explained what he was doing while working on my tooth and....saved me a return trip to the office. Very pleased with my first experience...see you in November for my cleaning!!

Appointments at the dentist are like visiting family with passion, friendliness and the highest expertise. Everything is state of the art and Liz, who cleaned my teeth, gave me much information on how to further care for my teeth at home. Dr. Don is engaging and takes the time to answer my questions. Everyone in the office is caring and of the highest quality capabilities.

Great experience! The majority of reviews I read all referred to "feeling like family". Their professional yet compassionate care is everything I was looking for. They have state of the art equipment that makes cleaning your teeth a breeze. They answered all of my questions with a care filled response. I truly felt like family before I left. Can't wait for my next appointment! Thank you Dr. Don Jonker and team!

I have been a patient of retired Dr. Bond for about 35 years. It was sad to learn of this retirement by my "life-long" dentist. I did consider moving to a "closer" new dentist, as I travel 40 minutes to the Naperville office. But, friends did not have dentists they thought were amazing. So, loving the staff at the Naperville office, I decided to stay. (Note the words, I decided to stay). As fate would have it, I broke an old filling and even cracked this tooth further. Crown, hear we come! (This will be the real test of this dentist.) Well, I am here to say, Dr. Jonker is amazing. Dr. Jonker is skilled, kind, informative and a perfectionist (Just like my fav dentist Dr. Bond). My tooth feels great and I am grateful I have such a wonderful dentist!

Very happy with the results of my dental need for two crowns. We have been patients at this office for many years and have referred numerous friends neighbors and relatives to the practice. This is my first experience with the new Dr Don and I give him high marks on his chairside manner and technical expertise. We'll recommend him as a greater transition to this established practice.

Liz, Dr. Don and team were great! My 5 year old had SO many questions and they we kind enough to answer them and be very patient with her during the cleaning. We just moved to the area so finding a friendly and knowledgeable dental practice is wonderful!

I've had a great experience in the care of Dr. Don and staff. He took over the practice of a wonderful doctor that was retiring and had some big shoes to fill. The transition was seamless, and I could tell that great respect and care went into it. One thing I have always admired with the past and present doctor (and hygienists/staff) is their desire to keep evolving to provide patients with the latest and greatest in knowledge, equipment & techniques. They are committed to pivoting or adapting, whichever is best for the continued health of the patients. Thank you!

No pain dentists are hard to find but Dr Jonkers is the real deal. Set up my molar for a crown today. All my anxiety for nothing

Dr Jonker is the perfect replacement for Dr Bond in that he treated me like family rather than a client. He was straight forward with options and recommendations and his knowledge of treatments and solutions to my issue made perfect sense. I trusted Dr Jonker because he gave me no reason to not.

UPDATE: I know change is supposed to be good but it's terrifying when it's your family dentist whom you've found after many 'bad' dentists. When they told me Dr. Mike was retiring, I kind of went into a panic. But here were the good signs: 1. The staff all stayed in place. No one (that I know of) left when Dr. Mike left. And since Dr. Mike always said it is the staff who really kept the place going, I felt very reassured. 2. When I went in for my first appt w/ Dr. Jonker, I was totally nervous. You know what? He was great. Super energetic, positive and easy to talk to. He is very approachable. But I waited til my 2nd visit w/ him to do the review b/c you know...anyone can be nice one time.... I've seen him twice now since he's taken over and honestly, it has been seamless. The procedures are all still the same; they still check for cancers (the only dentist I have ever had who does this); the appointment process is still easy....This is the smoothest transition I have ever ever ever seen in all my years of dealing w/ corporate and business transitions. So, this place is STILL my favorite dental place around, even w/ a new captain! 2019~~~~~~~ After multiple failed attempts at an implant, which also showed a tooth fragment still stuck deep within my gum, I decided it was time to switch dentists. I consulted two oral surgeons about the tooth fragment. Naperville Oral Surgery kept me waiting for over an hour and was quick to try and schedule a surgery time. Dr. Jerome Bergamini took several different views and said he didn't think I needed surgery but asked me to see Dr. Bond. (Thank goodness I always get multiple opinions!) I didn't have a lot of expectations when going to Dr. Bond because I'm a little leery of people referring others in the industry. From the outside, the office is not flashy like some offices you'll see cropping up lately. They converted an old house into the dental office, but I happen to love the repurpose mentality. From the moment I called and Linda answered, it was Four Seasons Hotel level of service. They got me in quickly, especially because it was a referral. Everyone in the office was cheerful and happy. They joked that the 'newest' staff member had "only" been there for 17 years and they aren't kidding. The staff here is so happy it seems no one leaves unless they retire or move. Dr. Mike is a super knowledgeable, empathetic dentist. He is very thorough -- he even check your tongue for any signs of cancer! He worries about your pain. He wants you to call him if the slightest thing is bothering you because prevention is better than reaction. He consistently compliments his staff and says they only keep him around to reach tall shelves (he is a really tall guy). His staff is wonderful. They are super organized and nothing falls through the cracks. Everyone remembers your name. The covid procedures they've put into place are top notch. They answer EVERY question and they are extremely patient. They do everything they can to help you through the insurance process. The hygienists are all very gentle and detail oriented. I never liked getting my cleanings from anyone other than the dentists because I always left with a bloody mouth. But this place has changed my mind because all of the hygienists have years of experience and great technique! I am so happy I found this place. I think it's been one of Naperville's best kept secrets b/c they don't have that much of an online presence but have been around for years. This is a wonderful place. You will have no regrets.

After our long time dentist retired, we started seeing Dr. Jonker, who took over his practice. He made my daughters and me feel at ease right away. While we will miss our old dentist, we are so happy to be in Dr. Jonker's care!
