Dr. Paul Bonar graduated with honors from OHSU and began his own private solo practice in 1987. Dr. Vickie Bonar comes from a family of dentists and began her medical journey as an RN, but eventually found her way to her way back to dentistry.
In 2019, with a desire to refresh their practice, Bonar Family Dentistry rebranded to become Pacific Crest Dental Group. It was their thorough enjoyment of all things outdoorsy and adventurous that lit a fire for their new name and brand which now better reflects their shared life values of living a healthy life and savoring our beautiful state.
It isn't only the doctors who hold a passion for adventuring in the outdoors or spending quality time with family and pets though. Each team member also shares those values, which makes the Pacific Crest Dental team what it is - a family-focused dental group who is proud to care for each and every one of their Salem, Oregon and surrounding area neighbors.
