I’m new to dentures and implants, so kind of scary at first. However, Bonita Del Ray Dental put all my concerns at ease. From the first call to the in person consult and the actual procedure the staff have been friendly professional and most of all empathetic regarding my dental needs.

For me personally it’s been a godsend. My confidence level is through the roof. Being able to smile and not think about it, gives me a feeling of satisfaction. I can hardly wait for the permanents, which will be in three months. The staff at Bonita Del Rey has been exceptional, very mindful of one’s needs. My thanks to Dr. Espinosa and his whole staff. Although implant procedures are on the costly side, I would do it again without hesitation. Thank you all again.
