Dr. Bertrand Bonnick is one of the leading dentists in North Carolina because he provides a wide range of dental services and gives each patient the individual care they deserve. He has over 30 years of practice experience, ranging from general dentistry to sedation dentistry and everything in between. He fell in love with North Carolina on his honeymoon in 2000 and decided to relocate here. Before that, he had practiced in New York for 18 years.
Dr. Bonnick graduated from the State University of New York-Albany cum laude in 1982 with a B.S. in chemistry and a combined minor in mathematics and physics. He went on to graduate from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1986 and was selected as a Who’s Who Scholar for academic achievement and student government leadership.
Dr. Bonnick wanted to further his education, so he competed for and earned a position in advanced training at Long Island Jewish Hospital Medical Center-QHC. He completed a rotation in the Department of Anesthesiology, providing sedation for six to ten patients each day.
Dr. Bonnick stayed for a second year of residency, serving as the Chief Resident. He remained in the program for 10 years as an instructor and in 1991 was voted Instructor of the Year by the dentists he taught in the post-graduate dental program. Dr. Bonnick has received many honors over the years, but he counts this as one of his proudest achievements.
Dr. Bonnick understands that his lifelong commitment to learning and continuing education are crucial to maintaining his position as one of the best dentists in North Carolina. By 1992, he had completed over 500 credits of continuing education and had passed an extensive written examination on all areas of dentistry, allowing him to be recognized with a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD).
In November of 2004, Dr. Bonnick completed the Medical College of Georgia’s one-year Maxicourse program on dental implantology and became the first dentist in Guilford County to own the Simplant software for virtual implant surgery.
Thus far over his long career, Dr. Bonnick has achieved Master in the Academy of General Dentistry with over 1100 hours of continuing education completed. He also became the first North Carolina dentist awarded the Diplomate in the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS). Dr. Bonnick maintains membership in a number of other professional dental organizations, including the North Carolina Dental Society and the Dental Implant Association of North Carolina.
At Relax Dental, we realize that technology and credentials are important, but are only part of what makes a good dentist. That’s why caring for patients in an ethical and compassionate manner is Dr. Bonnick’s primary concern.
The Dental office staff were very friendly and kind. The dental technician explained everything and reassured me, despite my anxiety. The Dentist was very kind and professional and explained everything as well. He also has hospital privilege’s which is excellent. I feel very safe knowing that I am in good hands when I go there. I will be recommending others as well.
I am absolutely blown away by how amazing this office, staff, and dentist was. I haven’t been to a dentist in years due to horrible traumatizing previous dentist visits and broke a tooth. This office was able to work me in and took stellar care of my every needs. From the front desk, Holly and Dr. Bacon they all made me feel so relaxed and at ease. I am so blown away and have never had dental work that was painless. I almost started crying because I was so overwhelmed with joy from such an awesome experience. I highly recommend this office, especially if you have anxiety. I have definitely found my new dental home and am forever grateful for this place.
I love Relax Dental as I have been going there for years. I have an issue with not being able to be numbed for dental work but they were able to help me here. The staff are very welcoming and they have state of the art equipment. They provide excellent services. In fact I moved to Florida but came back this week to go to Relax Dental. They are that fantastic!
Great staff and doctors. The care received is excellent, everything is throughly explained, and you have the opportunity to ask questions without feeling intimidated. Every effort is made to make sure that you are comfortable. The practice has excellent hours. For excellent service and care I have no problem driving out of town.
Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff. Each visit has been a pleasurable experience. Amazing work with needle injections. If you are not paying attention you probably wouldn’t feel them at all.
I’ve been coming to Dr. Rafael since 1996 and now my entire family does as well. My hygienist Tammy really cares about the health of my teeth. She always takes such great care of me and my family. Dr. Rafael and the entire staff at Relax Dental are very professional, knowledge, and great with my kids!
The new dentist Dr.Wallace is amazing. He is very knowledgeable and I recommend him. He was very gentle with my procedure and very nice. He goes far and beyond to the best work possible and checks on you to make sure you are doing well.
Dr. Vivek & everyone were amazing, thorough, and attentive while treating my grandma for a dental emergency, we were able to get an appointment right away. Their compassion and patience will not be forgotten also thank you for being a huge help working with us and insurance. Thank you so much! 🙂
Affordable, great service. My doctor was the best at my tooth extraction. Also, the receptionists are so gentle and nice. I loved this place honestly
Excellent service provided with all who attended to me for my cleaning/check up. Both the Dentist and the hygienist did and excellent job. Thanks
