General Dentist Ponte Vedra Beach
Get to Know
Dr. Kristen De Bonis
For over a decade, Dr. De Bonis has dedicated herself to improving her patients’ quality of life and self-confidence by restoring their oral health. She treats each patient as if they were a close friend or loved one, and she’s able to care for entire families. Her goal is to set you up for a lifetime of bright and healthy smiles, but first, you can start getting to know her below.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
When she was a freshman in college, Dr. De Bonis volunteered as an assistant in the dental school in order to learn more about the field. During her very first session, she was able to witness how a dentist can change someone’s self-esteem in just one visit by repairing their broken or severely decayed teeth to give them a beautiful new smile. She knew right then that this was something she wanted to be able to do.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. De Bonis earned both her undergraduate and DMD degrees from the University of Florida. Over the course of her career, she has gained valuable experience in restorative dentistry, crown and bridge treatment, dental implant restorations, removable prosthetics, veneers, and more. She is also nitrous oxide certified and an active member of the American Dental Association and Florida Dental Association.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. De Bonis says that if she wasn’t a dentist, she would own a bakery! She loves to bake cupcakes and consistently does for our team members on their birthdays. She was a standout tennis player in high school (holding the record for the most wins), and she still spends plenty of time on the court to stay active. Otherwise, you’ll most likely find her at home with her family cheering on the Florida Gators!
