    Dr. Bonaventure is by far the best dentist In Baton Rouge!!!! He has seamlessly pulled my wisdom teeth and not even the numbing part was painful! He’s very caring and personable with his patients in a very professional manner ! Not only Dr. Bonaventure but his staff as well, the ladies at the front... desk are awesome they remember who I am when I call (no better feeling) and the ladies that do the cleanings are the BEST!!!! They take their time and clean your teeth thoroughly; they even ask how your teeth are feeling when they’re done! I’ve already recommended my co workers to Dr. Bonaventure and now working on my mother in law lol! Dr. Bonaventure and his office has me as a patient forever as well as an ADVOCATE can’t wait to bring my kids to him as well 🦷read more

    I must say that I am 58 years old and have never been to such a professional business that makes you feel like family. From the front desk to saying goodbye. I called and made an appointment because I was getting married, I received the royal treatment. The girls at the front desk was so kind.... But. My personal contact was with Kaitlyn. I have never seen anyone that can deliver news to you in such a pleasant way. Ali performed my cleaning her professionalism is over the top. Bonaventure Dental Care is full of the greatest people. Usually I am jumping out of the chair but the young lady Aya made sure that I was calm and comfortable. When my extraction was done it was over before I knew it . Now ! Lauren and Margaret made the magic happen they saw to it that my partial was back in time for my wedding. All I can say is that I will never go anywhere else Bonaventure Dental Care is my family's new dental home. Thanks again Bonaventure Dental Care team.Melissa Dunnread more

    BEST dental care in Baton Rouge! The staff is so caring and makes you feel comfortable every time you come in. They are very gentle and ensure you aren’t in pain - this is HUGE! I can’t tell you how many dentists I’ve been to where everything they do hurts 😢 I would leave other places with... the corners on my mouth cracked & bleeding.

    I am not a fan of dental care due to an early and long history of painful experiences. I made an appointment with Bonaventure and had my first visit yesterday. The appointment was a pleasant surprise. Alexis professionally guided me through the intake, X-rays and early visit. I felt like she... cared more about me, not separating me from my money by adding on a bevy of unnecessary procedures. Dr. Bonaventure paid a visit. He first found common experiences with me. He seemlessly transitioned to explaining my care plan. First up was a deep clean to the right side. Dani was excellent. Much like her colleagues, her chair side manor was kind, yet professional. She maintained personal contact with me while completing a deep clean. Post care instructions were clear and concise. I recommend Bonaventure.I have now had multiple visits to Boneventure. Each experience confirms my initial impression. Polite, professional and caring- ighly recommend Bonaventure.read more

I am always impressed how Dr. Bonaventure remembers details of your life even when it's six months between visits. He takes the time to get updates and answer any of your... questions. I will never forget how caring he was to our family after the 2016 flood. My mom had an appointment and my dad and I and my family were working on our flooded homes. Dr. Bonaventure and a coworker brought my mom home after her appointment. We will never forget his thoughtfulness.

    I found Dr. Bonaventure when I moved back to Louisiana almost 5 years ago. The staff is personable and professional. Dr. Bonaventure has top notch equipment and technology. I referred a friend who was new to Louisiana to Dr. Bonaventure and she has been extremely pleased as well. When I had a... change in dental insurance for 1 year and Dr. Bonaventure was not on my insurance, I refused to change dentist and found a way to continue to go to him. I was excited that he was on my plan when I got my new policy at my new job! This is one doctor that I have no plans on changing.read more

    Been going there since I was a kid and they treat you like family that’s for sure. A stellar experience all around and the appointments are quick and fly right by. I’d be upset if I have to find another dentist there’s no team that compares to the team at Bonaventure!

    The staff @ Bonaventure Dental was welcoming patient kind and very friendly... The way I was treated made my visit a pleasure... Their professionalism, care and concern makes me feel very comfortable about coming back... This is a group that I would highly recommend... Even though I only got a... cleaning the anticipation of my next visit gives me no "fear of the dentist" anxiety...read more

    I cracked my tooth on yesterday and needed to find a dentist this morning. One of my coworkers gave me Dr. Bonaventure’s office in information when I called them at 8:45. They asked me if I can come in at 10. I said yes went in. They did x-rays found out what needed to be done. Talked it over with... me. I didn’t have the money to get it done on today so they asked me if I wanted to try cherry financial institute to help me and I did. it was approved and I was able to get the bad tooth pulled, one filled, and Temporary bridge put in all at the same time. So if they didn’t know, they have a new patient they will know soon.I have been going to the same dentist office for about 20 years but they have stopped doing all the work and they have to refer you somewhere else so at this dentist office they do everything so one stop shop for my teeth and I’m done. Thanks, Dr. Bonaventure and your crew for taking care of me. Especially Miss Anna. She knows her stuff.read more

    I recommend Doctor Bonaventure to everyone. He has a great bed side manner and is awesome with his patients. He and his staff are very friendly and caring. They do everything-they can to make you comfortable. I have been seeing him for over 10 years now and have never had a bad experience. My... children also see him and love going and getting their teeth clean by his amazing hygiene team. I highly recommend his office.read more

    I had not been to the dentist in about 16 months due to some medical and personal issues. This required some deeper cleaning than normal. Every one was so patient and caring I could have easily been brought to tears. As long as I am able, I will be a patient at Bonaventure Dental Care .

    Bonaventure Dental Care is the absolute best place to go. I’ve been apprehensive to seek dental care after having bad experiences with other dentists. The care I received was excellent, friendly, and professional. My procedures were painless due to their liberal use of numbing gel prior to... injection. It’s easy to get an appointment and instructions are explained in detail. I drive 2 hours one direction to see this dentist and his awesome staff. They are worth every mile‼️read more

    I felt I had a dental emergency and called them in a panic. They took me in within a couple hours! When I arrived, they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! From the front desk staff to Anna and Jenna! Dr. Stanford came in, looked at my X-rays and calmed me all the way down. I just needed a cleaning and a hug,... lol. Anna did all of the pre-work and her personality is beautiful. Jenna followed her with her “OCD” cleaning and I really appreciated her determination to clean my teeth with a mission in mind 😂.This entire atmosphere is a vibe! I walked out a brand new lady. Thank you Dr. Stafford, Anna and Jenna. You’re my new dentist, for Life! 💐read more

    Dr. Bonaventure is Baton Rouge’s GREATEST DENTIST! He’s kind, caring, personable and professional. He takes as much time as necessary to speak with you to understand your needs, never rushing you. He doesn’t pressure his patients to have unnecessary dental work. My crowns and fillings, he’s done,... are perfect! He does everything in his power to make your experience a pleasant one.The facility is incredible! It’s extremely sterile and is state of the art. I feel very comfortable in this office.Karlee is my hygienist there. She’s fabulous!She’s sweet, considerate, professional and excellent at her job. My teeth look and feel so much better after she works her magic!Nancy took my X-rays. No pain! I was so grateful for her gentleness. She was also kind and efficient.The front desk is top notch. My bill was ready before my departure and was explained to me in detail, by Nancy, including costs and applicable insurance.I actually am looking forward to my next visit in 2 weeks to have an old filling replaced. Never thought in a million years I’d ever say those words!!! Thanks Dr. Bonaventure and staff! Y’all are the BEST!!!!read more

    Went in for my 6 month cleaning. I was greeted cheerfully and was called back within 5 min.
    My hygienist, Carly, was very friendly and professional. She was very thorough and cared about my comfort while she cleaned my teeth.
    I met afterward with my dentist, Dr Gilbert, who reviewed my... xrays and discussed a treatment plan for a problem noted on X-ray.
    I was presented with a treatment plan complete with cost breakdown.
    I highly recommend this dental office.

    Wonderful experience today at Bonaventure dental. Dani did an excellent job cleaning my teeth & also looking into an issue I was concerned about. She accessed the situation & then consulted with Dr Bonaventure who came in and looked into things himself. I’m confident that I now know the cause and... the options for managing / resolving the problem. Happy to be working with such experienced professionals.Thanks!read more

    The detailed dental assessment and feedback were the best I ever had. They took x-rays and pictures to give me a good cleaning and dental care plan. I appreciate when the details of my health are not overlooked but shared and discussed plainly.

    I have vowed not to review this office everytime I leave an appointment, but I’m taking a pause from my vows today ☺️. I just can’t help myself!

    My appointment was for 2:00. It’s 2:36 and I’ve been out of the chair already at least 7 minutes. Fast, courteous and professional... service! Dr. Bonaventure is the kindest, most compassionate dentist, ever! He came in, cracked a few jokes, and gave me a pat on the shoulder on his way out! He was done in record time. There is also not one unfriendly person that works there. You are greeted by name and with huge smiles. Anna actually remembered everything we spoke about at my last visit. 😀

    This is a “lunch hour friendly” dental office. So if you haven’t joined the Bonaventure Family, what are you waiting on? You’ll absolutely love it so much, you’ll find reasons to visit them. I promise.
