Director of Strategic Growth
As a young son to his dental technician father, Angelo, Bruce Bonafiglia always enjoyed spending time in the lab with Dad and admired the dental technician profession. Since officially joining the laboratory in 1975 as a Ceramist, Bruce became President of the company in 1986 when his father and founder, Angelo, retired. Bruce reached recognition as a Nationally Certified Dental technician in both Ceramics and Crown and Bridge Substructures. He has steadily charted BonaDent’s growth from 8 employees in a single laboratory to nearly 300 dental professionals within six lab divisions serving dentists across the United States. With laboratories in New York, South Carolina, and Florida, Bruce created the most technologically advanced and employee-friendly workplaces in the industry, which enables BonaDent to attract and retain the best people in the industry as well as create lab mentors that assist dentists on a daily basis. After 50 years with the company, and now in his role as Director of Strategic Growth, Bruce continues to work closely with his daughters, Daniele and Erin, along with the entire Executive Team, to build BonaDent into an industry leader known as the Anterior & Complex Case Specialists. The BonaDent family of labs continues to grow, proud to serve the dental community for years to come.
