OUR HISTORY

A Legacy of Smiles, Since the 1950s

Our practice has proudly cared for generations of families in the community since the 1950s. It was originally founded by the renowned Dr. Arthur Dugoni—one of the few individuals in the U.S. or Canada to have a dental school named in his honor.

In 1960, Dr. Charles Bona took over the practice and devoted more than four decades to providing gentle, trusted care to thousands of children and families. In 2003, Dr. Bona met Dr. Kenny Tse, and a strong mentorship began—built on shared values of compassion, integrity, and clinical excellence.

Dr. Kenny Tse purchased the practice in 2004 and continued Dr. Bona’s legacy of patient-centered care. In 2009, he rebranded the practice as Chompers Pediatric Dentistry, creating a modern, kid-focused dental home designed to make every child feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.

Today, Chompers continues to honor its deep roots while delivering advanced pediatric and orthodontic care in a warm, welcoming environment—carrying forward a tradition of smiles that spans more than 70 years.

WHAT PARENTS SAY ABOUT US

Chompers remains the best pediatric dentist office we’ve experienced. We’ve had both good and bad experiences previously and once we found chompers we were hooked. Thank you for always caring for my kids, never shaming, always encouraging, partnering with parents, and generally just being wonderful.
