Meet Dr. Aurelia Bonham
Aurelia Bonham, DDS, MS
Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics
I love seeing the positive changes that a beautiful smile creates for my patients! Improved confidence, self-image, dental health, and the simple joy that a great smile brings make my job so rewarding! I love hearing about my patents’ goals and achievements and am very fortunate to be able to participate in their success by giving them a beautiful smile.
Education and Experience
I am committed to ongoing education because I truly care about my patients. They deserve up-to-date orthodontic treatment that is based on sound research and science. I frequently attend regional, national and international scientific orthodontic meetings to keep current with advances that will benefit my patients. I served as an orthodontic adjunct clinical faculty member for two years at Arizona AT Stillwell School of Dentistry, and entered private practice in 2006. I am a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.

Community and Family
I have been involved in community service for many years, especially when it involves keiki. Whether supporting the Ronald McDonald House, Free Dental Clinics, Child’s Fund, or Operation Smile, I feel it is both a privilege and responsibility to help in as many ways as I can.
One of the most wonderful aspects about Maui is the people of the island. I love working with my husband, Dr. Paul. We both enjoy spending time with our friends who have become like family to both of us. Paul and I have a new baby boy, Luke. I love being a mom. Having a child is a true blessing. I have gained a new level of respect and appreciation for every mom. We love taking our dog and the baby to the beach, and enjoy staying active. I love ballroom dancing, stand-up paddling, hiking, yoga, and traveling.
