Meet Dr. Jeff Bueno

I was born, raised, and received my education in the Bay Area. I received my Bachelor's degree from California State University, Hayward, and my dental degree from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry, graduating with honors. I grew up in San Leandro and moved to Livermore after getting married to my beautiful wife, Christine. I have owned Pacific Dental Care and Fastbraces® since 1991.

I extensively studied the newest techniques in restoring teeth to near natural strength and beauty with the CEREC®: SAME DAY RESTORATIONS system. Since 1991, my partner and I have placed thousands of same-day restorations. Before CEREC, we would have had to place an old-fashioned crown and taken at least two appointments to get the finished product. While there are still some instances where we still do the old style crowns, 90% of the teeth we restore can be done with a long-lasting, great-looking, ceramic restoration, in a single visit. Can your dentist do that?

If you are missing teeth, I have extensive training in placing and restoring implants. Implants surgical techniques are constantly being updated and improved. To keep up requires constant training. I attend courses regularly and strive to use the latest techniques so our family of patients is well taken of.

Dentistry is my passion and I continue to enjoy this great profession after working over 30+ years.

My love is my family. My wife and I have three great young adults we are proud to call our kids. We spend as much time with them as time and distance allows, since they have each moved out of the nest. In our spare time, we try to travel, visit and spend time with family, and to support our local community. Volunteering as a recovery dive team member on the Alameda County Sheriff's Dive Team since 1998, my teammates and I have offered closure to many survivors of tragedies. Along with my family and business partner, I have also dedicated thousands of hours to Dentists Against Cancer which was a charity dedicated to helping underprivileged women financially as they underwent care for breast cancer. Over the years, we raised over $150,000 for this cause.

We have tried to instill the sense of family and community into our children and hope that they will likewise pass this down to their children. And even though they seem to all be leaving, I support the Raiders, A's, and Warriors. I know, I know.

Meet The Staff

I am a proud Senior Master Affiliate provider of Fastbraces®Technology. Fastbraces® offers fast, safe, easy, and affordable braces for adults and children in the Pleasanton, California and entire Tri-Valley area. Want straight teeth in a short time. How about from 3 months to about a year? Fastbraces® may be your answer. About 80% of the people seeking straighter teeth through orthodontics qualify as a Fastbraces® patient.

I am also a provider of the Invisalign® “Clear Aligner” orthodontic technique. Invisalign is a great solution if you have had braces in the past and "forgot" to wear your retainer and suffered relapse. With the new one week protocol, treatment times have never been faster and more reliable.

I have dedicated thousands of hours to advanced continuing education since 1990, which allows me to keep current with the ever-changing technology and procedures in dentistry in order to offer them to our patients at Pacific Dental Care and Fastbraces®. I am committed to providing state-of-the-art dentistry in a friendly environment.

In 2009, my business partner and I started Dentists Against Cancer, a non-profit charity dedicated to helping in the fight against breast cancer. Proceeds from annual fund raising efforts go to help underprivileged women receive financial aid as they battle breast cancer. The Women In Need Fund at Stanford Healthcare - ValleyCare in Pleasanton is responsible for distributing the money raised by Dentists Against Cancer. To date, more than $113,000 has been donated to the fund. In 2010, I was on the ABC game show “Wipeout” and was trying to win money for our charity.

I came in second place due to a technical issue, so I did not get the money for the charity. But, I did have a good time. To watch the episode, search for the episode called “Anderson Can’t Dance.”

In my time away from the office, I spend as much time as possible with my lovely wife and grown children. Our oldest son is a real estate attorney with the Weston Law Group in Walnut Creek and on the board of Eighth Icon Holdings; our middle son is a graduate of Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and is a STEM teacher in the Bay Area; and a media consultant for Eighth Icon Holdings; and our daughter is a graduate of San Diego State University. She works in Pleasanton at an out-patient facility helping people of all ages with eating disorders. My wife and I are very proud "almost" empty nesters. I enjoy all Bay Area sports; and am an A’s, Warriors, and Sharks fan; and enjoy the rare day off by spending it with my family.

My wife and I try our best to teach our children to give to the community they live in. To that end, our breast cancer charity is one way that we give. Another is my time as a volunteer for the Alameda County Sheriff's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Services on the Recovery Dive Team. I first joined this great group of people in 1997. Our team is comprised of almost 40 volunteers from all walks of life from lawyers, to software developers, to, yes, a couple of dentists. Our task is to find objects, weapons, or victims in the bodies of water of Alameda County or adjoining counties seeking our help. This requires monthly training and meetings to stay current with safety practices and to ensure that we don't have accidents while trying to achieve our goal. The thousands of hours our team dedicates each year saves the county hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. Our efforts help the people in our community and it means a lot to give to the community in which we live. If you would like to help, let me know.

So go out and find a way you can help your community. It could be as simple as walking a neighbor's dog to joining a larger group. Each of us can do a little, and together we can do a lot.

Patient Testimonials

We love our patients like family and we're humbled to know they feel the same. We've collected some of their words and we look forward to meeting new friends.

I've been a patient several years. Kind and professional staff. Dr. Bueno has patched me up more than once. He is an excellent doctor. If a filling will do the job, he won't pitch a crown. Best dentist I ever had at numbing me up before a procedure. Highly recommend.

It is priceless to have a trustworthy, highly competent, thoughtful dentist and Dr. Bueno checks all the boxes. I used to be terrified of going to the dentist, but Dr. Bueno has really changed all that. I’ve been his patient for almost 15 years now and I’ve never been subjected to anything except the best in pain management and care.

Very friendly and professional staff. We’ve been patients of Dr. Bueno and staff for years. They do good work! They are good at scheduling so that the wait time is minimal which is a bonus when making appointments during a work day!
