Restore Missing Teeth with Implants

Fountaingrove's post-2017 rebuild brought an influx of new construction and younger, relocated professionals. Many residents traded crowded Bay Area commutes for the hillside quiet of north Santa Rosa. That same demographic prioritizes quality dental care and wants providers who understand their background in demanding corporate environments. Your dental practice choice reflects your standards elsewhere: precision, evidence-based recommendations, no shortcuts. Bonin Dental Care's independent ownership and rigorous approach align with what Fountaingrove patients expect. The rebuilt community also means more families with school-age children and aging parents, making comprehensive family dental care a priority.

Dental implants are synthetic tooth roots placed surgically into the jawbone, typically composed of titanium due to its biocompatibility and bone-conductive properties. The restoration sequence begins with comprehensive radiographic imaging and bone density assessment using cone-beam CT. Dr. Bonin evaluates implant diameter, length, and angulation based on the future crown position, ensuring optimal esthetics and biomechanics. Osseointegration (bone integration) requires adequate healing time without loading, typically three to six months depending on bone quality and implant surface treatment. Premature loading can compromise integration; Dr. Bonin enforces evidence-based wait times.

The crown phase begins once osseointegration is confirmed. We fabricate a custom abutment (the component connecting implant to crown) and a crown that matches your natural tooth in shade, shape, and contour. Modern materials include zirconia and gold-backed ceramics, each with biomechanical advantages. Long-term success depends on patient compliance with oral hygiene, professional cleanings every three to four months, and avoidance of parafunctional habits like grinding. Annual radiographic monitoring detects early signs of bone loss around the implant, allowing intervention before failure.

Fountaingrove residents often juggle demanding careers and complex family schedules. A failed restoration derails your routine; an implant restores permanence and predictability. Golf at Fountaingrove Club, dinners with colleagues, important presentations, your restoration must perform without thought or maintenance. Implants deliver that invisibility.
