Your source for expert dental health information

When it comes to your oral health, you want the right specialist for the job, especially if you’re dealing with gum disease, bone loss, or missing teeth. While many general dentists offer implants and gum treatments, there’s a big difference between basic training and the advanced skills of a board-certified periodontist.

At Fontana Periodontics & Implantology our mission is simple: to give patients with complex dental needs the highest level of care, backed by science and delivered with honesty. If you’ve been wondering whether you should see a periodontist, here’s why it matters—and what makes our office a trusted choice in the Inland Empire.

Specialized Training You Can Trust

A periodontist is a dentist who has completed years of additional education focused solely on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as the placement of dental implants. But Dr. Tobias Boehm took this even further, earning a Ph.D. in Oral Biology and becoming a board-certified Diplomate of both the American Board of Periodontology and the International Congress of Oral Implantology.

What does this mean for you as a patient? It means your care comes from someone who not only performs these procedures every day, but also understands the underlying biology and how to achieve the most predictable, long-lasting results.

Periodontists are the implant experts

Implants are surgically placed into your jawbone so you deserve an expert that knows the ins and outs of gum health.
The success of your implant depends on more than just placing your implant and slapping on a tooth-colored crown. It requires careful evaluation of your bone, gums, and bite, as well as managing any issues that could affect healing. At Boehm Dental Specialists, we:

Use digital imaging to plan implant placement with precision
Offer bone grafting and sinus lifts to restore areas where bone is missing
Treat gum disease before implant placement to ensure a healthy foundation
Take a science-based approach to maximize success rates

Increase your candidacy for dental implants

Gum health is at the heart of your overall oral health. Advanced gum disease (periodontitis) can cause tooth loss, bone deterioration, and even reduce your candidacy for dental implants. As a periodontist, Dr. Boehm is highly trained in:

• Scaling and root planing for early to moderate gum disease
• Periodontal surgery to restore damaged tissue and bone
• Gum grafting to treat recession and protect your teeth

Whether you need preventive care, surgical treatment, or both, our goal is to preserve as much of your natural smile as possible.

Honesty and integrity are the pillars that guide your care
We know that many of our patients have been dealing with dental problems for a long time—and may feel anxious or discouraged about treatment. That’s why our approach is always:

• No pressure – You get clear options, costs, and timelines so you can decide what’s right for you.
• Respect for your time – We streamline your visits and explain every step of the process.
• Comfort-focused care – From a welcoming atmosphere to advanced diagnostic tools, we make the process as stress-free as possible.
