About Dr. Bonilla

One of our 8 full-time specialists

“Every tooth in a man's head is more valuable than a diamond,” wrote Cervantes. Dr. Bonilla has built his career on that idea.

He leads implant surgery at New Smile Dental Group: single implants, full-arch All-on-4 to All-on-8, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and the subperiosteal cases that most clinics decline. He trained in Costa Rica and Brazil, completed formal implant certification at OCO Biomedical corporate headquarters in the United States, and returns to international courses every year, mainly in implantology and cosmetics.

Every case he takes is planned on a 3D CBCT scan and executed in our own surgical suite, with your new teeth made by the lab downstairs. Thousands of patients from the U.S., Canada, and Europe have left his chair with a fixed smile.
