Periocare

About Periocare

PerioCare is a periodontal and dental implant surgery practice located on West Talcott Avenue in the Norwood Park neighborhood on Chicago's northwest side. The practice is located inside Resurrection Medical Center. The practice focuses on treating gum disease and the bone and tissue that support teeth, offering services such as scaling and root planing, gum grafting, bone regeneration, and dental implant placement. Patients dealing with more advanced needs can also be evaluated for procedures like sinus grafting, ridge modification, and All-on-4 implant treatment as part of a broader implant restoration plan.

The practice is led by Dr. Russell J. Cecala, DDS, MS, a periodontist who has been with the practice since 1997 and has lectured nationally on complex bone grafting techniques. Patients considering dental implants can expect an evaluation of gum and bone health first, since a stable foundation is often the key to a successful, long lasting implant. PerioCare emphasizes a conservative approach, encouraging patients to understand their treatment options before moving forward with surgery.
