About Gargiulo Periodontics
Gargiulo Periodontics is a dental practice on West Peterson Avenue in the Forest Glen area of Chicago, Illinois. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Friendly staff, clean office and Dr. Gargiulo is a skilled professional. She takes her time and I've been very happy with the results.
Went here for a removal and an implant. Dr Aslam is incredible! She was extremely empathetic and thorough with explaining the process from procedure to healing. Her demeanor gave me a lot of comfort and confidence. Everyone at the office is just as fantastic. From front desk who always greet me by name (and one time helped me with my bike), to the assistants who helped make me feel incredibly comfortable. I'm towards the end of the healing process and grateful I went to Gargiulo Periodontics.
very pleased with the service and staff. they made me feel very comfortable.
I love Gargiulo Periodontics! Everyone in the office is so nice and makes me feel so comfortable.
They are super nice and and very thorough
I wouldn’t trust another periodontist. DR. GLORIA GARIGIULO is the best, bar none! She is gentle, incredibly patient oriented and runs a seamless office. Her staff is friendly, efficient and very professional. The office is spotless and comfortable. This is professional excellence.
Saw Dr Gargiulo for cleaning out and stabilizing an old implant. She made me feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the procedure. Good follow-up. Great staff. Highly recommended.
I am the first to admit that I am not an easy dental patient. Having let my hygiene slip for an embarrassing amount of time, my mouth is not in great condition. However, though I am embarrassed by myself, I never once felt even an ounce of judgement from Dr. Aslam of any of the staff at this facility. Dr. Aslam is kind, empathetic, patient, professional, and great at her job. I have moderate anxiety about dental work, as well as an extremely sensitive gag reflex, which can make having a bunch of fingers, tools, and gauze in my mouth a challenge. At my gum graft today, we made it through two minor panic attacks on my end, and Dr. Aslam took great care of me throughout. I am so grateful to have been referred to this practice, and to Dr. Aslam specifically! Looking forward to seeing how this gum graft heals, and to hopefully having a healthier mouth again.
Dr. Gargiulo and her team are absolutely incredible. I have been seeing her for several years for gum recession and we have worked out a plan that is reasonable, affordable, and centered around my needs. She is kind, thorough, and an extremely talented surgeon. Her office staff, especially Alejandra and Erin, are also truly wonderful. I like that you can reach out via phone or text - super convenient!!
I had a great experience today with care, as I do have a muscle and bone disease so I'm very uncomfortable. But Michelle who worked with me gave absolute 100 % attention to my physical needs in making me comfortable. Thank you. I definitely will recommend Dr. Gargiulo office when having a deep cleaning done, they care. Paul
