About Perio Implant Chicago

Based on West North Avenue in the Goose Island area of Chicago, Illinois, Perio Implant Chicago is a dental practice serving the area. Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Perio Implant Chicago located in Chicago?
Perio Implant Chicago is on West North Avenue in the Goose Island area of Chicago, Illinois (60642).
What days is Perio Implant Chicago open?
Perio Implant Chicago is open Monday through Friday. Contact the practice through this page to confirm current appointment times before travelling.
What services does Perio Implant Chicago offer?
Listed services at Perio Implant Chicago include Gum Disease Treatment. The full list is shown on this page.
Why do my gums bleed even though I brush twice a day?
Bleeding usually reflects where you are cleaning rather than how often. Plaque left along the gumline and between teeth causes inflammation there, which is exactly the area brushing alone tends to miss, so flossing or interdental brushes matter.
What are the early signs of gum disease?
Gums that bleed when brushing or flossing, redness and puffiness along the gumline, and persistent bad breath are the usual first indicators. Bleeding is the one most often dismissed, and it is the clearest early warning.
Is it normal for teeth to be sensitive to cold?
Mild, brief sensitivity is common and often relates to exposed root surfaces or worn enamel. Sensitivity that lingers after the cold is removed is more significant and worth having examined, as it can indicate the nerve is involved.

I am so happy and relieved to have landed a wonderful periodontist after moving back home to Chicago from California. From the moment I walked into Dr. Sheppard's office, I felt comfortable. I found Dr. Sheppard to be personable and highly skilled in her profession. She explained her exam findings in a way that was easy to understand. I could quickly tell that Dr Sheppard cares about her patients and wants the best for them. Her staff members are super polite and professional. Thank you, Dr. Sheppard and team!

Punctual, skillful, and competent. Removed an infected front tooth without breaking its roots, which, evidently, is a common occurrence with less-skilled doctors. No pain or complications.

I would like to thank Perio Implant Chicago, Dr. Sheppard, and staff for giving me the best dental treatment I have ever experienced. I had an overgrowth that developed on my gum area. I was sad and worried. My daughter found Perio Implant Chicago and said the reviews were outstanding. All was proven when I seen my results. Dr. Sheppard removed the overgrowth with a laser and it looks like it never happened. I also must mention how well the staff made me feel right at home. The quality of any system is based on how well its parts function together. Well, they say nothing is perfect and I disagree. I’m perfectly happy I went to Perio Implant Chicago and I encourage you to put your trust in them as well. 5 Stars!

My dentist recommended me to Perio Implant Chicago to have a broken tooth removed which could not be saved. I was very nervous, but Dr. Kimberley Sheppard and her staff were outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Sheppard is patient, kind and very understanding. She explained everything before she started and took the time to answer all of my questions without making me feel rushed. She made sure that the whole experience was pain free. She also called to follow up to see how I was doing. Her staff was very efficient, as well, and remembered me the second time I came in. If you need to have dental work done, including implants, she is the one to call. You won’t be disappointed! She makes an unpleasant procedure nothing to fear. Thank you! Lois Berger

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sheppard for a more complicated periodontal procedure, and I’ve had a truly excellent experience. From the beginning, she took the time to walk me through all of my options and set very clear expectations, which made the entire process feel much more manageable. Her bedside manner is outstanding-she’s calm, thorough, and genuinely cares about her patients’ comfort. Appointments are always on time, which I really appreciate, and the entire team is incredibly friendly and welcoming. They create a very positive and professional environment from start to finish. One thing that really stood out to me is the follow-up care.They check in after procedures to make sure you’re doing well, which shows how much they care beyond just the appointment itself. As both a patient and someone who refers patients to this office for periodontal care, I feel very confident recommending Dr. Sheppard, Dr. Sabzehei and their team.
