Partners in dental health:
You, your dentist and Dr. John S. Borello.
As a gum specialist, Dr. John S. Borello relies on referrals from general dentists. To date, other dentists have referred thousands of patients to Dr. Borello. If you’ve been referred to our office, it’s because your dentist trusts Dr. Borello...and is concerned about damage that could be occurring below your gumline. Damage that could threaten your teeth. Dr. Borello will work closely with your dentist to restore you to excellent dental health. With Dr. Borello, you can be sure you’ll always get effective, compassionate periodontal care with a personal touch. In fact, many of Dr. Borello’s patients are other dentists, their family, their friends and their staff members, too!

How you get gum disease — and why you shouldn’t.
Gum disease, the leading cause of tooth loss, is caused by a steady plaque buildup under your teeth’s gumline. This “plaque” is bacteria that infect the gums, causing them to swell and, often, bleed. Left untreated, it will spread and destroy the bone structure supporting the teeth, leading to eventual tooth loss. Improper dental hygiene is often the culprit. Contributing factors to gum disease include medical diseases, stress and smoking. It can’t be emphasized enough that gum disease often has no symptoms. That’s why checkups are vital and, if your dentist has referred you to us, why you should begin your treatment plan promptly. Once Dr. Borello begins your treatment plan, you’ll notice the difference. And if you follow your plan diligently, your mouth will feel better and your smile will look better, too.
