A periodontist is a dental specialist who treats the supporting structures of the teeth, including the gums, roots and bone. Diagnosis is very important to us, and emphasis is placed on prevention. Our job is to recognize disease, determine if it is advancing and then stop its progression so you don’t lose your teeth. If you’ve already lost teeth, we can help plan, place and maintain dental implant replacements.

A Real “Preferred” Provider
As the son of a respected dentist, Dr. John Borello is carrying on a family tradition of dental excellence. And he’s been building on that legacy since 1980 by helping thousands of patients achieve beautiful, healthier smiles. Dozens of physicians and dentists throughout the Glen Ellyn area trust Dr. Borello’s care for themselves, their family, their friends and their staff members because of the advanced, quality treatment Dr. Borello provides and the personal attention he offers each patient.

Dr. Borello’s Gum Care
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is no laughing matter. If you’re over 35 years of age, there’s a 75% chance that you have some form of gum disease. What’s more, gum diseases are known as “silent diseases.” They are painless until their advanced stages. If left untreated, periodontal disease can result in:

• Bad breath
• Red, swollen and bleeding gums
• Both bone and tooth loss
