Park Ridge Periodontics, Dental Implants & Endodontics

Definitely my best experience ever in any type of dental office. If you have any anxiety this is the absolute best place to come and the surgeons are very skilled. My personal experience was with Dr. Josie DiFranco and she is a phenomenal surgeon with the best bed side manner I have ever experienced from a medical professional. The staff at the front desk and the assistants are extremely friendly, kind and professional as well. I don't think you could possibly find a better place to go for dental surgery.
Dr. Charles F. DiFranco
In Memoriam
Dr. Chuck was the founder of DiFranco Dental Specialists. He practiced in Park Ridge for nearly 35 years, treating his patients with respect, dignity, and a gentle blend of humor and his gift for song. Dr. Chuck passed away in July of 2020. He is and will be sorely missed at our practice. His legacy lives on with his sisters and his son who continue to treat patients the way Dr. Chuck always did, like family.
Dr. Chuck DiFranco Sr.'s love for music was a reflection of his vibrant spirit and love for life. Our practice wanted to honor the incredible legacy of Dr. Chuck by sharing with you a few of his favorite songs that were recorded with his band Dinner @8. Let the music he loved be a reminder of the beautiful moments we shared with him!
