The dental-duo are committed to comprehensive education, training, patient service, and respect, put forth in a friendly environment.

“Our ultimate mission is to deliver the highest quality standards of periodontal and dental implant care to our patients. Whether you are looking for single or multiple implants or are in need of a consult on bruxism or crown lengthening, you can be assured our highest priority is to provide state-of-the-art treatment with a pledge to excellence in every aspect of our practice” as stated on their website. 

While in high school, Dr. Barber spent her free period helping in the Special Education classes each day. After Dental Hygiene School, she worked for the State of Illinois at Howe Developmental Center. She took care of the many severely mentally handicapped residents at the facility; not only doing cleanings and X-rays but scheduling dentists to come in the evenings and treat the residents who needed advanced care.

A graduate of the University of Illinois at Chicago, Dr. Barber taught there as an Associate Professor of Periodontics for more than 10 years. 

During her post-grad residency, she started going into St. Basil’s Free People’s Clinic to get as much treatment completed in an evening as was possible each week. 

A regular participant in a number of international conferences, Dr. Barber is involved with the American Academy of Periodontal and Restorative Conference. 

Since the late 1980’s, she has been an active member of the American Association of Periodontists, the Midwest Society of Periodontology, the Illinois Society of Periodontists, the American Dental Association, the Illinois State Dental Society, the Chicago Dental Society, as well as the National Association of Professional Women.

Periodontics is the dental specialty focusing exclusively on the inflammatory disease that destroys the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth. A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants.

On a more personal note, Dr. Barber is a pet lover and practices her green thumb during breaks between patient visits.
