About This Provider
Dr. Catherine A. Bishop is a board certified periodontist and dental implant specialist based in Moline, Illinois, where she founded her private practice to serve the Quad Cities, Western Illinois, and Eastern Iowa communities. Holding dual board certifications in both periodontics and dental implants, she brings advanced training across the full range of soft and hard oral tissues, from gum disease treatment and grafting to surgical implant placement, bone grafting, and ridge reconstruction. Patients who have sought care from Dr. Bishop for gum recession and grafting consistently report precise surgical outcomes and natural-looking aesthetic results. Reviewers frequently highlight her ability to explain complex procedures in plain language and her thoroughness in preparing patients for recovery. Her demeanor is routinely described as warm and genuinely invested, a quality that stands out in a specialty that many patients approach with significant anxiety. As the founder of an established local practice, Dr. Bishop collaborates directly with each patient's general dentist to coordinate ongoing care, ensuring implants, gums, and surrounding teeth remain in optimal health long after treatment ends.
