About This Provider

Dr. Christopher J. Couri is a periodontist serving Peoria, Illinois, the city where he grew up and to which he returned in 1999 to lead a practice his father had operated for three decades. That practice is now in its ninth decade of service to Central Illinois, making it one of the most established periodontal offices in the region. Dr. Couri earned his dental training at Saint Louis University and the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, then completed a three-year specialty residency in periodontics at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, earning a Master of Science degree. His research has been published in the Journal of the American Academy of Periodontology and multiple dental journals. He serves as a clinical instructor in the hygiene program at Illinois Central College and as a periodontal instructor in OSF Hospital's General Practice Residency program. He holds membership in eight professional organizations, including the Pierre Fauchard Academy and the International College of Dentists, both of which limit membership to dentists recognized for professional achievement. Dr. Couri provides the full scope of periodontal treatment, from non-surgical therapy and laser procedures to implant placement, bone regeneration, and soft tissue grafting.
