About This Provider

Dr. Geraldine Difranco is a periodontist based in Palos Hills, Illinois, with a career built on deep specialty training and sustained academic engagement. She earned her dental hygiene degree from Loyola University in 1981, her DDS from Loyola University Dental School in 1985, and completed her periodontal specialty program at Loyola in 1987. That three-stage educational path gives her a full-spectrum understanding of how gum health connects to overall oral function, from preventive hygiene through surgical periodontal treatment. After completing her specialty training, Dr. Difranco joined Loyola University as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Periodontics, teaching from 1985 to 1987 at the same institution where she trained. From 2002 to 2004, she served as a Professional Speaker for Orapharma, a Johnson and Johnson company, presenting periodontal treatment education to dental professionals across the country. She holds memberships in the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, Chicago Dental Society, and Illinois Society of Periodontists, among others. Her Palos Hills practice is currently accepting new patients and is in-network with eleven major insurance carriers.
