About This Provider

Dr. Richard F. Egan is a board-certified periodontist and founder of Highland Park Periodontics in Highland Park, Illinois. Over 24 years of specialized practice, he has built a reputation grounded in clinical precision and patient trust. Dr. Egan earned his DDS from Loyola University School of Dentistry, completed a hospital-based residency at Loyola University Medical Center, and received advanced periodontology training at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. In 2008, the American Board of Periodontology awarded him Diplomate status, the specialty's most rigorous voluntary credential, requiring a written examination and case-based assessment that goes beyond standard state licensure. He holds a staff position at North Shore University Health System Hospital, extending his capacity to manage medically complex patients. His treatment philosophy centers on conservation: surgical options are introduced only when non-surgical methods have reached their clinical limit. Patients consistently describe his approach as trustworthy and point to the quality of his outcomes as a standout element of care. Dr. Egan remains active in the American Academy of Periodontology, Academy of Osseointegration, American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Chicago Dental Society.
