About This Provider
Dr. Robert Baima holds a distinction that very few dental specialists achieve: board certification in both Periodontology and Prosthodontics. This dual training means he understands how gum health and tooth replacement connect as a single system rather than separate problems. After earning his DDS at Marquette University School of Dentistry in 1975, he pursued advanced periodontal training at the Medical College of Virginia, then completed specialized study in prosthodontics, dental implantology, and maxillofacial prosthetics at UCLA Medical Center and the VA Medical Center in Los Angeles. With 49 years in clinical practice, Dr. Baima currently serves as Director of Implant Dentistry for the General Practice Dental Residency Program at Advocate Illinois Masonic Hospital in Chicago, training the next generation of implant dentists. He has delivered nearly 200 formal academic lectures at dental conventions nationally and internationally, published peer-reviewed research, and contributed chapters to dental textbooks on fixed prosthodontics and implant dentistry. Patients working with Dr. Baima gain access to a clinician whose credentials span surgery, restoration, and academic leadership in the field.
