About This Provider

Dr. Salvador Nares holds a DDS, MS, and PhD in periodontics, placing him among a small group of periodontists who combine active clinical practice with rigorous scientific research. He serves as Graduate Program Director at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Dentistry, training future periodontists at both the student and resident level. In 2009, he became the inaugural recipient of the AAP Foundation's Nevins Teaching and Clinical Research Fellowship, a distinction reserved for clinicians who connect laboratory science directly to patient care. Dr. Nares views periodontal disease as a convergence of biology, microbiology, immunology, and wound healing, and that scientific perspective shapes every clinical decision he makes. His active research portfolio, which includes NIH funding applications and manuscripts in progress, means his treatment approach is grounded in current evidence rather than routine protocol. For patients facing gum disease or considering implant surgery, that depth of expertise translates to more precise diagnosis and better-informed care. Chapel Hill Periodontics and Implants serves patients in Chicago, IL.
