About This Provider
Dr. Thomas F. Schneider, Jr., DDS has practiced periodontics on Chicago's Northwest Side for more than three decades. He founded Irving Park Periodontics in 1988 after completing his specialty training in periodontics at Loyola University, the same institution where he earned his undergraduate degree. His DDS comes from the University of Illinois College of Dentistry. Dr. Schneider holds dual licensure as both a licensed dentist and a licensed specialist in Periodontics in the State of Illinois, a credential that reflects advanced residency-level training beyond dental school. Throughout his career he has served as an academic instructor at both Loyola University and the University of Illinois College of Dentistry, shaping the training of future dental professionals. He takes a conservative approach to care, recommending surgery only when non-surgical options will not produce lasting results. Patients who have worked with him on implant cases describe his manner as professional and genuinely comfortable, with consistent praise for clinical outcomes and thorough communication throughout treatment. Irving Park Periodontics also serves the community in both English and Polish.
