About This Provider
Dr. Timothy P. Walsh is a periodontist and co-founder of Walsh & Vittori Periodontics, with offices in Berwyn and Westmont, Illinois. After earning his DDS from Loyola University School of Dentistry in 1979, he completed a two-year advanced specialty residency in periodontics at the University of Illinois, building the clinical foundation of a career that has now spanned more than 43 years. Dr. Walsh treats gum disease at every stage, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis with significant bone loss, and performs dental implants, gum grafting, the Pinhole® Surgical Technique, LANAP laser surgery, and crown lengthening. He uses Cone Beam 3D imaging to guide implant placements with surgical precision and applies Piezosurgery for procedures that require careful bone modification. Patients consistently note that Dr. Walsh looks for ways to preserve natural teeth before recommending extraction, explains each step of treatment clearly, and keeps pain well-managed during and after complex procedures. His 4.9-star Google rating across 369 reviews reflects both clinical expertise and a patient-first approach that has defined his practice in the western Chicago suburbs for over four decades.
