Dr. Jessica Bertoglio is the owner and founder of the Toothery. She had the vision to create the Toothery in 2013 so that people could have a better dental experience. With 11 years of associate experience prior to opening the Toothery, she gained valuable skills in all phases of restorative dentistry and learned ways in which dentistry could be delivered in a more compassionate, efficient way. Every aspect of the Toothery was designed to be welcoming, comfortable, and as Dr. Jess says "not scary". She also made it a priority to incorporate the newest, best technology to make the patient experience more comfortable. Dr. Jess received her bachelors in Biology from University of Illinois in 1998 then continued at UIC College of Dentistry for her DDS degree. After dental school graduation in 2002 she did a year of hospital dentistry at the University of Iowa. This year in the hospital setting was instrumental for her love of learning surgery and working on medically compromised patients. After her hospital residency, she entered private practice and dove into continuing education on all phases of dentistry but especially surgery and digital dentistry. With advanced classes from the Garg Implant Institute, Gordan Christanson, The American Academy of Osseointegration, the Shatkin Institute, and the CEREC institute, she progressed her knowledge and expertise on digital and implant dentistry. As time progressed, she implemented complex implant dentistry into her practice and it is an area of focus that she really enjoys.
