John R. Biancalana, DDS DDS
John R. Biancalana, DDS
DDS
Born and raised in Chicago, Dr. Biancalana spent his childhood summers in rural Oxford, Wisconsin. He attended Chicago’s Lovett Elementary School and Steinmetz High School. He graduated with honors from Carthage College and earned his dental surgery degree from Loyola University Dental School in 1982. Dr. Biancalana first owned a practice in Chicago’s “Back of the Yards” neighborhood and provided dental care in public aid clinics in the Austen and Pilsen districts. In 1982, John opened the suburban dental office near Woodfield Mall, where he practiced for 30 years.
Realizing his dream of being a “hometown” dentist, Dr. Biancalana restored and renovated a historic building acquired in Burlington, Illinois to its original glory. Thus Burlington Dental was born! So in 2007, the Burlington community celebrated their centennial year and welcomed their very own dentist to town. Dr. Biancalana then split his time, practicing in both of his offices.
During his career spanning over 40 years, Dr. Biancalana has received many accolades. He has been ranked by Chicago “Consumer’s Checkbook” Magazine as one of the area’s top dentists and was awarded “Top Doc” honors by Dr. Oz of the Fox network.
Having been a lifetime resident of the Midwest, Dr. Biancalana relocated to Alabama with his family to enjoy the pleasant weather, pastoral tranquility and recreational lakes of the state.
Dr. Biancalana is a father of four. Gabriella is a graduate of The University of Alabama at Birmingham, and Sofia is a graduate of John A. Gupton College of Mortuary Science in Nashville, Tennessee. Lucca and Bella are in high school.
