About This Provider

Dr. Devang Thakkar is a Board Certified periodontist serving patients across the southwest Chicago suburbs and northwest Indiana. He earned his D.D.S. from New York University College of Dentistry and completed his specialty residency in periodontics at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in 2004. Board certification by the American Board of Periodontology places him among a select group of periodontists who have demonstrated clinical competency beyond the standard requirements for specialty licensure. Dr. Thakkar focuses his practice on diagnosing and treating gum disease, performing cosmetic periodontal procedures, and placing dental implants for patients who have lost teeth. He practices at Endodontic and Periodontic Associates, Ltd., the largest multi-specialty dental practice in the Midwest, where patients receive periodontic and endodontic care under one roof across nine convenient locations. Dr. Thakkar also serves as Secretary-Treasurer and Co-Chair of the Membership Committee for the Will County Dental Society, a sustained leadership commitment that reflects his investment in the broader dental community.
