About This Provider
Dr. Michael Chutich, D.D.S., M.S., brings more than three decades of high-stakes clinical experience to his role as lead endodontist at Midwestern University Clinics in Downers Grove, Illinois. After earning his D.D.S. from Loyola University Dental School in 1980, he spent 30 years serving in the United States Navy Dental Corps, where he held numerous clinical and leadership positions that demanded technical precision and sound diagnostic judgment. He earned his Certificate in Endodontics and a Master of Science in Oral Biology from Northwestern University Dental School in 1995, completing his specialty residency as a Navy out-service resident. In 2014, Dr. Chutich joined Midwestern University's faculty, where he now directs all phases of endodontic instruction, from didactic coursework and pre-clinical training to live patient care. His dual identity as active clinician and faculty lead means every patient benefits from care grounded in current research and the refined technique built over thousands of complex cases. For patients facing root canal treatment, Dr. Chutich's military-forged discipline and academic rigor deliver an uncommon level of specialist confidence.
