Meet the Doctors

Deepak Agarwal, DMD

I was born and raised in Chicago. I graduated from Niles North High School in Skokie, IL in 1993. I then attended the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Honors College. I graduated in 1997 with a Bachelors in Biology and Psychology. The following semester, I started dental school at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville School of Dental Medicine. I graduated in 2001 with my Doctorate in Dental Medicine.

Our office has been active in the community, volunteering at the Pacific Asian Community Center health fairs. We are currently involved in the Give Kids a Smile program, visiting three different schools for dental health month. I am also a member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and the Chicago Dental Society.

My wife and I currently live in the Naperville area with our two sons. I love spending time with my family and of course, try to golf whenever I can. I believe everyone should be happy with their smile. We here at Todays Dental of Plainfield would like to create a beautiful smile for you and your family.

Thank you,

Deepak Agarwal, DMD
