Dr. Chowdhury received his dental degree from the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine where he continued and completed his residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry and Implant Fellowship.
Dr. Chowdhury specializes in dental implants and is board-certified. His training includes a Dental University based implant fellowship program which was specific to dental implants only. He is one of the very few graduates of this type of program worldwide. He has also developed an expertise in advanced dentistry which has been the focus of his continuing education efforts.
Dr. Chowdhury believes in full patient-oriented dental care treated with patient empowered decisions.

Patient dental education is essential in treating patients. Educating patients on their own dental concerns and needs can lead to better results and help the overall outcome of care. Giving patients the autonomy to choose what treatment plan best fits their needs and financial limitations lessens the risk of unforeseen and unplanned circumstances.
