About

Dr. Malik Algrouz earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) College of Dentistry. During his time at UIC, he was recognized with the Senior Student Dental Award by the American Academy of General Dentistry, honoring his dedication to comprehensive patient care and clinical excellence.

Driven by a desire to advance his clinical expertise, Dr. Algrouz returned to UIC to pursue a Specialty Certificate in Endodontics and a Master’s degree in Oral Sciences. His advanced training emphasized minimally invasive root canal therapy, microsurgery, and the integration of emerging technologies—particularly laser-activated irrigation and novel disinfection methods.

Dedicated to education and lifelong learning, Dr. Algrouz currently serves as a part-time clinical instructor in the Endodontic Department at UIC College of Dentistry. He is pursuing board certification and remains an active member of the American Association of Endodontists, the American Dental Association, the Coolidge Endodontic Study Club, and the Chicago Dental Society.

Outside of practicing endodontics, Dr. Algrouz enjoys weightlifting, running, watching sports, and spending quality time with family and friends. He especially cherishes time spent with his wife and their two beloved children, Talia and Jaad—who keep him on his toes far more than any root canal ever could
