Meet Us Dan Indech, DDS
Dr. Indech received his dental degree from the University of Western Ontario, London, Canada in 1988. He then completed a hospital based General Practice Residency and received a certificate in hospital dentistry. This program focused on treatment in the areas of geriatric care, management of medically compromised and handicapped patients, organ transplantation, trauma management, oncology, infectious diseases, oral and maxillofacial surgery, anaesthesia and emergency dentistry.
In September 1989, he began his specialty training in Periodontics at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. He obtained a Certificate in Periodontics in 1991 with training in Dental Implantology. He achieved Fellowship to the Royal College of Dentists of Canada in his specialty a few years later. This designation is similar to board certification in the USA. His interest in the field of Dental Implantology led him to pursue additional training at the University of Toronto, Northwestern University in Chicago and at the birthplace of dental implants in Gotenborg, Sweden. He has been involved with Dental Implantology since the early days of development in North America and has successfully placed over 10,000 implants for patients with varied clinical needs ranging from single teeth replacements to full mouth rehabilitation.
Before moving to Arizona in 1998, Dr. Indech had a successful practice in Toronto. Since 1998, he has been in full-time practice in Phoenix and Scottsdale. He is experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases, preprosthetic periodontal and oral surgery, mucogingival and cosmetic periodontal surgery as well as the management of periodontal concerns associated with endodontic and orthodontic conditions. His goal is to enhance his patient’s overall oral health, appearance, and general well-being by providing a wide range of individualized diagnostic, preventative, therapeutic, reconstructive and cosmetic periodontal, surgical and dental implant services.
In 1991, he received a faculty appointment at the University of Western Ontario in the Division of Periodontics as a part-time Clinical Instructor and Lecturer. He has presented many seminars over the years to the profession on topics in Periodontics and Dental Implantology. Recently, he achieved educator level mastery in laser periodontal surgery and completed his Instructor Certification for the Institute of Advanced Laser Dentistry. He will be teaching LANAP laser surgery using the PerioLase instrument to dentists and periodontists from around the USA and internationally.
Dr. Indech is committed to exceptional communication with patients and colleagues so that he can successfully achieve his treatment objectives. He develops good rapport with patients and encourages and educates them to understand their condition and make good decisions regarding treatment so that they can achieve optimal dental health. He works hard to motivate patients, knowing it is only through these efforts that lasting results can be obtained. Most importantly, he is committed to patient satisfaction and comfort by respecting their individual needs and treating them in a warm, compassionate and professional manner.
