Dr. Regina Rocha, D.D.S., M.S.
Endodontist
Dr. Rocha was born in Salvador, Brazil, and completed dental school at the Federal University of Bahia in 1996. Soon after graduation, she moved to Brasilia, the beautiful capital of Brazil, to pursue her first residency in Endodontics where she quickly discovered her passion for research. She eventually decided it was time to take her career to the U.S. as the move would open endless opportunities for her in the field of Endodontics. She landed in Chicago where she pursued her Master of Science in Oral Sciences at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
While at UIC, Dr. Rocha received numerous awards, including the 2004 Hinman Excellence Award in Student Research, the SIGMA XI Graduate Basic Science Award in 2005, UIC Postgraduate Clinical Science First Place award in 2004, UIC Graduate Basic Science First Place award in 2005, and the Case Reports Second Place award in 2007.
In 2008, she was appointed as member of the Journal of Endodontics Scientific Advisory Board at the university, and decided to teach at UIC to give back to the community and express her gratitude for the exceptional opportunity she had. Dr. Rocha has been practicing Endodontics full time at her private practice in Bucktown since 2012. In her spare time, she enjoys running, playing ping pong (accepting challenges), making candles and pine cone wreaths, boating, biking, and most importantly, spending time with her family and friends.
