Born and raised in India, Dr. Gaurav Puri’s journey into dentistry began at Himachal Dental College in Sundernagar, India where he earned a Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 2002. It was there that he first witnessed the transformative power of reconstructive procedures, igniting his passion for advanced dentistry and setting him on a path to specialize. His unique background allows him to combine a diverse clinical perspective with the most advanced techniques in reconstructive dentistry.
Dr. Puri’s dedication led him to a highly competitive Advanced Education in Prosthodontics residency at Marquette University, where he trained exclusively in complex restorative and implant dentistry for three years. During this specialized training, he honed his skills in procedures such as veneers, crowns, bridges, and full-mouth reconstructions. His commitment to dental excellence was further refined while teaching at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine before he entered private practice.
