MEET DR. KIRAN GILL
Dr. Kiran Gill opened her office in Louisville, KY because she wanted to bring state-of-the-art dental care with a compassionate touch to your community. In her dental training, she saw how patients in cosmopolitan cities like Miami and Los Angeles enjoyed care in a tranquil dental environment and how this experience eased their dental anxieties. In 2013, she moved to Louisville, Kentucky, her husband’s hometown, where she now offers the Dental Zen Experience to her patients.
Dr. Gill is an alum of South Florida’s Nova Southeastern University. For post-graduate training, she chose the highly acclaimed Spear Education in Scottsdale, AZ, where she focused on advanced cosmetic dentistry. In Los Angeles, she extensively studied full-mouth reconstruction, completing numerous advanced courses. Her experience has showed her that beyond a healthy mouth, a beautiful smile is very important to you. That’s why she dedicated many hours to gaining the skills and experience to offer Smile Design at her practice. Smile Design is a specialized process that blends artistry with expertise to form the unique smile best suited for your features.
Dr. Gill believes in keeping her dental knowledge as modern as her dental office. Some years, she more than triples the American Dental Association’s requirements for ongoing education. You will know when you’re in her chair that she is a dentist who does all she can to minimize your discomfort. She’s a big believer of only using materials that work with your body, not against it. Dr. Gill is a proud member of these organizations:
- American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry
- American Academy of Facial Esthetics
- Academy of General Dentistry
- American Dental Association
If you see Dr. Gill outside of the office, she’s probably coming from the movies or on her way to a yoga class. At home with her husband, Ankur, she likes to spend her time cooking. She’s so excited to be a part of our community and loves seeing her smiling, happy patients around town. Your satisfaction is her reward. Contact our office to make an appointment to meet Dr. Kiran Gill and join the Natural Smiles family.
Meet Dr. Watkins
Dr. Watkins graduated from Centre College in 1996. He got a degree in studio art with a focus on glass and ceramics. After receiving a Masters of Education from the University of Louisville in 1999, he went on to teach art for six years in the Jefferson County Public School system.
It was while watching an episode of “Extreme Makeover” that Dr. Watkins first made the connection between dentistry and art. He realized the importance of a beautiful smile and what a difference a person’s teeth and gums can make in their appearance. It inspired a change of career and a lifelong obsession to help people look and feel their very best. Dr. Watkins went back to school and graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry in 2009 with a degree in Doctor of Dental Medicine.
Dr. Watkin’s wife Victoria is a High School French teacher at Atherton High School. He has two children, Madison and Luke.
