Board Certified Endodontist at Ballantyne Endodontics

My experience in general dentistry and endodontics and relentless pursuit of growing my knowledge base, combined with my extreme empathy for those suffering dental pain, has allowed me to be a competent diagnostician, technician and counselor for each of my patients.

Ankur Gupta, DDS, after completing a 1-year GPR in Cleveland, Ohio, started a practice from scratch in 2005.

More than a decade later, he enjoys enviable new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution- oriented dental team, and, most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares the failures and successes with dental and community groups throughout the country, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.
