Meet the instructor
Ankur Gupta, DDS
Armed with adequate knowledge, hand skills, and a personable demeanor, Dr. Ankur Gupta watched as his practice floundered, finances became unpredictable, and his lower back and spirit toward life became worrisome. Rather than continue the trend, Dr. Gupta made a guinea pig out of his office, family, and self, attempting any and all personal and professional experiments in self-improvement.
More than a decade later, he enjoys excellent new patient numbers and case acceptance, a solution-oriented dental team, and most importantly, a meaningful and positive identity. He happily shares his failures and successes with dental professionals and community groups, always ending his presentations with practical, implementable, step-by-step ways to be better.
Dr. Gupta graduated the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 2004. In 2005, after completing a one-year General Practice Residency in Cleveland, Ohio, he and his partner Dr. Nisha Gupta started North Ridgeville Family Dentistry from scratch.
