Dr. Wolf is a highly experienced restorative dentist who is passionate about his work helping people realize their best smile. From his years in the field, he knows that a great looking smile can help people express themselves and feel good about themselves.

Inspired by her brother who is a prosthodontist and implant surgeon in India, Dr. Gautam pursued a career in dentistry.
She got to see first hand how her brother was able to change lives everyday through restorative dentistry and wanted to be able to make a difference in patient’s lives as well.
She completed 5 years of dental school and 3 years of residency before moving to Florida where she did another 3 years of residency and 2 years of surgical implant fellowship.
Dr. Gautam has had years of experience doing dental implants the traditional way. She became very familiar with the drawbacks of giving patients temporary teeth for months as part of this traditional method and now loves that at Nuvia she can give her patients their final teeth in 24 hours.
While joining the Nuvia team in Minneapolis, Dr. Gautam recognized that Nuvia’s innovative approach to full mouth dental implants could completely transform the patient experience from one of frequent and inconvenient visits over the course of months to one where patients can begin a new chapter of life right away.
A recent hobby of Dr. Gautam has been learning traditional Indian dancing. She enjoys spending time with friends and is looking forward to exploring cooking as a hobby in her freetime.
