Dr. Laura Krabill Kheshgi

Dentist & Practice Owner

Dr. Laura Krabill Kheshgi earned her Bachelor of Science in Biology from Goshen College. She then returned to Illinois to attend Southern University School of Dental Medicine, where she graduated in 2016 summa cum laude and ranked among the top five in her class.

A strong believer in lifelong learning, Dr. Laura continually pursues opportunities to expand her knowledge and provide the highest level of care to her patients. In 2025, she achieved her goal of earning a Fellowship with the Academy of General Dentistry—an accomplishment that required over 500 hours of continuing education and the successful completion of a comprehensive exam.

She is also an active member of the American Dental Association, Illinois State Dental Society, and Academy of General Dentistry, and she volunteers with Dental Lifeline Network.

Dr. Laura loves building lasting relationships with her patients and making a tangible difference in their lives through personalized, quality care. She finds great joy in seeing patients leave the office happy and confident in their smiles. She also feels fortunate to work alongside an incredible team that shares her dedication to compassionate, patient-centered care.

Experience

After graduating from dental school, Dr. Laura and her husband spent a year volunteering in Tanzania, providing much-needed dental care to underserved communities. Having previously studied abroad there during college, returning to Tanzania was a meaningful experience. When she returned to the U.S., she joined her father’s dental practice full-time and had the privilege of working alongside him until his retirement in 2021.

Inspiration

Dr. Laura first discovered her passion for dentistry in high school while assisting her father on a volunteer dental trip to Belize. It was there she realized that dentistry is the perfect blend of science and artistry. Dr. Laura enjoys the detail-oriented nature of dentistry; whether it is solving a complex case or helping transform a patient's smile with cosmetic dentistry. 

Hobbies and Interests

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Laura loves spending time with her husband and their two young children. Together, they enjoy hiking, cooking, reading, traveling, and exploring new places.

A lifelong musician, she has played the violin since age six—an art form that laid the foundation for the dexterity she now uses every day in dentistry.
