Meet Laura Gart, D.M.D.

Dr. Laura Gart joined Southwest Florida Oral and Facial Surgery in 2026 and is thrilled to return to Florida and especially to the Southwest Florida community.  She was born and raised in Wilmette, Illinois, and developed an early passion for healthcare and helping others. She attended Northwestern University. She then went on to earn her dental degree (D.M.D.) from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine before completing her Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She also attained her Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) from Indiana University. She is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

As an oral surgeon, Dr. Gart chose the specialty because it allows her to care for patients and combine surgical expertise with compassionate, patient-centered treatment. She is committed to providing exceptional care and believes every patient deserves to be treated with the same respect, attention, and concern she would give a member of her own family.

Dr. Gart’s professional goal is to continually provide the highest standard of surgical care while helping patients feel comfortable, informed, and confident throughout their treatment experience. She strives to build lasting relationships based on trust and compassion. She is committed to continuous improvement and staying at the forefront of advancements in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Above all, Dr. Gart hopes her patients remember her dedication to delivering outstanding care and her genuine commitment to their well-being. She wants every patient to feel heard, valued, and cared for from their first consultation through their complete recovery.

Dr. Gart’s current clinical practice encompasses a wide range of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery including dental extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, all-on-4 surgery, bone grafting, sinus augmentation and hard and soft tissue pathology.

Outside the office, Dr. Gart enjoys staying active by swimming, biking, and running. She also loves spending time with her dogs, Bailey and Peppermint Patty and taking them to the beach.
