With native roots in India, Dr. Vishal Kulkarni always knew he wanted to make a positive difference in the lives of others by healing and transforming smiles. After earning his Bachelor of Dental Surgery in India, he moved to the U.S. where he achieved a Master of Public Health degree. He was then accepted to the University of Southern California Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry where he became a Doctor of Dental Surgery. In 2017, he opened his first dental practice, and has absolutely loved providing one-to-one, quality-focused care for the East Texas community ever since.

As the founder of Deluxe Dental, Dr. V is excited to partner alongside Kilgore patients like you in providing the most comfortable and compassionate dental care around. For him, the most rewarding part of dentistry is being able to connect with his community, one patient at a time. He's here to be a trusted advocate and friend on your journey towards lifelong oral health, making every visit fun and fear-free.

Outside the office, you can find Dr. V playing tennis, cooking flavorful dishes in the kitchen, traveling, and spending quality time with his family and friends.
