Coming from a family of healthcare professionals, Dr. Batra always wanted to be in a patient-focused environment, and fell in love with dentistry. He moved to the US to keep improving his dental skills learnt in India and attended Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry in Philadelphia, PA, graduating summa cum laude.Â
Dr. Batra is passionate about understanding his patients’ needs and desires to provide excellent care on all levels. He is highly trained in the area of dental implants, implant supported teeth and sedation dentistry. In fact, he travels to Mexico a few times every year to teach dental implants to fellow dentists from all over North America.Â
He spends a significant amount of time learning about new technologies and procedures that are changing the face of dentistry. His goal is to mesh modern technology with the classic service that the practice is known for.Â
Outside of work, he likes to spend time with his wife, Alexis, and their child. He also partakes in occasional golf, pickleball and calisthenics workouts.
Dr. Laden has been practicing dentistry in Franklin for 20 years when she succeeded her predecessor Dr. Mont Smith. In 2020 Dr. Batra joined her and together they moved the office to its current location at 329 South Royal Oaks Blvd.
Dr. Laden received her Bachelor’s degree from Penn State University and her DMD from the University of Kentucky. She later completed a General Practice Residency, also at the University of Kentucky.
Through the years, Dr. Laden has volunteered for a variety of nonprofit institutions. With a passion for working with underserved populations, she has been a leader in the Diocese of Nashville’s Haiti mission, traveling to the island many times to treat people with little access to dental care. She has also been an active supporter of the Interfaith Dental Clinic, which provides treatment to lower income families in the Nashville area.
Dr. Laden lives in Nashville, where she and her husband, Brian, have raised their 3 children.
