Meet Daniel J. Gill, DDS, MD
Dr. Gill is a board-certified surgeon passionate about medicine, dentistry, and helping others through effective and advanced surgical techniques.
About Dr. Gill
Dr. Gill was raised in New Hampshire and was interested from an early age in the workings of the human body and how disease or injury affects people physically and mentally. Going into medicine was an obvious choice for him. He became hooked on oral surgery when he found himself deeply fascinated and in awe of his UCLA dental professors’ lectures on the depth of skill required in the oral and maxillofacial surgery profession, and how the combined expertise of medicine and dentistry in oral surgery can completely restore form and function and change lives for the better.
Dr. Gill was a student Dr. Fletcher at the University of Connecticut during his residency and was thrilled when the doctors asked him to join Avon Oral, Facial and Implant Surgery. The practice is well known in the community and at the university for its excellent patient-focused care and safe, professional environment. Dr. Gill would like his patients to know that listening to their needs is his priority—he addresses his patients’ concerns directly so that they are completely comfortable with their treatment plan before any work begins. Finally, he would like to express that he truly loves his work—there is nothing more fulfilling to him than restoring smiles with a beautiful dental implant or multiple implants to replace missing or problematic teeth.
In addition to his work at the practice, Dr. Gill has recently co-authored a book chapter in the Atlas of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America on “Orthodontic Skeletal Anchorage Applications.” Dr. Gill is an active member of the Hartford Hospital and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Maxillofacial and Craniofacial Trauma teams, where he helps people who have sustained severe injuries to obtain an optimal functional and cosmetic result.
