Meet Dr. Gunning and Our Dental Team
At Signature Smiles Dentistry, we believe a dental practice is only as good as the staff that works there. For this reason, we are proud to boast about having the best dental team. We also love mentioning that we offer the best dental practice for Parker, Colorado residents. Dr. Gunning DDS and our dental team are much more than a practice; we are a family. We strive to provide our patients with the best dental services that include general, cosmetic, and restorative options.

Meet Dr. Nate Gunning! He was born and raised in Mesa, Arizona where he completed his undergraduate degree in Business Management at Arizona State University.

When he isn’t reading dental articles, attending continued education classes, or learning as much as he can about dentistry, you can find him hiking in the mountains or playing volleyball with friends in the city. He is excited to join the Parker community with his wife and three children and is honored to have the opportunity to give you your signature smile.

Hello, my name is Kala. I am an EDDA Dental Assistant here at Signature Smiles Dentistry. I am originally from Pennsylvania, but have been here in Colorado since the 1st grade. I live on a ranch with cows, chickens, and have two amazing dogs. Rogue is our Wirehair Pointer, and Marlin is our Catahula Blue Heeler. On my free time I love to hunt; I am avid outdoors woman. I recently learned to crochet (yes I am in my millennial grandma era as the young kids like to call it). I have worked in Dentistry for 6 years now and have loved every minute of it. I guess you can call it my career now and I would not change it for the world! Enough about me, come and sit in my chair I would love to hear about you!
