About Our Dental Practice - Dr. Nadler in Hillsborough, New Jersey

“Dr. Nadler's Work Took Years Off My Appearance!”

“After years half smiling due to chipped and cracked teeth, I started getting headaches and jaw pain. Other dentists couldn't diagnose my problems, so I was referred to Dr. Nadler. From the moment I contacted Designs for Dental Health, I knew I was in the right place! After Dr. Nadler understood and evaluated my complete dental history, he helped me understand what was going on with my teeth, bite and jaws, which led to a discussion about TMJ and ultimately a total mouth reconstruction.

“Dr. Nadler worked with me throughout the entire process, always ensuring that everything was being done correctly. Today, I have a great smile and receive many compliments on my teeth. My bite is now correct and I never get headaches or pain in my jaws like I did before. I owe my smile to Dr. Nadler!”

The key is providing quality personal dental care

While studying Physical Science at Drexel University, Dr. Sagar Lunagaria seemed to be on his way to becoming a Biomedical Engineer. After all, he had always been detailed-oriented with a keen interest in biological science. But then he had a chance to observe a dentist in action during his first year of college.

"It really opened up my eyes," Dr. Lunagaria recalls. "I was truly impressed by a dentist's ability to change someone's smile, improve their appearance and boost their self-confidence."

The rest, as they say, is history. Dr. Lunagaria earned his dental degree from Temple University. During his final year of dental school, Dr. Lunagaria had the opportunity to receive additional training in implant dentistry at New York University.

Along with his expertise in implant dentistry, Dr. Lunagaria has extensive experience and training in general, cosmetic and restorative dentistry. He is also trained and certified in sedation dentistry. This is especially beneficial for anxious patients who need help relaxing before a dental treatment.

"My philosophy is to provide quality personal care," Dr. Lunagaria says. "My goal is to provide a comfortable dental experience to my patients, to give them a long-lasting, beautiful smile."
