Dr. Nanjapa was born in India where he earned his dental degree from MAHE, India. He moved to the US in 1998 and received a Masters in Dental Biomaterials at University of Alabama, Birmingham in 1999. Dr. Nanjapa went on to complete a three year program in Advanced Prosthodontics from University of Illinois, Chicago. After 4 successful years in private practice and teaching at College of Dentistry, Chicago, he moved to the Bay Area in 2007. In early 2011 he left the private practice he had been working at in San Francisco to start Deccan Dental here in San Mateo. He also maintains a part time faculty position at College of Dentistry, UCSF. Today he continues to live in the Bay Area with his wife, Hina and daughters Meera and Saira.
Im SO PLEASED to have found such a GREAT new dentist! Dr.Viraparia is just wonderful as well as her assistant Winnie! After having ignored my dental health for five years (and always dreading the thought of going to the dentist), I feel so fortunate to have found Deccan Dental and Dr.Viraparia. I feel I am in the BEST of hands! Not only has my treatment been painless and thorough, the whole office exudes professionalism and friendliness. The office itself is lovely and even has beautiful artwork hanging on the walls that I enjoy as a bonus.
Dr Nanjapa has been my dentist for a very short time, but Im really happy I chose him. This weekend I broke a tooth in half. I left a message with their service and within a short period he called me back and agreed to meet with me later that afternoon. I wanted the tooth pulled. As a stage 4 lung cancer patient there is no reason to try and save teeth at this point. He got it. Only too often dentist want to save the teeth at all costs but he understood and was able to remove the tooth without debate. I appreciated that. I would highly recommend him if your looking for a new dentist.
Dr. Nanjapa is a thorough and customer friendly dentist. My family and I decided to switch and utilize his services after getting care from a local dentist in Fremont for a few years. He is open and honest.
I did not see dentist for a long time. Today I saw Dr. Saboowala who is Dr. Nanjapas associate. She did very great job for me. She did my 3rd molar extractions without pain and she did 2 fillings for me which look like my nature teeth. I highly recommend to see her. She is very nice and patient.
My dad got a filling done from Dr. Nanjapa. Dr. Nanjapa is an awesome dentist. He put my dad at ease. He is the best dentist I have ever seen My dad is visiting me from India and suddenly developed pain in several of his teeth. My dad didnt have any insurance, but their office worked with us on the payments. Dr. Nanjapas office felt like a family-owned office. Its a small office with great expertise. I am very very impressed with their hospitality and welcomeness! I highly recommend Dr. Nanjapa for any dental needs.
Dr. Nanjapa was fantastic and put me at ease. He was very nice and definitely did his best to make sure I was as comfortable and pain-free as much as possible. The best dentist Ive ever been to. His staff also was very nice and helpful. Their number 1 priority is making you feel comfortable, welcome and pain free.
The place is super clean with modern equipment. It has a pleasing and comforting feel to it unlike other dental offices which give me anxiety as I enter. The overall experience was so great that I am sure I wont go anywhere else.
Somehow he has made me so comfortable going to the dentist that after my first 4 visits I opted to have future visits do more than one tooth, and I would sit in the chair for hours, literally hours, relaxed the entire time. No pain, seriously, and I am a big baby.
He is very fair on cost and works with you. I would recommend him to everyone. Hope you give him a try. After 20 years my horrible teeth are beautiful, I smile bigger, and no longer have that sense of impending doom a week before the appt.
Chair Comfort You will relax into our comfortable top of the line adjustable chairs that are upholstered with the softest of leather. All patients are offered protective darkened eyewear to dampen the glare of the light.
Pain Management With Nitrous Oxide Gas Nitrous Oxide has been the primary means of sedation in dentistry for many years. It is a non-irritating, odorless, and colorless gas which you can breathe. Nitrous oxide is safe, the patient receives oxygen with no more than 60% nitrous oxide. You are able to breathe on your own and remain in control of all bodily functions. In some cases patients can fall asleep.
