I work to help people feel great about their smiles. I believe in treating you as a whole person, not just your mouth. My practice philosophy is based on the ongoing research on the oral-systemic links showing stronger connections to ailments like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, strokes, pregnancy complications and cancers. My passion is to help fearful and anxious patients overcome their fears and trust dentists. I understand how difficult it can be to seek dental treatment due to anxiety and provide compassionate care to help make the process enjoyable again.

I attended the Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine at Boston University for my dental education, earning my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Since then, I have continued to advance my knowledge and training to deliver the highest quality of care to my patients while also keeping their experience as painless and comfortable as possible. In many ways, my education just began after my formal schooling.

I enjoy expanding my knowledge base to take a more holistic approach of overall dental health and well-being, instead of just treating teeth. My recent continuing education courses involving implant dentistry led me to be inducted into AAID, as an Associate Fellow in 2018.

I am a native of Punjab, India, but have happily settled down in California since 1992. Currently, I live in Atwater with my lovely wife, Rinku, our son, Rajdeep, and our German shepherd. Outside of the practice, I enjoy spendingtime with my family, reading about various historical topics and watching NBA games. I love volunteering my time with KVIE (a public broadcasting station in Sacramento), the local homeless shelter in Merced and Livingston Guru Nanak Gurudwara.

Dr. Gagan Bhullar completed his dental education and training in three different countries on three different continents. He first earned his Bachelors of Dental Surgery degree from Dasmesh Dental College in Punjab, India. He then completed his Preceptorship in Prosthodontics from the University of California-San Francisco and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Universidad de La Salle in Bajio, Mexico. He attends continuing education courses every three to six months in order to stay at the forefront of the dental field. Receiving his education from so many different parts of the world not only allowed Dr. Bhullar to learn the best skillsets in dental care, but also made him fluent in five languages English, Spanish, Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu.

Dr. Bhullar is a member of the American Dental Association, the California Dental Association and the Yosemite Dental Society. As a dentist, he strives to provide his patients with the utmost high-quality care tailored to address their individual needs and concerns. He aims to create a comfortable and relaxing experience for all his patients.

Dr. Bhullar is married and just entered parenthood with twin babies, one boy and one girl. He enjoys learning, reading and watching movies. In their leisure time he and his wife enjoy cooking and spending time with their children.

I was very skeptical about getting Dental work. I've had bad experiences in the past and was supper anxious. The hygienist Alissa and Lauren made me feel supper comfortable and reassured me everything was going to be okay. Dr.Badwalz was amazing and took care of my dental concerns. Thank you to all the staff that took care of me!

I have always been mindful of where I go for dental care/healthcare, but from the moment I walked in I felt welcomed and safe. The entire staff had patience with me and worked with my busy schedule and panic attacks. I feel safe in their hands and trust what they tell me, never have I felt that I belonged more to a dental office until now, I walk in and see familiar faces they remember me and conversations we had. They are the definition of professional and comfort, I wouldn't want to go any other place, when I leave Merced this will be one of those things I will miss, the safety and comfort I have here. As a UC Merced student I appreciate that they accept UCShip and are understanding with what comes with being a student. Thank you Pearl Dentistry!!

My favorite Dentist! Everyone is so nice and they do their absolute best to make procedures painless. I had many fillings done and was very nervous but they kept me numb the entire time and were very gentle, even put a blanket on me when I was shivering. (They even gave me tools to clean my fresh wisdom teeth holes - which I had removed elsewhere.) I am currently between insurances and paying out of pocket and they have helped to make everything very affordable.

Wonderful people! I haven't gone to the dentist for 10+ years so I knew my mouth was in for some serious work. I was super anxious coming in but they were so nice! They explained to me what needed to be done and why and they also work on your schedule. Love coming here for my dental needs!

Love the excellent dental care I receive and the staff is so kind and friendly! Dr. Badwalz is skilled in the area of dental implants, as he has done two for me. One thing I also appreciate about Pearl Family Dentistry is the surgeons that he sends you to when necessary. Excellent care also.

I have always been very apprehensive about going to the dentist. I've only had bad experiences with dental work. Getting work done at Pearl family dentistry has been great. The people are very friendly and very knowledgeable. The work they did was excellent and pain-free! I highly recommend this business!

I highly recommend this place! Professional, thorough, and I was NEVER in pain! The most important thing I have to say is that I'm a regular dental patient and my former dentist didn't find all that these guys found! These guys are simply top notch. If you're hesitant about going to a dentist, come here. You won't be disappointed!

Twelve years ago I started coming to Pearl Family Dentistry because of an emergency. I cracked a tooth four days before a vacation to Cabo. As you can imagine, I did not want to go on vacation and up at a dentist in a different county. Since I didn't have a dentist at the time I immediately started calling around to see if someone could fit me in. At first contact EVERYONE said they couldn't fit me in, except WD and Pearl Family said they would get back to me. Since I was in a panic (and against my better judgement) I went to WD and the told me my only option was to have my tooth pulled. Although my cracked tooth was in the back of my mouth, pulling my tooth was not the option I wanted so I left WD thinking I was just going to have to go on vacation and take my chances. But then that same afternoon Pearl Family called me back and said they could fit me in. Knowing nothing about Pearl Family I walked in to a friendly staff and then I met with Dr. Jasvinder Badwalz and told him about my experience with WD. The doctor examined me and assured me I would not have to have my tooth pulled. He advised me how to care for my tooth while I was on vacation and again assured me that I would be fine to wait and come back when I returned to take care of my tooth. Twelve years later, a root canal, a crown, cleanings, a few fillings and a soon to be implant and I still am greeted by a friendly staff and given excellent dental care by Dr. Badwalz. I even got my husband (who does not like going to the dentist) to go to Pearl Family Dentistry. Thank You Pearl Family Dentistry!
