Dr. Jeffery Garcia - Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon in Fremont

Dr. Jeffery Garcia is one of the talented oral and maxillofacial surgeons at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fremont, CA. He earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the UCLA School of Dentistry and completed his oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at UCSF Fresno, a hospital-based program where he gained experience in complex surgical procedures and patient care.

‍

Before joining Nuvia, Dr. Garcia owned and operated a private practice in Southern California for eight years. Including residency, he’s been practicing oral and maxillofacial surgery for more than twelve years.

‍

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Garcia was drawn to Nuvia for its patient-centered philosophy and its focus on innovation. He appreciates how every decision—from technology to training—is centered on providing high-quality experience and outcomes for patients. The opportunity to help patients receive permanent teeth in 24 hours is especially rewarding for him.

‍

Patients working with Dr. Garcia can expect a calm, understanding approach. He knows that surgery can be intimidating and takes the time to explain every step of the process. His goal is for each patient to feel comfortable, supported, and confident in their care from start to finish.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Dr. Garcia enjoys spending time outdoors. He loves skiing—both on snow and water—along with hiking, biking, and backpacking. When he’s not out exploring, you’ll likely find him reading by the fire or spending time with his fiancée.

Dr. Shrikar Mehta is one of Nuvia’s restorative dentists at the Fremont, CA Nuvia Dental Implant Center. Born and raised in western India, Dr. Mehta was inspired to pursue dentistry after watching his grandparents struggle for years without teeth and with dentures. That experience shaped his lifelong mission: to help others eat, smile, and live confidently again.

‍

After moving to the U.S., Dr. Mehta earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from NYU College of Dentistry, followed by advanced residency training in prosthodontics — the specialty focused on restoring and replacing teeth. Since then, he has devoted his career to full-arch implant dentistry, helping patients reclaim both function and aesthetics through permanent implant restorations.

Why Nuvia

For Dr. Mehta, Nuvia represents the future of restorative care. He’s inspired by the company’s ability to deliver permanent zirconia teeth in just 24 hours, giving patients a brand-new, durable, and natural-looking smile in a single day.

‍

For His Patients

Dr. Mehta believes dentistry is ultimately about human connection. “Here at Nuvia, you’ll be treated like family,” he says. “We take the time to get to know you, understand your needs, and make sure you feel completely comfortable throughout the process.”

‍

Outside of the Office

When he’s not helping patients transform their smiles, Dr. Mehta enjoys spending time with his wife and their extended family. Together, they love trying new cuisines, discovering local restaurants, and spending weekends outdoors — whether hiking scenic trails or exploring new places surrounded by nature.

Dr. Namrata Nayyar is the restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fremont, California. With over a decade of experience, she brings both skill and heart to every case she takes on. 

‍

Dr. Nayyar earned her prosthodontics degree in New York and went on to complete an implant fellowship at The Ohio State University. Before joining Nuvia, she practiced in Texas, where she focused on complex restorative and implant cases.

‍

Why Nuvia

For Dr. Nayyar, dentistry has always been the perfect mix of art and science. Coming from a family of physicians—and with a father who’s a mechanical engineer—she’s always been drawn to work that combines the two. 

‍

What stood out to her about Nuvia was its innovation. The ability to deliver permanent teeth in 24 hours isn’t just a new idea—it’s a major shift in how implant dentistry is done. She’s excited to be part of a team that’s pushing the field forward while keeping patient care at the center of everything.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Dr. Nayyar loves traveling with her family and exploring new cultures and cuisines. She and her two young kids enjoy hiking in the Sierra Azul Nature Preserve and other Bay Area trails. When she’s not outdoors, you’ll find her reading, learning, or planning her next adventure.
