Trenton office opens for one of ‘America’s Best Dentists’

- L.A. Parker Columnist L.A. Parker is a Trentonian columnist and patient of Dr. Navleen Thind.

A National Consumer Advisory Board honored Dr. Navleen Thind with an “America’s Best Dentists” award in 2016.

Accolades noted Thind’s superior training, experience, continuing education and commitment to excellence.

Mass-produced certificat­es can miss out on other qualities. For instance, Thind considers customer service a major objective for her business model.

In fact, her most recent venture developed from understand­ing issues regarding public transporta­tion for patients traveling from Trenton to her Academy Dental practice on Route 33 in Hamilton.

“We have a number of clients who travel here from Trenton, some of them by bus. They may have to take two buses. That trip takes time,” Thind explained.

When Thind and husband Gagandeep Sandha, an investment banker, discussed expanding her dental practice, they opted for an office on South Warren St. in Trenton, a popular street that shows signs of revitaliza­tion.

The Thinds celebrated success this week during a ribbon cutting ceremony that officially opened “Capitol Smiles Dental.”

Thind, a Lawrencevi­lle resident and mother of two, said search for a third office entailed Dr. Navleen Thind said clients’ issues with transporta­tion influenced decision to open dental office on South Warren St. in Trenton.

significan­t investigat­ive work performed by her husband.

“It’s great that we found office space on South Warren. There’s a lot of foot traffic, plus, a Starbucks is opening across the street. It’s an area that’s getting better, a happening area “Thind said.

Thind, a native of Punjab Ludhiana, India, practiced dentistry for eight years before a 2007 marriage brought her to the U.S.

The relocation meant Thind needed recertific­ation. She graduated from NYU in 2012 then had 1 year at University Medicine & Dentistry New Jersey.

Thind worked as an associate in establishe­d dental offices in Connecticu­t and Philadelph­ia before opening Academy Dental.

A third office opened in East Orange in September as Thind cultivated success by working seven days a week.

“I always wanted to have my own practice. Success comes with a lot of help. For instance, Dr. Gupta Aditya oversees the Trenton office. And my husband does a lot for,” Thind noted.

“We’re looking forward to being in the city. Many of our clients are state workers. Our downtown office will be convenient for a lot of people. Our focus will always be about offering quality care and looking out for the community whether it’s East Orange, Trenton or Hamilton.”
