Dr. Nipa Parikh, DMD
Hello! Welcome to Chasing Smiles, where your smile is our priority.
I'm Dr. Parikh, and I'm so excited to be your dentist. With over 8 years of experience, I have the privilege of working with patients of all ages—from children to adults—and I’m committed to making sure that everyone who walks through our doors feels comfortable and cared for.
My Journey in Dentistry I graduated with my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry, and since then, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge through advanced training in pediatric dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, and Invisalign. Whether you're a child visiting for your first check-up or an adult seeking restorative care, I’m here to provide the best dental care possible for you and your family.
My Approach to Patient Care I believe that excellent dental care starts with a strong, trusting relationship. For kids, I strive to make every visit fun and stress-free, helping them feel confident about their dental health from an early age. For adults, I take the time to listen to your concerns, explain your options, and work with you to create a treatment plan that suits your needs. My goal is to ensure that everyone—young and old—leaves with a healthy, beautiful smile.
Outside the Office When I’m not in the office, I enjoy traveling, spending time with husband Dr. Abhishek Purohit, a local Pediatrician, hiking, and cooking. I. very am excited to serve the community and surrounding areas!
Let’s Work Together for Your Family’s Best Smiles Whether you're looking for your child’s first dental visit or need more advanced care for yourself, I’m here to help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment for you or your loved ones. I look forward to meeting you and helping your family maintain happy, healthy smiles for years to come!

His loving temperament makes him a favorite among both children and adults, and he brings an extra layer of care to every visit.
