Meet Dr. Bruce Murphy, one of Nuvia’s experienced restorative dentists at the Dublin, OH clinic.
About
Dr. Murphy has been working as a restorative dentist for 40 years and loves what he does. It’s important to him to be constantly learning new techniques and skills so he can continually improve the patient’s experience..
Dr. Murphy grew up in a small Canadian town next door to a dentist. This is where he first developed his interest in dentistry. He received his education in Halifax, Nova Scotia for his undergrad and dental degree. After moving around Canada for a couple of decades, he moved to the US and has lived there ever since.
With years of restorative dentistry under his belt, Dr Murphy saw many patients undergo the traditional process of getting dental implants that could take up to 10+ months to complete. When he heard that Nuvia could provide permanent teeth in 24 hours to dental implant patients, he knew he had to be a part of it. He is excited to be part of the Nuvia Dental Implant Center team in Dublin, OH.
When Dr. Murphy isn’t working as a restorative dentist, he is a musician. In the 80s, he played in a distinguished band called “Men Without Hats”. He continues to play live music and record in his studio. Dr. Murphy also races road course cars. He loves spending time with his wife, daughter, and two dogs.

Dr. Ghadiali had his first introduction to dentistry in a high school dental assisting course. After the course he continued to pursue an education in dentistry.
Initially thinking he would become a general dentist, he quickly decided he wanted to pursue a career as an oral surgeon.
Dr. Ghadiali noticed a key difference about Nuvia from other full mouth dental implant providers - At Nuvia he would be able to focus solely on the procedure and not have to worry about providing the anesthesia as well.
Not only do patients have a dedicated CRNA keeping them comfortably sleeping throughout the procedure, they’re able to get their permanent teeth in 24 hours. Dr. Ghadiali loves that he is part of the process of helping patients change their lives overnight at Nuvia in Lemont.
When he isn’t working as an oral surgeon, he loves to spend time with his wife and two young kids. He loves to hike when he has the time and makes traveling as a family a priority.
