Dr. Aema Athar is the restorative dentist and prosthodontist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Harrison, NY. She graduated from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 2016. She then stayed at Pitt for a three-year prosthodontics residency which she completed and then began practicing. She’s been in dentistry for about 10 years now, and much of that time has gone into full arch implant work.

‍

A lot of Dr. Athar’s family works in health care, so she knew early on that she wanted to as well. In college she started shadowing her own dentist. The more she learned about the job, the more she could tell it was the right fit for her.

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. Athar chose Nuvia because it lines up with the reasons she loves prosthodontics. The team puts a big focus on technology and uses the best tools to give patients a strong set of teeth. She also likes that Nuvia puts patients first. People come in from all walks of life, and most of them are nervous. She wants to be part of a team that helps them feel at ease while they reach their goals.

‍

Permanent teeth in 24 hours is a big part of that for her. Many of her patients have struggled with their teeth for years. Some have been in pain for a long time, and some can’t chew or even smile. Giving them a new set of teeth that’s fixed in place helps them get their life back, and that means a lot to her.

‍

If you’re nervous, Dr. Athar gets it. She says it’s normal to feel anxious about something this important, and it’s just as important to her team. She asks nervous patients to at least come in for a consult and share their worries so the team can walk them through it. Her advice is not to wait. Nuvia has fine-tuned every step of the process, and she’s seen firsthand how custom zirconia teeth can change a person’s life.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Dr. Athar spends most of her time with her toddler daughter, who keeps her very busy. She also loves time with family and friends, a good book, music, and live shows. Broadway is a big favorite. It’s one reason she’s so excited to be in Harrison, since a quick train ride from the office gets her to a show.

Dr. Vijeta Singh is one of Nuvia’s skilled restorative dentists at the Harrison, NY Dental Implant Center. A graduate of NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Singh practiced in Manhattan before joining the Nuvia team, where she now focuses exclusively on full arch restorative care.

‍

For Dr. Singh, dentistry has always been about more than creating beautiful smiles — it’s about changing lives. She’s witnessed countless patients walk into her office hiding their smiles, and walk out with tears of joy after seeing their new, confident reflection for the first time. Those emotional moments fuel her passion and purpose every single day.

‍

Why Nuvia

Dr. Singh was drawn to Nuvia in Harrison, NY for its deeply patient-centered approach. She loves that everything — from planning and surgery to the final restoration — happens under one roof. This seamless process helps patients feel safe, supported, and cared for from start to finish.

‍

She’s especially proud of how the entire team prioritizes comfort, communication, and peace of mind for every patient, so that each smile transformation is as smooth and predictable as possible.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside the clinic, Dr. Singh loves spending time with the people she cares about — whether that’s traveling, celebrating special occasions, or enjoying a cozy meal together. A spontaneous traveler at heart, she often packs a bag and heads out to explore scenic landscapes or new cultures, with Istanbul and Dubai topping her list of favorite destinations.

‍

She also has a creative side and enjoys canvas painting as a way to relax and let her imagination flow — a reflection of her artistic touch that also comes out in her work as a restorative dentist.
