His career in dentistry began in 1992 when he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the New York University College of Dentistry in New York City, New York.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. General dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy. 

Happily married, Dr. Manocha and his wife, Neeru, live in Manalapan, New Jersey. They have a daughter, Riva, who is working as a Scientist at Procter & Gamble, as well as a son, Kunal, who is pursuing his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree at the Rutgers School of Dental Medicine in Newark.
