Back in the day, when he observed how passionate his family dentist was in caring for his family and the community, Dr. Patel knew right then that he wanted to become a dentist. He saw how quality dental care could really change people’s lives for the better. He enrolled at the UCLA School of Dentistry, graduating with his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 1995. He then went on to pursue dentistry in San Diego, later becoming certified in Dental Implant Seminars created by Dr. Arun K. Garg.

As he continued his education in the dental field, he acquired a fellowship at the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (ICOI) and now specializes in dentistry procedures such as implants, veneers, and whitening in the Poway area. 

Among his professional affiliations, Dr. Patel is a member of the American Dental Association, the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, the California Dental Association, the International Dental Implant Association, the Academy of General Dentistry, and the San Diego County Dental Society. 

As a testament to his success, he was voted Best Dentist by San Diego Magazine in 2010 and TopDoc in 2011. 

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. 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. 

Outside of the office, Dr. Patel enjoys spending time with his family and traveling with his two children.
