What is a Prosthodontist?
Prosthodontists are experts in the restoration and replacement of teeth; they make smiles look beautiful and function the way they should!
After completing four years of dental school, prosthodontists receive an extra three years of specialized training in an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited graduate program. Prosthodontics is one of the nine dental specialties recognized by the ADA.
Many like to think of a prosthodontist as the "quarterback" of a dental treatment plan. They regularly lead teams of general dentists, specialists, and other health professionals to develop solutions to your dental needs.

After Hours
Dr. Patel and his wife Marsha have two daughters, Raena and Maya, and a son Dylan. During his free time, Dr. Patel enjoys spending time with his family and playing golf.
"After receiving bad but expensive dental care, I visited several dentists within a few months searching for one I could trust. Each visit cost more with no resolution to my dental problems. I found Dr. Patel and have been completely satisfied. He is so very honest and probably under promises instead of over promising which leaves patients disappointed. My husband and I drive almost two hours to see Dr. Patel, and he is worth every mile. The cherry on top is that every member of his staff is great too."
