Amit M. Patel DDS, MSD

FOUNDER - ROOT PERIODONTAL AND IMPLANT CENTERS

Dr. Amit M Patel earned his Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Psychology and Biology as well as his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor (BIG WOLVERINE FAN – GO BLUE!). Dr. Patel furthered his graduate training by earning his Certificate in Periodontics from Indiana University School of Dentistry, while concurrently earning his Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) degree along with a minor in Oral Pathology. Throughout his educational career, Dr. Patel has held and currently holds numerous leadership positions and has presided over several committees. He has also been involved in various research projects which have led to several publications and has presented his findings at both the national and international level.  Two of his research articles have been published in the reputable Journal of Periodontology.

Treatment Philosophy

The training that Dr. Patel has received has given him a wide range of experience in treating advanced periodontal disease, complicated extractions of teeth, placement of dental implants, bone regenerative procedures, as well as in periodontal plastic surgery/cosmetic procedures. Dr. Patel offers IV and oral sedation for the comfort of the patient and to relieve any anxiety that one may have and is LANAP/LAPIP Certified (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure/Laser Assisted Peri-Implantitis Procedure). His goal is to provide the best treatment possible to satisfy the patient’s needs and desires, as he believes that an “ideal” smile is not what is seen in magazines and in textbooks, it is what the patient believes is perfect in his or her own eyes.

Professional Affiliations

Dr. Patel is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology, the Southwest Society of Periodontics, the American Dental Association, the Texas Dental Association, the Dallas County Dental Society, and Vistage Worldwide. He is also the Director of a local Seattle Study Club, a prestigious organization that currently has over 30 doctors from the DFW Metroplex as members.  He is also the Director of the ROOT Dental Hygiene Study Club.

Personal

Dr. Patel was raised in Bloomfield Hills, MI by two amazing and supportive parents.  He is a die-hard Detroit Lions, Pistons, Tigers, and Red Wings fan! He lived in Austin, TX for some time and then moved to the Dallas area in 2013 and has come to love the Dallas Mavericks and Stars as well! His future goals include continuing to treat patients in private practice, earning his Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree, as well as perhaps becoming a part-time faculty member at Texas A & M University College of Dentistry.  In his spare time, he enjoys traveling, going to sporting events, trying new experiences, and golf.

Dr. Patel’s goal upon the first meeting with him is to make you feel as comfortable as possible as he understands that coming to a periodontal office can be daunting. The goal of this visit is to make sure that you have all of your options for any possible treatment and then you make the choice of what you want to do.  He will tell you multiple times that at the end of the day, it is your mouth and your investment and that his job is to help guide you to a healthier state, both physically and psychologically.  Dr. Patel looks forward to meeting you and joining the ROOT Family!
