Dr Anish Patel graduated from the highly regarded Kings College London Dental Institute and we are delighted to introduce him to the practice along with his experience in hospital, surgical and general dentistry.
Anish's enthusiasm for advanced surgical dentistry led him to train with some of the finest Maxillofacial surgeons at various hospitals of excellence in the UK, for example the Oral and Maxillofacial surgery department in the John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford. During this post his passion for research and development enabled him to achieve a publication of his work in a well known dental journal.
Anish was delighted with the opportunity to further his professional training by studying for his Diploma in Implantology at the prestigious Eastman Dental Institute, UCL. This is one of the most highly regarded post-graduate institutes in the world and Anish excelled during his training here and graduated with Distinction honours.
He currently works in many clinics around London performing Implant Dentistry and Oral Surgery to the highest standards, with hundreds of satisfied patients.
He carries out his work with the utmost care and professionalism, leading to over 98% success rate with his implant surgeries. This is above the average rate of success. Anish prides himself of being a perfectionist and does many things which even experienced surgeons do not do, including full aseptic surgical set up and uses only the highest quality dental implants at no expense spared, to ensure your treatment is protected for many years to come.
Anish looks forward to providing the highest level of dental care to all his patients, and would be happy to discuss the advantages of dental implants, and how they could dramatically change the way you smile and even the way you live.
