I saw two periodontists for opinions, and I’m so glad I chose to go with Dr. Amit. His professionalism, calm manner, and ability to explain everything in clear, layman’s terms immediately put me at ease. He took the time to walk me through exactly what was going on and what needed to be done, which made a world of difference.The treatment went smoothly, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I now feel so much more confident about managing my dental health, not just because of the results, but because I truly understand what’s happening with my teeth and gums. I highly recommend Dr. Amit to anyone looking for expert, compassionate periodontal care.

Following side effects of orthodontic correction, I needed cosmetic gum graft surgery in August 2024 to correct some gum recession. Dr. Patel and team were welcoming and reassuring from first to last visit, the surgery was successful and i’m thrilled with the result. Aftercare and consultations were informative, and surgery was undertaken with due diligence and care. Can’t recommend BDS enough. Thank you BDS :-)

Outstanding care and results – highly recommendedI recently had three dental implants fitted at Birmingham Dental Specialists and couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Like many people, I was initially very nervous—especially about the idea of a sinus lift and bone graft. However, from the very first consultation, Dr Amit Patel put me completely at ease.He took the time to explain the entire procedure in detail, answered all my questions patiently, and addressed every concern I had. His calm, reassuring manner made a huge difference, and I felt I was in very safe hands throughout.The entire team at BSD were equally friendly, welcoming, and professional. Their attentive care made the whole process far less daunting than I had feared.I’m absolutely delighted with the results and would wholeheartedly recommend Dr Patel and his wonderful staff to anyone considering dental implants.—Iain Pattison

I was referred to the Birmingham Dental specialist through my Dentist. I was sceptical and anxious at first.however my appreciation has not gone unoticed over the past few years. Armit, Chloe and Andrea have been a big part of my journey. Also on a personal level. Getting to know them all as inviduals has been a big part of my experience. And the same vise versa. Attentive, professional, attention to detail and an absolute profectionist with Armits specialist skills. Every step was broken down during the consulation regards to my implants.These are key attributes. I felt at ease throughout. Reassurance, empathic. Patientence 💯 and some challenges that we came across during the process.Down time can be uncomfortable. Andrea would call me to check in throughout.Juggling a busy lifestlye, Andrea always worked around my schedule when booking appointments or emergency appointments.if you looking for perfection,quality and honesty then I can totaly agree you are in the right place. I have so much respect for the team I'm so honored and grateful for everything. 🙏

The #1 Choice for Dental Implants in the West Midlands.If you’re searching for the best dental implant specialist in the West Midlands, look no further than Dr. Amit Patel and his expert team. Recommended by my own dentist as "the best," my research confirmed his reputation as a true leader in implant dentistry.This was my second experience with dental implants—my previous dentist had retired—and Dr. Patel exceeded every expectation. His expertise, precision, and commitment to a pain-free experience were outstanding. Beyond his technical excellence, his patient care was second to none. Even better, the cost for two implants was reasonable, especially compared to the 20% price hike at my former practice.For top-tier implants, Birmingham Dental Specialists is the only place to go.

Amit and his assistant have been great over the last seven months doing my implant. I can be anxious when it comers to dentists but they put me at ease and did an amazing job. I will be going back for more work in the future and would highly recommend them.

I was referred to Amit after discussing implants with my regular dentist . I had had trouble with a series of pallets since my fixed bridge failed. I knew the job might be difficult as i also have a low bone density ,so was wary. I didn't need to be as Amit did a very thorough investigation as to the possible problems.He came up with a plan which was easy to understand step by step . The level of discomfort was far less than i thought and Amit was able to reassure me at every stage.I now have top teeth that are stable and comfortable and for the first time in years i can eat comfortably . It has definitely been the right action with the right dentist.

I can't rate Amit and his team enough! First class treatment, great explanations provided, the utmost professionalism, courtesy and thoughtfulness, not to mention understanding when I got the appointment date wrong! I am so pleased with my implant and so glad I came here for it to be done.

Dr Patel and his team are amazing. They gave a friendly professional service and were one of the few dentists in the country that had the expertise to fix my dental implant . Dr Patel was able to repair it in one visit and I now feel 100% better.

I was referred to Amit by my dentist because an implant fitted by others had failed. During 3 visits he removed the existing, fitted a new one and new crown. I was not looking forward to the removal of the old one, but Amit was superb and I have the utmost respect for his expertise and professionalism. I would have no hesitation on recommending him.

The service was really good. I have always dreaded going to a hygienist. But I had a deep clean under anesthetic and it was brilliant, really clean. The peradontist was very gentle and explained the steps, very glad all done under anesthetic as avoided usual pain/discomfort of a regular hygenist. Explaing how to use the dental brushes was also very good and instructive. Finally he showed me how to use an electric toothbrush much more effectively and thoroughly which has changed the way I brush my teeth. I felt worth the money definitely

I was recommended to visit Amit at BDS by my regular dentist. I had lost a tooth near the front and had decided and been advised that an implant was my best option. Amit was very professional and put me at ease, as I was very nervous about the surgery involved. However, I need not have worried as the process was not as painful and did not take as long as I had imagined. I am very pleased with the result and would not hesitate to recommend and use Amit and BDS for any future work that becomes necessary.

I was referred to Amit at BDS by my dentist for the reconstruction of an old implant crown that had failed. Amit knew exactly what was needed and removed and replaced the old crown with a new one over two visits. I have experienced a lot of dental work over the years and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Amit at BDS .Excellent in every way.

Amit was recommended to me by my dentist as one of the best people to go to for periodontal treatment. My gum health had (note the word had) really deteriorated and needed attention. At my initial appointment with Amit he reviewed my gum health and discussed the treatment he felt I required. The treatment consisted of 4 appointments, which included extraction of a few of my back teeth as my wisdom tooth were pushing on them. Amit talked me through the process of how to maintain good gum health with thorough demonstration. He reassured me that with my treatment plan and me being consistent with my home dental care, my gum health would improve. Today was my final appointment with Amit and I can confidently say with Amit's expertise and my perseverance, my gum health has massively improved.Thank you Amit, Chloe and Andrea.

Amit was recommended by my dentist due to gum recession. I dithered over making an appointment for about 12months as I felt if I was a candidate for gum grafting it was a huge commitment and probably not without its drawbacks.I saw Amit and his team on consultation day and found them welcoming and professional. Amit was honest about what he could and couldn't do to improve my gum health and smile. He also made it clear that I would have to do my bit to give the procedure the best chance of success.I decided to go ahead several months later, there was no hard sell, I was left to digest the information and consider next steps.I went ahead with surgery for a gum graft on my six front teeth. It took around two hours in total.New gum was transplanted from tissue taken from the roof of my mouth, after a good root clean. It was stitched on, a really delicate procedure and I was given one look at his work at the end. I was then told not to look again, lift out my lips or do anything to put any strain on the new gum and stitches or risk failure. This was the case until I saw Amit again, three weeks later.During the three weeks there was a range of emotions wondering whether it had taken. I didn't speak much for the first few days, went onto puréed food and moved on to soft food for several weeks. I gave up alcohol and lost nearly a stone in weight. I was probably a little over the top but I wanted to give it the best chance of success.I was signed off (with a 12month review) after 4months.The graft was successful, I have pink healthy new gum that has taken well and shorter looking teeth. There are a couple of stitch marks where they adhered to the new gum but this is more cosmetic and a small defect in an overall great outcome.I would definitely recommend anyone thinking of a gum graft to consult with Amit and his team. If you are good candidate and willing to put in the work you should not be disappointed.

I recently had a dental implant done here at BDS. The staff are very friendly and professional.Although the procedure itself wasn’t super fun, they did a great job; even I can hardly tell which tooth is the implant.I highly recommend going here if you’re after a new smile.

Karen Bailey

10:22 04 Jul 24

Excellent. All of the team are professional, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Love the fact you get a goody bag of things for your teeth and gums, together with great advice re future care. Would certainly recommend them and advise you to get in quickly before they realise that they could increase their prices and still be considered fantastic value!

I was referred by my dentist to BDS for further periodontal treatment for gum disease. I am a nervous dental patient anyway, but was even more anxious of being given bad news about my teeth.Amit, Chloe and Andrea are very professional but also very patient, understanding and down to earth and made me feel relaxed and more at ease from the moment I walked in. At the first appt, i had a CT scan, and Amit explained and showed me where the problem areas were but also explained that the problems weren’t everywhere as I’d previously been told. He made recommendations for wisdom teeth removal to make my cleaning routine easier.On my second appointment, I had deep root cleaning and removal of an upper wisdom tooth. I’d never had a tooth removed before and Chloe was so patient and reassuring throughout the process. Amit explained everything clearly and the process of deep cleaning and the tooth removal was quick and pain free. I’ve barely had any pain at all following the extraction!Amit is professional and honest, and has really helped reduce some of my anxiety and restore some confidence in my gums and teeth, the way they look and what I need to do to keep on top of the issues. I really appreciate that the time was taken to listen to my concerns and answer my questions (unlike in other dentists).I have now been discharged but would 100% return in the future if needed and would recommend to anyone needing periodontal treatment. Thank you to a wonderful team!

Debbie Timms

15:57 26 Jun 24

I was so very apprehensive but need never have worried - from start to finish my experience with Amit and his team was excellent. So very professional and caring and although the whole process of losing a front tooth and having a denture during the process for quite some time was not pleasant at all, it was worth the trauma in the end when the process was completed and my implant fitted. I now would have no hesitation in going through the process again in the future and would not hesitate at all in returning to Amit and his team. I would certainly also highly recommend them to anyone considering any dentistry works. Superb service and care.

I needed to replace an old crown with an implant and I was looking for a leading specialist in the Birmingham area. I came across Dr. Amit Patel's profile, so I got in touch with BDS. I was quite nervous since it was my first implant, but Amit put me at ease immediately. After performing a 3D scan he clearly explained me all the details of the procedure that together we decided to follow. He has been very professional and friendly from the first appointment until the last check, leaving nothing to chance and reassuring me once needed, especially during the tooth extraction which was not straight forward, since my tooth root was fused to the bone. The implant went very well and I'm really please from every point of view (cosmetic + functional). I will definitely go back to him in the future and I would not hesitate in highly recommending Dr. Patel to anyone needing a dental implant. A special mention also to Chloe and Andrea for their support, the entire team has been outstanding.

Richard Huddleston

09:48 24 Apr 24

The whole treatment process was expertly explained and reassuring.The process involved tooth extraction, pause, implant placement, pause, impressions for crown and then fitting, also followed by check up.Overall, 6 or 7 appointments over 6 months were required but not inconvenient.No more discomfort felt than what you would expect, then only momentarily.The final result is excellent and the care and advice throughout the consultation has been thoroughly professional, thoughtful and considerate from Amit Patel, nurse assistant and reception.

I attended for my first appointment about 3 months ago after having an accident abroad causing lots of tooth and jaw pain where I'd hit a tooth which had caused bone loss. I met with Amit to discuss removal and an implant to replace. He did scans, and assessed the issue. We decided on removal of the tooth and wisdom teeth and root planing to repair the teeth to better than current condition, then would assess if still need the implant. I was super anxious having previously had an experience of tooth removal taking several hours. I went back for my appointment and had all 3 teeth taken out in about 2 minutes total with no real discomfort. I then had stressed about my recovery and returned for a check up of healing which was all going great and the team had no issue in arising this last minute for me. The root planing wasn’t the most comfortable experience but massively improved my tooth and gum health and didn’t take long at all over the 2 appointments. Upon going back for my follow up appointment, I was advised I didn’t actually need the implant as the removed tooth wasn’t visible which saved a lot of money. On my final check up yesterday I was discharged from treatment and all in good mouth health. Massive thank you to Amit and the team for such a speedy, professional service and sorting out my ongoing pain completely, thanks, Jack

My regular dentist recommended BDS but I also did my own research. To say I am an extremely nervous dental patient is an understatement, but right from the start Amit, Andrea and Chloe put me at ease.At my initial appointment a 3D scan revealed that I would require 2 extractions, 3 implants plus a possible bone graft. Amit took the time to explain the scan, the need for the treatment, what the treatment would entail along with the cost of the treatment. At this initial appointment Amit also showed me how to use inter dental brushes (TePees) to improve my dental hygiene, which I have continued to do daily.Due to my extreme nervousness I paid to be sedated for both procedures. The sedation was provided by a consultant anaesthetist from QE hospital, who like the rest of the team put me at ease about the whole thing.Both procedures were carried out with no problems and full follow up instructions and care was given. I had some swelling and pain following the implant surgery and bone graft, but nowhere near as bad as anticipated and recovered quickly.My gums were left for 3 months to heal following extraction before the implant surgery and then a further 3 months following the implant surgery before the crowns were fitted. Once the crowns were fitted I had a further visit 4 weeks later to check everything was ok. There will now be annual checks to ensure everything is ok but advised that I could contact the practise at any time if I have any concerns.I am extremely pleased with my new teeth and feel that it was worth the cost . I cannot praise Amit and his team highly enough for their professionalism, consideration and putting a very nervous patient at ease. I would not hesitate in highly recommending BDS to anyone who is considering having implants done.

09:34 02 Feb 24

I had implants done for the whole of my top teeth in July 2023. Its a scary prospect but Amit Patel and his team are absolutely professional, highly skilled and very caring. You feel very safe and well looked after in their hands. I had my final denture fixed into place in December 2023 and the results are excellent. I can now eat all foods easily and with confidence. I would recommend them highly

Alfred Edwards

I was recommended to Amit by my own dentist for a quite complex set of implants. The outcome has proved to be totally successful and the whole experience absolutely professional in every respect.

If you have gum disease you should book an appointment now!1. Having had chronic gum disease and for years trying a number of different techniques and tools to clean my teeth I eventually got to the point of losing teeth and being referred here.I wish I had come in a couple years earlier as after one appointment Amit showed my how to effectively clean my teeth (good news, you can do it easily, bad news it will take time) and I made significant changes to my teeth and gums within months.2. Having to have teeth pulled is never fun, but Amit did this really well and with essentially no pain.3. I found wearing a bridge really difficult and so, after a year, I decided to get an implant. I did look around at other options, but I am glad I went with BDS as I trust them and over ~20 years the extra cost for good service is well worth it.

Pamela Walton

16:48 24 Nov 23

My regular dentist recommended Amit Patel when I needed a dental implant. This was ten years ago and I have never regretted my decision to trust Amit. He is highly skilled and put me at ease right from the first consultation. Every two years or so I go back for a check up and this reassures me that all is still as it should be. Thank you Amit and your team.

JULIA RICHARDSON

18:29 20 Nov 23

Amit put me at ease immediately, he was confident and reassuring.The implant procedure was pretty painless, and I have no hesitation in recommending BDS to anyone. The whole team worked professionally together, and I can now smile again with confidence.

Unlike any other dentist experience!! This was highly educational helpful and game changing. Amit and team took care to explain everything in great depth and form new habits. The customer care was out of this world, and they went to great lengths to give me everything I needed to keep up with the new steps introduced. It was thorough, and far reaching. Just that one visit has made a huge difference to my dental care routine and gums. No other dentist has gone to these lengths to get the point across. Absolutely brilliant service!

David Gregory-Kumar

16:22 10 Nov 23

With Amit you are in really good hands and I'm very happy with my implant. But implants don't last forever and just as important as getting one put it is how the team here look after it over time. And the aftercare and follow ups are second to none. Six years on I'm delighted I chose BDS.

Sarah Sheridan

14:32 09 Nov 23

I was given Amit's details by a personal recommendation following an accident where I had managed to knock all my front teeth out. I can say I am so happy that I took that personal recommendation. The treatment I had was extensive and included a bone graft and implants. Although the treatment itself was unpleasant due to the amount I needed because my gums and bone had reseeded quite a bit, I always felt in very safe hands. Amit was also honest about the after effects of the treatment and prepared me for it. The final result is really good and has increased my confidence massively. The price point was also the same as my own dentist but for the same money you get a proper implant specialist so it is worth going to Amit for first class service at the same price.

Tim S

08:06 16 Oct 23

Following an accident, I needed an implant. My dentist referred me here. I am delighted with the result. At the start, Amit Patel explained everything to me, the options, and his recommendations, backed up with explanatory documents and a detailed and costed treatment plan and timescale. Throughout the process Amit and his team have been terrific, explaining what they are doing, and careful and gentle. Implants are done in stages spread over months to allow the bone to grow but it has been worth it. Thank you, Amit

I've had gum issues for years and have consulted several dentists. Amit stands out due to his exceptional understanding of the problem. He provided effective treatement and excellent advice, which successfully eliminated the deep pockets in my gums. I was genuinely impressed with the improvement, especially since I've received gum treatments in the past. Other dentists had told me that those deep pockets would never disappear. While Amit might not be the least expensive practitioner, his services are worth every penny, offering tremendous long-term value by preserving my teeth.

Rob Tilling

20:06 18 Sep 23

I had some periodontal work carried out here earlier in the year. The worst part is awaiting the first procedure - once you are in the chair the process is surprisingly quick and not a great deal more unpleasant than a deep filling or root canal work. After the fist appointment the visits are far less unpleasant. The staff here are professional and helpful. Appointments run on time and the view over the canal from the surgery is very welcome.

Jane Griffiths

22:05 09 Sep 23

Having discussed with my dentist that I was interested in having an implant to replace a missing front tooth Mrs Gupta recommended Amit. I must say I can't thank her enough. I arrived and was cheerfully greeted by Andrea on reception. For my initial consultation with Amit, I had a state of the art x-ray which showed that I needed bone reconstruction. I also had the old post taken out at that appointment in preparation for the procedure. Arriving for my second appointment where this would take place I was nervous but knew I couldn't cope with a denture. Amit explained step by step in clear detail what would happen and I felt reassured and at ease with the support of his dental nurse Chloe. I can honestly say that I didn't feel any discomfort or pain during the procedure (and I thought I was a bit of a white knuckle patient)! I was given antibiotics and painkillers and advised to use ice packs. My mouth was swollen for a couple of days after but I didn't at any time feel any discomfort. As suggested I slept slightly elevated with the support of pillows which helped a lot. I now have a perfectly fitted and matching implant. If you are thinking of having implants or indeed any dental treatment you will do no better than having Amit as your consultant and his wonderful caring team.

Scott Francis

19:28 04 Sep 23

Excellent service, Amit clearly knows his trade very well and is extremely professional as are all the staff there. Everything went exactly as he said it would. Having an implant is not straight forward but he puts you at ease and makes it a pleasant process. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

This practice was recommended by my dentist among a few others after a tooth extraction. I did my research and felt inclined to go with Amit Patel for his expertise and reputation. I was at ease in his clinic as he listened, reassured and explained everything. There was complete transparency when the implant crown came inaccurate from the lab and wouldn’t fit. Second time around it was perfect. 4 years later and the implant is sill perfect with no complications. The best advise Amit gave me was how to care for my gums and teeth that’s staying with me for life and made a huge difference in my oral hygiene. Now I follow up my implant with them every couple of years and it’s free of charge. Thank you Amit and the team for a great experience.

Callum Cooke

17:03 14 Aug 23

Little over 2 years ago having lived with a denture and a broken crown as my front teeth since the age of 13, I decided it was time for implants. With extensive bone loss due to the age I sustained the injury, the course of treatment was extensive spanning around 2 years including tooth extraction, bone grafting and finally implants. Although at times an unpleasant experience (as with all surgery) Amit and the team were outstanding professionals and they gave me confidence with every step as well as highly detailed post care instructions. I would recommend this practice to anyone needing work done and it’s safe to say it is well worth the money!

Amanda Davidson

15:33 07 Aug 23

I needed some tricky gum work doing and an implant and I can honestly say that it has been my great luck to be treated by Amit Patel and his team. He is a superb practitioner and a million miles from some dentists that have treated me in the past. I consider the money I have spent to be worth every penny. Not only that, but he was able to recommend another dentist to me to carry out some fillings and other work. Again, like Amit, a teacher of dentistry and someone who is at the very top of the tree in terms of expertise. I cannot thank you enough Amit, and should I need other work doing, I know where I will be going.

Michael Singh

14:41 17 Jul 23

I was referred to Amit by my Dentist prior to starting Invisalign treatment in August 2022. My Dentist was concerned I had bone loss and he believedI was suffering from gum disease. I saw Amit for an initial consultation where he booked me in for a thorough clean of the teeth and educated me thoroughly on how to clean my teeth with my electric toothbrush. His techniques for better cleaning of my teeth and plaque removal provided me with extreme confidence on how I should treat my teeth. The initial treatment was quite brutal but Amit was very thorough in explaining exactly on what he was going to do and what to expect and put me at great ease. The results have been nothing short of amazing. My gums feel absolutely great and I am almost at the end of my treatment for Invisalign. I have had three sessions of treatment with Amit on regular 6 months intervals and I can not recommend him enough. He is a very knowledgeable person and extremely knowledgeable in the service he provided. I was conscious about not losing any of my teeth with the Invisalign treatment and would like to commend Amit with his help and expertise.

I attended BDS in 2020 after having yet another excision at my local dentist. Amit was recommended to me by my surgery as he is an expert in this field and this is exactly what I found him to be. From the moment I contacted BDS my experience has be exceptional from initial assessment through to ongoing annual check ups. The procedure itself is extremely daunting especially after having some terrible dental experiences in the past, I required five implants all done at the same time, Amit and his team guided me through explaining exactly what would happen and time scale involved. The implants have been wonderful and if you asked me to identify which teeth are implants and which teeth are mine I would struggle to say as I really cannot tell the difference. The whole team are delightful Andrea on reception, Chloe dental nurse and Amit the consultant. I could not recommend BDS highly enough they are professional excellence. Thank you BDS

17:27 12 Apr 23

After losing a few teeth due to previous dental work from what I call a butcher, I was recommend Amit from a good family friend.When I first arrived at the surgery I was nervous beyond belief and also embarrassed by my situation. Andrea made me feel very welcome and at ease on my arrival.Amit was non judgemental with my situation and talked me through the procedure that would take place, Chloe was reassuring me throughout my consultation as she could see how nervous I was.My appointments were made in advance and I was sent a breakdown of what was going to be happening on each visit.The implants appointment was not the most pleasant, 5.5 hours in the dental chair was certainly not my idea of fun, but the whole time Amit was caring and reassuring and Chloe was sympathetic, even though I may have squeezed her hand a bit hard a few times.I had 8 dental implants at once, which was not pleasant st all, then to be told I had to eat soft foods for 3 months, which fell over Christmas 😱, but I managed it and it was most definitely worth it.So here we are 5 months later and I have the most beautiful set of teeth again, my confidence is back, I cannot stop smiling and most of all I can eat normally again.I cannot recommend Amit highly enough as he is amazing with what he has done for me, if you are reading this then you are considering going to BDS, stop thinking about, do it, I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else 😊Thanks again to the team at BDS! You really are all amazing 😊

Wow! What an experience 👌. I had all my wisdom teeth out by Amit and have not looked back! I was extremely nervous as you can imagine, but right from my first appointment he put me so at ease. (There was a bit of pressure taking the bottom 2 out, but the top ones I had to ask if they'd been removed !!! .........it was pain free!!) The whole team are amazing, so friendly and reassuring . I would fully recommend to anyone who needs specialist periodontal treatment. Thank you BDS you've been amazing ! 💫

Amanda Simkins

13:38 14 Mar 23

I did my research and Amit is the best in the business relating to implants, the service I have received has been gold star all the way, from making the initial appointment with Andrea the professional polite receptionist, to meeting Admit and his lovely smiley dental nurse.I am so pleased with my new implants and the care I have received was outstanding, Amit doesn’t apply any pressure about treatment required and takes everything at your pace. Totally remarkable how he remembers to ask after my husband and family. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.

I want to give you guys a very honest review. I currently have periodontal disease at the age of 39 due to my poorly controlled diabetes. Over the years I have gained gaps and I have lost a few teeth. It came to a stage where I was told I could potentially loose 2 of my front teeth & this ofcourse set panick. I was therefore referred to BDS via my dentist. From the get go Amit was very honest on the condition on my teeth and what he believed he could save. I've never had a dentist care so much and give me hope. I was shown how to effectively brush my teeth and what size tepe brushes to use to get the bacteria out. Whilst he was demonstrating this on me, I could sense a horrid smell coming from my mouth and my gums began to bleed. (Had my dentist shown me this years ago it would have reduced the progression of the disease vastly) After my initial visit I was seen by BDS twice whereby Amit carried out a thorough and very deep pocket clean. My Gums were sensitive and sore for a few days and I had to take it light with the brushing. Today I went in for my final checkup and I could cry out of joy. Yes I lost some back teeth to stop the progression of the disease but all my remaining teeth are in very good condition. My gums have receded slightly however this is because the pockets have shrunk and tightened after the treatment. This is an effective way to reduce build up of plaque and bacteria. The brushing advice he gave has had a phenomenal impact on the health of my gums and teeth. I cant thank the whole team enough for making me feel so comfortable and reassured. Amit you are fabulous and please continue the great.

I was referred to BDS by my dentist for treatment for loss of bone between my front teeth.Amir made a full examination of my teeth and gums, including all the relevant x rays.The treatment plan was fully explained and my treatment was completed quickly and painlessly.I was shown before and after pictures of how my bone had regrown, and expert advice on cleaning and caring for my gums as well as my teeth.Throughout my treatment I found Amir and all his staff caring professional and knowledgeable.I am extremely happy with the outcome.I can recommend this practice to anybody looking for specialised dental treatment.

I entered this dental practice fearing that my teeth were beyond help. Not so. Following treatment for gum disease and a front tooth implant, I now have renewed hope and can smile without looking like a pirate. I can't recommend this practice highly enough. The service was friendly, caring and professional. Amit is exceptionally skillful and the implant experience was much better than I had imagined.

I was referred to Amit as I have an underlying inflammatory condition and needed to check for gum disease. I was worried but couldn't have been in better hands. Amit was just brilliant. I had a master class in gum care that went a mile deeper than previously taught by dentists and hygienists and although I didn't need treatment I came away with a profound sense of relief but empowered to employ the most professional regime. Amit answered all my questions about my condition and charged me for only a half hr consultation, bonus! No excuse not to invest in a better tooth brush! Best investment of time and money. Highly recommended.

I have had a front tooth implant completed October 2022. The process was well planned out, explained in detail including what to expect at each stage. Appointments were planned well in advance, prompt and well organised. The staff were very friendly and helpful.I am very pleased with the outcome and highly recommend the Birmingham Dental Specialists team.Great job!

I was referred to Amit and his team by my orthodontist for some gum removal treatment. From the start of my treatment to the end Amit and his team was very professional, knowledgeable and honest! He also showed me how to look after my gums to ensure they remain healthy.Amit talked me through the plan and what the procedure entailed In such depth and made sure I understood. The gum removal was painless, and the after care was easily managed with next to no discomfort. I was given a follow up appointment to ensure all was well and I was happy. I am so pleased I was referred to Amit as it’s such a personal thing you never know who to go to for such procedures.I would recommend Amits practice to anybody looking for gum removal or any oral needs for that matter, as you are In highly experienced hands!Thank you Amit and your team for such a wonderful experience! And helping me re gain confidence as part of my smile journey!

Over recent years I've had six upper teeth and four lower teeth replaced with implants by Amit. I suffer from a nasty cross bite so this was no easy job for him. Amit and his staff were open and friendly on every visit. I've had the implants in for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. Would definitely recommend.

Caring, supportive, professional with an attention to detail. I am so pleased with my implant, it’s definitely something to make me smile again and provides renewed confidence. From the lovely receptionist who puts you at ease and works with you to arrange suitable appointments, to the treatment provided by Amit as well as the aftercare advice, nothing is too much trouble. I would recommend Birmingham Dental Specialists unreservedly.

Amit and his team have been just brilliant at every step of my plan. I needed a dental implant, a gum graft, and also had piezocision to speed up my orthodontic treatment. Each procedure was completely painless, and finished fairly quickly. The team were really helpful with aftercare. I cannot recommend Amit et al enough. If anyone is thinking of it: go for it, you’re in good hands.

So I’m not going to repeat what other’s have said, But do totally agree with other comments, very welcoming friendly people from reception to nurses and Amit him selfI went to Amit for a couple of implants after being referred by my own dentist, on my first visit all was explained to me along with costings.On the Day of procedure everything went very well implants done home with meds and feet up, now unfortunately some two weeks later one of the implants got an infection ( it can happen) which caused it to fail, I was booked straight back in with Amit who sorted (removed it) straight away.So yes this did put my procedure back by 6 months, but 3 months later new implant fitted and a further 3 months on I now have fully functional teeth (implants) in place.I’m So glad I opted for implantsI would recommend Amit and his team to anyone considering implants, or any other dental work, you won’t go wrong with them, professional caring and do everything possible to make you feel at ease.what more can I sayI’m sure I will be back in the future .

Had a amazing experience with this centre after a referral from my orthodontist: The staff are such lovely ladies, Dr Amit is an amazing and professional individual that tackled the issue I had, whilst also giving useful advice regarding maintaining healthy teeth and gum.Overall, the environment of the centre was so friendly and welcoming, therefore, I highly recommend to anyone with gum issues xx

Thank you Amit for giving me my smile back. I had a missing tooth and was very conscious and worried about it. I am very pleased with the service I received from the Birmingham Dental Specialists. Amit explained the procedure very clearly and reassured me straight away. I have had my implant for about one year now and I have had no problem with it. I would definitely recommend this dental practice.

I can't praise Dr Amit Patel and his team enough. Dr Patel has looked after me for the past 17 years...he fitted 8 implants for me and I haven't had a single problem in all that time. It's always a pleasure to visit his practice for cleaning, the receptionist is so helpful and the nurse is genuinely interested in your well-being. They're a first class team.

I was referred to Dr Patel for treatment approx 15 years ago and since then I have had regular check ups. He is professional, friendly and helpful. I cannot thank him enough for all his advice and support over the years, truly grateful.

The Service here was excellent, and Dr Amit Patel operates in a very professional and friendly manner, ensuring that patients are at ease and treating them with respect. I required some work on my gums, which was a very tricky procedure. I was made very comfortable during the process, and could not have asked for a better service. I saw the x-rays this week of the original gums and where they are now, and the difference is astounding, such an improvement and the gum checks are now all within acceptable levels. Dr Patel advised me on on-going maintenance of gums, and I have been able to keep this up for the improvement in my gums as a whole. I would highly recommend as a very professional dental service.

I've recently completed my treatment with Amit and going private was the best decision I made. The service was second to none and there was no delay in my treatment.Would definitely go back for further treatments as and when needed.Excellent dentist.

What a fantastic practice everybody is so welcoming from the lovely receptionist to Dr Patel himself. This was my second visit and I was put at my ease straight away. Dr Patel explained everything and went through my scan in detail with me telling me what treatment was available to me.I had excellent service everybody is very professional and I would highly recommend this practice.

Absolutely horrendous experienceHad an appointment with Amit Patel first of all was charged £180 for a treatment they couldn’t carry out just did a slight check up and got me to sign some forms when questioned was told they are just for price information so me thinking when has anyone asked for a signature on forms for price info so questioned it again and was told the same so came home got my family member to ring and ask he was spoken to in a rude manner by the receptionist and tried to cover up the whole thing good job my family member is a law student and they soon realised so apologised and we were assured they wouldn’t be taking any money for continuation of treatment. I had to cancel my bank card because of all this as did not trust thinking they would process payment. Be careful all

A long journey, well worth the wait. Got referred by my dentist for crown lengthening surgery and after a quick google was petrified. Not a huge fan of going to the dentist but after much thought decided it needed to be done. The whole team here are amazing and put you at ease straight away. Very welcoming and chatty making it easy to relax. During the first consultation the procedure was explained carefully and was given great advice on how to keep my gums healthy. During the surgical procedures each step was talked through with me as it was happening which helped to keep me as relaxed as I could be. Once past the initial pain Amit and co keep checking in to see that I was Ok and managing alright and offered plenty of rest bites if I needed them. After overcoming the fear, the sometimes painful procedure and long recovery, I am absolutely thrilled with how my teeth look now and my gum health has drastically improved.

Absolutely lovely stuff! Dr. Amit Patel is the most professional and qualified specialist I have ever met. He explained to me everything in detail, putting me, as a patient first. I noticed, that for Doctor Patel, the role of a dental specialist is a vocation and not just a job. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for the great experience!

I visited Dr Patel because unfortunately I had an implant placed in the wrong place and at the wrong angle at another practice seven years ago, I also had an oversized crown put on the implant, and I had lost lots of skin around that tooth and around the teeth next to it because of the procedure.My crown had been removed about two years ago because I was in constant pain with it and I was now left with the implant fully integrated.I went to see lots of dentists, I even saw a maxillofacial surgeon, all of them said not to take it out it's fully integrated it will cause damage one dentist said the teeth next to it could come out, one said when I asked could it be removed , I'm good but I'm not God.My appointment with Dr Patel was completely different instead of no you can't do that it was yes you can do that, yes I can do that a total breath of fresh air.I booked in to have my implant removed and immediate placement of a new implant in the correct place and the correct angle.All went well I had put My trust in Dr Patel because I felt I was in the hands of a professional, and to me he came across as you would expect a specialist to be.Dr Patel couldn't have helped me any more than he did, I had to go back couple of times for some slight adjustments , this was no problem to Dr Patel .Thank you for helping Me Dr Patel when others either couldn't or wouldn't and thank you to your lovely dental nurse as well.

After being told I have gum disease from my regular dentist, I was referred to BDS for periodontal work. From my initial consultation to my last appointment, I was made to feel totally at ease, absolutely lovely staff and fantastic treatment. I am super nervous about dentist work but I am so pleased with the work I have had done. Did it hurt? Well, with me it's the needle I'm afraid of, once the pain of that was out the way, it was a walk in the park as they say. I cannot recommend this company enough. Thank you.

I had a dental implant placed somewhere else seven years ago.Unfortunately it was put in the wrong place and at the wrong angle and I lost alot of hard and soft skin.I also had an oversized crown or tooth put on it so was left in extreme discomfort for seven years.I went for lots of consultations trying to see what could be done.All of the dentist's said to keep my implant in because it was fully integrated and most were worried about it distroying my mouth more, I even saw a maxillofacial surgeon and he said the same.Dr Patel was the only one that said to take it out, he said I can take it out no problem at all which was quiet a shock after seeing the other dentist's, and I wanted it out because I wanted my implant placed correctly.As soon as I met Dr Patel I felt I trusted him, he was smart and spoke very confidently and felt I was definitely talking to a specialist.So I arranged to have my implant out.On about the third attempt Dr Patel managed to get my implant out with no trauma to my mouth.Dr Patel then placed another implant in the correct place and the correct angle, he also did a gum graft for me.I had to go back to see Dr Patel a couple of times for some small adjustments and nothing was too much trouble to Dr Patel .I am now so happy with my tooth and best of all I now know someone who I can trust for all my dental needs in the future.Thank you Dr Patel and thank you to your very lovely dental nurse.

I found BDS after a Internet search and nervously booked my first consultation. As for many of us visiting the dentists is a daunting task but after meeting Dr Amit Patel and his staff for the first time I instantly felt at ease. I have undergone treatment over four sessions and each time it was a pleasure to visit, yes there was some mild pain and discomfort but I was treated and made to feel as comfortable as possible which was very refreshing. At the end of it all I could not be happier with the results. True professional services offered here and I highly recommend. Look after your teeth people :)

I was referred to BDS by a previous dentist, so I could get my implant sorted out properly once and for all by someone who knew what they were doing.At the consultation with Amit, he explained an extraction was required and that new implants could be placed later if I wished, this put me at ease.My first visit to BDS I was greeted by friendly staff in a relaxed reception, once in the surgery it was far superior to what I been accustom to, with High-Tec 3D ct scan imaging nothing like I had seen before, I thought this is a really professional outfit.The removal of the remaining failed inferior implant (placed by a previous dentist) was carried out simply and successfully, easy when you have the know how and correct equipment, much easier than what I had experienced with a previous dentist.I decided to have two implants to replace the removed inferior implants, Amit explained all stages from 3d ct scan imagery, through to crown, timescale and cost.At every visit I felt safe and at ease, throughout the procedure of the exact placement of the implants (no guess work needed) to fitting of the crowns.Thanks to two implants and healthy gums, eating food's enjoyable once again.If only I'd of known about BDS before I went to a previous dentist I could have saved myself a lot of time and anguish.Amit and his team have my deepest thanks.

Great tratement, people are really kind and passionate to their job. I have been for an implant extraction and it was painless. They are honest with the price and they do not try to sell you any other services. I'll definitely go back to them if I'll need it.

I am rather nervous about dental treatment but found Mr Patel and all the team to be very helpful in explaining my treatment plan. Mr Patel was reassuring throughout, and took time to show me how the work was progressing and what to expect next. I would definitely go back if I need further treatment, and would feel very confident of getting excellent service from the highly skilled, friendly and supportive team led by Mr Patel.

I would highly recommend BDS to anyone.I completed two dental implants at Birmingham Dental Specialists (BDS).I didn't feel any pain or discomfort during and after the operations.100% satisfied with my implants.Above all, the staff was really friendly and supportive and the dentist was really informative and honest. I wish I had switched to this dental specialist sooner.

I was referred to BDS by my NHS practice in Birmingham.About eight years previously I had had implant treatment for a front tooth at a dental practice I was then living..The implant fractured about fours after despite the dentist "guaranteeing" to me that it would last for 20years.( a CLAIM WHICH HE SUBSEQUENTLY DENIED MAKING. ). i was left with the metal stem in-bedded in my jaw bone. The original dentist was unable to remove it and I had to wear a denture. Another specialist attempted to remove the stem but after 45 minutes of very uncomfortable surgery, he too admitted defeat.I moved to Birmingham 4 years ago and was subsequently introduced to Amit Patel at BDS, by my NHS practice, for an initial examination including xrays and MRI scans.The dentist, Amit Patel, said that he would endeavour to remove the implant with some specialist equipment which he purchased solely for my treatment.HE REMOVED THE METAL STEM WITHIN 5 MINUTES with little fuss and very little discomfort.i WOULD 100% RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST FOR SPECIALIST DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT. He always discusses treatment plans and alternatives, provides a clear written "Treatment Plan" & costing and after treatment telephones to check I am ok. He follows up with annual checks.

My dentist told me that I should go for a consultation regarding my gum disease treatment. The team really helped keep me informed as to what the treatment entailed and how long the recovery period was going to be. Treatment lasted for around 6 months and they helped provide me with everything I needed to prevent this issue from reoccurring. Really happy with the outcome of the treatment and I recommend Amit to anyone looking for any kind of dental treatments.

Katie Cook

10:28 28 Aug 20

One of my good friends recommended Amit for my dental implant treatment. On arrival, him and the team made me feel very welcome and comfortable. He explained everything in a way that really helped reassure me. The whole treatment lasted around a year and everyone at BDS was really supportive throughout that time. My treatment involved me having a couple of teeth removed but in general, I didn’t suffer with any serious pain during the time of the treatment. I am delighted with the final outcome and I cannot thank Amit and the team at BDS enough for what they have done for my self confidence. I will 100% recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental implant work.

Kerry Lewis

10:10 28 Aug 20

My dentist of 30 years had received treatment by Amit and his approach throughout was excellent. The implant procedure took around 2 hours over 2 sessions which I didn’t think would be as bad as first imagined. I was delighted with the final results and would definitely recommend to friends and family if they required any work doing.

Graham Ball

15:06 25 Aug 20

Massive thanks to the team at Birmingham Dental Specialists. They were informative throughout the entire process and explained my situation and the treatment in full. I had previously been using Dr. Patel for a number of years but this was my first major treatment in relation to gum problems I had been having. There was a slight bit of pain after the procedure but nothing that had me concerned and Dr. Patel throughout the whole healing process was constantly checking up on me and I cannot thank him enough for the effort of him and his team. I have recommended to a number of friends and would recommend to anyone else looking for any dental treatment.

Amit went to a lot of trouble to reassure me that he would be able to help me. There was modification to the tooth and a programme for me to follow. There was no major discomfort involved and the treatment I had resulted in a positive outcome. As a result of seeing Amit, I now have a new process for cleaning my teeth which has reaped many rewards. I would highly recommend using Amit & the team at BDS to anyone requiring any sort of dental work.
