Periodontal Disease (Gum Disease) is an infection that not only affects your gums but affects the surrounding bone and supporting tissues around your teeth. It is a major cause of tooth loss and usually has minimal symptoms as it is often diagnosed as painless, although inflammation is a common symptom that we find. If left untreated, it can have terrible effects and lead to tooth loss in the most extreme cases but it can be very easily treated if nipped in the bud early. It is caused by a build up of plaque that can be prevented if you are cleaning and maintaining properly.

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.

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.

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.

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.
