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 😊

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Niamh Hollyfield

14:42 25 Aug 20

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.

Endodontics or root canal treatment as it is more commonly known is the treatment required when your tooth has suffered excessive decay or some sort of trauma.

With this, it can lead to further infection of the tooth. The infection can spread rapidly through the root canal system, causing a huge amount of discomfort.

Root canals contain a blood supply that can get infected. The surrounding area is cleaned during the treatment and anything causing pain is removed.

We use the latest technology to help assist your root canal treatment

We try to preserve as much of the tooth as we can and make sure that we use the latest techniques and technology available to us to help treat the issue as effectively as we can. The entire treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic and is relatively painless throughout the treatment. The patient may feel slight discomfort after the treatment but generally, the process isn’t painful. We strive to preserve any of the good teeth and make it as easy for you as possible.

The treatment doesn’t feel too much different to having a filling fitted. The overall aim is to eliminate any infection and prevent any further damage to the surrounding area of the mouth. We now have the technology that can help us save dead or damaged teeth. This means we can help try and preserve any of the damaged areas.
