Dr. Arpan Patel’s journey in dentistry began long before his formal education—shaped by childhood days spent observing his father care for patients with skill, compassion, and genuine humanity. Growing up in that environment ignited a passion that would guide his entire life. Those early experiences taught him that dentistry is not just a profession—it is a calling centered on restoring confidence, function, and quality of life.

Dr. Patel earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California, and completed his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at the University of Pennsylvania in 2000. Immediately after graduating, he joined his father’s practice, where he received extensive one-on-one mentorship that accelerated his clinical growth far beyond the norm. From day one, he was performing advanced cosmetic, restorative, and surgical procedures that many dentists do not attempt until seven to ten years into their careers. This early mastery pushed him to the forefront of full-mouth rehabilitation and cosmetic dentistry—well ahead of his peers—and established the foundation for the high-level expertise he is known for today.

In 2008, Dr. Patel completed a rigorous Dental Implantology program, expanding his capabilities in implant surgery and complex restorative care. Throughout his career, his philosophy has remained consistent: technology is a tool that elevates patient care and enhances outcomes. He has continuously invested in the newest, most advanced systems to ensure patients receive the safest, most precise, and most comfortable experience possible.

One of the most transformative technologies he has introduced to Alpha Dental Excellence is the Yomi Robotic-Guided Dental Implant System—a groundbreaking advancement in modern dentistry. Over the past two years, Dr. Patel has enjoyed placing dental implants more than ever before, because Yomi has redefined what patients can expect. Many implant procedures are now completed in just 15 to 20 minutes, often without the need for any stitches. Patients consistently express amazement at how simple, fast, and comfortable the experience is, and Dr. Patel takes great joy in seeing their lives change through this cutting-edge approach.

What truly distinguishes Dr. Patel, however, is not only his technical skill—it is the pride, integrity, and personal accountability he brings to every case. He stands behind his work wholeheartedly, ensuring that patients receive exactly what they set out to achieve. When a patient shares their goals, he adopts those goals as his own, guiding them with honesty, clarity, and unwavering dedication. This commitment gives patients immense confidence that they are working with someone who genuinely cares about delivering what he promises.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Patel is known for the same warmth and sincerity that he brings to his practice. He cherishes spending time with his wife and two boys, and is an avid golfer who especially enjoys playing with his sons. He loves traveling the world with his family, exploring new cultures, and creating lasting memories together. At home, he is happiest when hosting friends and loved ones, sharing laughter, conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere. His personal life reflects the same core values—family, connection, generosity, and joy—that shape his approach to patient care.

“My patients mean everything to me. I’m grateful for the trust they place in me, and I’m proud to deliver the best care possible by using the most advanced dental technology available.” — Dr. Arpan Patel

Patients often say that from the moment they meet him, they feel reassured, understood, and confident in the path ahead. His unique blend of advanced training, early mentorship, modern technology, and heartfelt compassion makes every patient’s experience exceptional—and helps them look forward to achieving the healthy, beautiful smile they deserve.
