Philosophy
Dr. Neal Patel’s competence at procuring the finest technologies available in dentistry gives him the distinct advantage of being able to provide a complete smile transformation in just one visit. Every essential skill and tool required to create a winning smile can be found at his Powell, Ohio facility, eliminating the need to find multiple providers to ensure his patients meet their aesthetic goals. He employs Computer Assisted Design (CAD), guided implant surgery, digital X-rays, lasers, 3-D printing and his in-house dental laboratory to create new smiles in what seems like an instant. “People come to me from all over the world with dreams of perfecting their smiles,” says Dr. Patel. “I can make those dreams come true by sending them home with a new smile that very same day.”

THREE WORDS THAT BEST DESCRIBE ME
Driven, creative, curious
9
THE FUTURE OF MY FIELD
Dentistry is going digital
10
IN WHAT WAYS IS DENTISTRY LIKE ART?
The ideal smile is a custom creation.
A dentist must take into account the
patient’s age, facial contours, skin
tone, gum line and expectations.
Dentists use an array of tools to cast,
drill, file and perfect each dental
restoration. It requires a mastery of
precision—the very definition of art
11
WHAT DO YOU THINK IS THE BIGGEST SMILE BREAKTHROUGH ON THE HORIZON?
t would have to be 3-D printing! I’ve
already invested in this technology
for my practice for dental prosthetics
and physical models of my patients.
It’s becoming part of my in-office magic
and allows me to not just discuss what
I can do as a dentist, but also show
my patients what to expect
12
HOW DO YOU HELP BEAUTIFY PATIENTS?
There is simply no way for a person
to radiate their natural beauty if they
are always limiting their smile. The
beauty that comes with a confident
smile is unmistakable
13
WHAT NEW SERVICES ARE YOU EXCITED TO OFFER?
GuidedSMILE—a medical device
that expands the surgeon’s control
and precision over the dental implant
process during surgery, including
the planning and placement. It’s been
called the “GPS for placing dental
implants,” and gives me the ability
to deliver a more precise, functional
and aesthetically pleasing outcome.
It shortens surgery by almost half the
time, which minimizes swelling and
discomfort. It allows patients to get
a full set of new teeth the same day!
14
WHAT IS YOUR MAIN FOCUS WHEN DOING COSMETIC DENTISTRY?
"The perfect smile” is not one size
fits all. In cosmetic dentistry, it’s
all about listening to the patient.
My team and I have to understand
the patient’s expectations in order
to create a satisfying final result.
Most times, there is more than one
way to achieve the look the patient
wants and I provide a complimentary
consultation to review options
