"I was so nervous moving to Matthews and finding a new dentist. A neighbor recommended Dr. Patel and honestly it's the best recommendation I've ever received. He is thorough, patient, and genuinely cares about your health — not just your wallet."
"The whole family comes here now — my kids actually look forward to their dental checkups, which I never thought possible. Dr. Patel is so gentle and takes the time to explain everything. The office is spotless and modern. We will never go anywhere else."
"I avoided the dentist for almost 10 years because of bad experiences. A coworker convinced me to try First In Smiles and I am so glad she did. Dr. Patel never made me feel judged — just listened, explained, and helped. I actually have my next appointment already booked."
Transparent pricing, real value — no gimmicks. Here's exactly what you get and what you pay.
After earning his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from Boston University Dental School in 2004, Dr. Patel practiced in Connecticut for four years before choosing Matthews, NC as his home — a place he found perfectly balanced for raising a family.
He ran a thriving dental practice in Charlotte for 10 years before opening First-in-Smiles Dentistry right here in Matthews in 2018. He has been helping your neighbors smile with confidence ever since.
Deeply committed to advancing his skills, Dr. Patel has completed post-graduate training with the prestigious Spears Institute and the International Congress of Implantologists (ICOI) — bringing big-city expertise to a genuinely personal, community-focused practice.
