Everyone works to insure your dentures are just like you need them to be. If something feels uncomfortable you are welcome to come back as often as possible to get corrected. Dentures look like your original teeth when they finish. Great place to go for your denture needs.

Started off bad. Gums to teeth were to large. Then the bottom plate was hurting my gum so bad could hardly put in my mouth. But thanks to Lindsey Mays hard work she got them fixed so they did not hurt

About a year and some change ago, I walked into AD&I expecting to have one tooth extracted. One tooth. Easy enough, right?

Well… after X-rays and scans, Dr. Patel sat me down and showed me the reality of what was going on. My teeth, gums, and even my jawbone had far more issues than I ever realized. Being in my 30s, it was a punch to the gut and definitely not what I expected to hear—but it was the reality check I needed.

Like most people, I got two additional opinions. But something about Dr. Patel stood out. He never rushed me, never pressured me, and always took the time to explain everything. The trust he and his team built with me is what ultimately brought me back.

Together, we decided that implant-supported snap dentures would give me the best quality of life moving forward. We scheduled the procedure, but I hit a few unexpected bumps along the way thanks to my stubborn high blood pressure. (Apparently my body wanted to negotiate the timeline.) Even through those delays, Dr. Patel and his staff never gave up on me. They were patient, encouraging, and with me every step of the journey.

Going without teeth for a while in your 30s isn’t exactly a confidence booster. Smiling, eating, talking—even looking in the mirror—just wasn’t the same. Dr. Patel kept reassuring me that once everything was finished, my quality of life would improve dramatically. I’ll admit… I believed him, but I didn’t fully understand what he meant.

I do now.

Today, August 4th, I received my final set of snap dentures, and the moment I looked in the mirror, I couldn’t stop smiling. My confidence came back almost instantly. It honestly felt like I got a part of myself back that I’d been missing for a long time.

Dr. Patel is not only an incredibly talented oral surgeon, but he also has an outstanding bedside manner. Every member of his team is kind, compassionate, professional, and genuinely cares about their patients. They didn’t just restore my smile—they restored my confidence, my ability to enjoy food again, and a quality of life I honestly forgot was possible.

And yes… they literally gave me my smile back. I guess that’s what you call job security. 😄

There simply aren’t enough words to express how grateful I am for everything this team has done for me. If you’re nervous, embarrassed, or unsure about taking the first step, don’t be. You’re in excellent hands here.

Thank you, Dr. Patel, and thank you to everyone at AD&I. You’ve truly changed my life, and I’ll never trust my oral health to anyone else.

See y’all soon… hopefully just for checkups this time!

The doctors here are very good five stars. Highly recommend. The front office staff however, I give only three stars. They don't seem to be very knowledgeable about what is going on in the office and have to ask somebody else before they can give you an answer about anything. They also are horrible about returning phone calls. Someone that is supposed to return your phone call doesn't and then when you call the person back that was supposed to call you ,they are either gone for the day or have "stepped out" for a minute without calling you back. It can sometimes take several days to finally talk to someone. Overall I would recommend using this place. Just be assertive with the office staff when trying to get an answer about something over the phone.
