Dr Ashish Patel, Class 1 Orthodontics

Ash Patel BDS (Birm), MFDS RCPS, MPhil (Birm), MOrth (Intercollegiate) Fully Australian Registered Specialist Orthodontist.

Even as a dental student, I knew I wanted to pursue a career as a Specialist Orthodontist In this field, I get to meet, befriend and help so many different patients by tailoring treatment to their individual needs and concerns. I enjoy the intricate work associated with brace treatment and love the look of absolute joy on my patient's faces and their new found confidence in their new smile when the brace comes off. It's like they are smiling for the first time! I am also a self-confessed gadget geek and with the different types of braces I offer, I relish the challenges and find Orthodontics exciting and rewarding in so many ways.

I studied dentistry at The University of Birmingham, School of Dentistry, UK and graduated BDS in 1998. I then went onto General Dental Practice in Nottinghamshire, followed by Oral Surgery Hospital jobs in Nottinghamshire and Sheffield during which time I passed my Entrance examination into Specialist training, MDFS RCPS in 2001.I then went to work in the Birmingham Dental hospital and Children's Hospital and subsequently got in to the very competitive 3 year Full-time Orthodontic Specialist training program in 2002.

During my three years, I treated hundreds of patients, both adults and children and was rewarded an MPhil Ortho in 2005 and worked as Locum Consultant at Worcester and Kidderminster Hospital for a while. I then worked mostly in Private Practice, until my wife and I saw the (sun) light and moved to Perth 2009.

I have been published and was a Prize-winner at the World Orthodontic Conference in 2005. I now create beautiful smiles on all ages.

Having moved to Perth, my wife and I now live in Fremantle and love the beach and outdoor lifestyle here. When not working, I enjoy running (still trying to reduce my half time marathon time), cycling and various snow sports. I am a big EPL fan, especially Arsenal, although Perth Glory runs a close second!
