Active Dental

The office is always friendly and as much as going to the dentist is the last thing anyone wants to do, it’s as quick and painless as it gets here.

I find myself dreading to go to the dentist, and I really don’t know why… it’s probably just a habit formed from childhood. Active Dental does NOT disappoint. Right when you walk in, you’re greeted with a friendly smile. Every single person I’ve interacted with, especially Dr. Patel, have been so inviting, and I think their customer service really stands out. I’m not just another number to this dental practice!
Let me start out by saying JANE KIM, my dental hygienist, really knows what she’s doing and she does it so gently! She’s efficient, informative, and friendly! Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable, and I can tell he really cares about his patients. His bedside manner is awesome! I had a really badly chipped tooth from a previous filling and needed a crown, and I am one of those unfortunate people who easily gets decay between their teeth (yay) so I also needed a filling. I currently live in Chicago, but my family resides in the Dallas area and I make sporadic trips back home, so i decided to go ahead and get the crown and filling done by Dr. Patel. He and his team were very accommodating to my circumstances. Since I would be back in 2 weeks for the holiday, I came in 2 days later to get my temporary & filling, and then they rushed the lab to get my crown done ASAP so I can have it ready when I come back in 2 weeks. Talk about caring about your patients!!!
I got an in-​office whitening treatment after my first general exam. It was a one hour procedure, and GET THIS, they put on NETFLIX for you to watch! I got to catch up with my episodes of House, M.D. (yaaass!). Talk about GENIUS! When I went in to get my temporary/​crown, they also put on Netflix where I left it off at. I LOVE THIS PLACE. Lol.
I have recommended my family to Dr. Patel, that’s how much I trust him! Thanks again, Active Dental and staff!!!

Everyone was extremely professional. The office itself was very clean. Came in for my exam and the dental hygienist, Jane, at this location was super pleasant. I usually despise going to the dentist but I’m glad I have found a place that I’m comfortable going back to.

The experience was great at Active dental. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Cleaning was very thorough and I’ve found my new dental home.

Couldn’t ask for anything more! Going to the dentist use to be a nervous thing but since I started going to Active dental, I never think twice about it!
I can’t emphasis enough how consistently friendly every single person there is! From when you walk in, you’re greeted with smiles and the receptionists will even be expecting to you! I’m use to having to tell them who I am, when my appt is, what I’m there for… Everything I told over the phone but they don’t do that! I’ve also never had to wait more than a few minute before getting called in. They really don’t waste any time and get things done.
I really appreciate that they explain everything that’s about to happen, no surprises. They’re very thorough and give you good genuine advice.
And the office is awesome! Who doesn’t want to watch daytime talk shows to distract them from their cleaning! It’s a very comfortable setting!
Dr.Patel is awesome, he visits with everyone and goes over everything. I never feel like they may have forgot something because they show you everything they’re checking and explain it all. And he always smiling and laughing, makes the experience so easy when a dentist can be more fun than scary!
If you don’t love your dentist or are looking for one, visit them and you won’t ever need another dentist!
Side note: I got impressions done to begin invisiline so I’ll post an update once I’ve began the process!

From start to finish, Active Dental was an incredible experience… I know right? To say that about a dental visit is unheard of! I must say though, I am an anxious person anyways so you can imagine the trepidation I suffer when it comes to the dentist.
Dr. Patel and Macy (Hygenist) were outstanding, some of the best communication and friendliness I have ever seen. They explained everything to me and showed me how their X-​rays worked. One thing I liked is that they have the latest and greatest technology, they held back no expenses to ensure that customers have a great experience. Did I mention they have Netflix and roof mounted TVs to take your mind off of the work being done in your mouth? I watched Hercules with Dwayne Johnson AKA The Rock.
So the procedure itself was painless, Dr. Patel made sure I was numbed up with gel and then made sure that I didn’t even look at the needle he was going to use to numb me up. He is very aware of the phsyological impact of needles and the sounds of the machines whirring, so expect to be given headphones with your movies. One thing I also liked is that he removed the block from my mouth at certain intervals to give me a break, most dentists just push through it. When he was done he gave me a mirror and made sure I was happy, he guarantees his work which is awesome! Super friendly guy, a Baylor graduate and down to earth.
The only regret I have is that After 40 years I finally found a great dentist and I am about to move to DC, but here is how good he is, I am coming from DC to get my dental work done with him. I am planning on doing Invisalign, I won’t let anyone else near my mouth after my experience here, there just isn’t any better than this. It’s worth every penny!
The upfront staff are awesome as well, very communicative and friendly, he must treat them very good as they seem to be excited to be a part of his team. Listen, if you are researching dentist and you have read this whole thing, then chances are that you really want the right dentists, I am here to tell you, shop no further, this is it! You won’t regret it.

Dr. Patel is the best dentist I’ve seen. He and his staff are great and treat everyone with respect. There’s no shaming that you don’t floss as much as you should or if you have a crooked tooth. Dr. Patel wants to always do what’s best for you. He and the staff have great bedside manners
I’ve been going there off/​on the last three years and have never had an issue. Scheduling an appointment is very easy.
Their office is newly decorated and I like the TV and Netflix in each exam room.
He’s up on the latest treatment and you can’t go wrong with seeing DR.Patel.
Check him out if you’re in North Irving, Las Colinas, Coppell, Farmers Branch or Carrollton.

One of the best best dentist I have been with. Dr. Patel makes sure I am comfortable and fully understand what is going on at all time. I use to dread going to the dentist every time but now it is a very pleasant experience.

I’m not a fan of the dentist and have a tendency to procrastinate between visits. My boyfriend has been going to Dr. Patel for 6 years and highly recommended him. Dr. Patel and, just as important, his staff were professional and friendly. They took the time to listen to my concerns and questions then proceeded with a thorough exam and treatment plan. Most importantly, they were not pushy. They provided a detailed treatment plan with exact costs for me to review and decide on a practical course of action that I can afford. I appreciate any doctor’s office that doesn’t push their patients through as just numbers for the sake of more money. They’ve earned another loyal patient.

I went to Active Dental and saw Dr. Patel. I have been very pleased with my experience thus far. I was referred to Dr. Patel and very skeptical of dentists because I didn’t like my old one.
Dr. Patel is awesome. For people that care about getting good treatment and understanding more about dental health and dental care — see Dr. Patel. He spends a lot of time with his patients (unusual for any doctor) and ensures that everyone understands what needs to be done to improve. I hadn’t been to the dentist in about 5 years — he walked me through what was going on, things i could do to improve, and wrote a treatment plan to correct what was going on.
The treatment option was good too — affordable and the staff is very friendly. During my filling appointment, Dr. Patel had to numb me twice because I had a deep cavity, but was very helpful and explained the whole process.
In terms of the treatment plan, I support Dr. Patel’s approach. Dr. Patel is relatively conservative — he will try other options before jumping to the most invasive and costly one, which I always appreciate.
If I had liked the experience at my old dentist’s office as much as Dr. Patel’s then I would have gone more. It’s a great office, great treatment, and experience for patients. I highly recommend.

Active Dental is one of those rare businesses that care about the patient. I am not a fan of dentists in general, but Active Dental puts my fears at rest. Dr. Patel and his staff are great !!!

I’ve been a return customer the the office of Dr. Patel (w/​Active Dental), for the past 4 years. And every time I visit, it’s always a pleasant experience. From the kind ladies at the front that always welcome me with a warm welcome to the very thorough hygienists, to the BEST dentist I’ve ever had (DR. PATEL). Dr. Patel has always been great at addressing all & any of my dental needs and concerns.
A big thank you, to Dr. Patel & his staff for all of the continued dental care & outstanding customer service that they have shown over the years.

Great dentist office! Very up to date with their equipment and hi-​tech. I went in for a deep cleaning and evaluation and they did excellent work and within a reasonable time. Everyone was also very nice and fun to talk to. I would definitely recommend these guys!

I just recently went back for my 6 month cleaning and had a great experience. The assistant Stephanie was so nice and very helpful for explaining everything to me. When the dentist came to check the work he saw that I needed a few fillings. I have such a busy work schedule so I was worried I would not be able to reschedule. The receptionist was very flexible with me and I got in within a week to get my fillings. It is a very clean office which makes me feel very comfortable when I am getting my teeth worked on. Seeing the same staff every time I go in makes it a very welcoming place unlike some offices where the turnover on employees is high. A great team here I highly recommmend it to all new patients!!!

Sadly this place has a bad rep. I don’t know why. The staff is extremely friendly and the Doctors know exactly what they are doing.
It is a bit of a drive for me, because I live in Allen but I do the drive because I love this place.
The prices are reasonable and the staff again is super friendly. They make sure you are comfortable and talk you through each process! To me that’s extremely important. After all, you can’t see someone working on your mouth, so the use communication by the doctors is extra comforting! Dr. Patel always informs me of what he is doing and always answers all my questions with detail. And if I have an questions I remembered later, I can call anytime and they are more than happy to help.
They are so friendly, when working on you, you honestly don’t know where the time has gone because they keep your mind preoccupied and keep your attention away from any pain. Believe me, I hate going in for cleaning, it’s scary, let’s face it, but the staff here make it a priority for you to feel comfortable and happy!
I have been going here for a while now and I am in the process of having my teeth corrected through Invisalign. Everywhere else I went I was going to be charged over $ 5000, and my teeth are seriously not that bad. Active Dental offers extremely reasonable prices and are willing to work out a payment plan with you.
If you live or work in the Irving area, then you should absolutely make Active Dental your place for your dentals needs! Ask for Dr. Patel, he is awesome!

The staff is friendly, professional, and accommodating. You can watch a movie when getting your fillings!

Funnest dentist’s office ever. Like… actually more fun than the one that I went to as a little kid, and that place had video games.
I find it really weird that all the 5-​star reviews of this place are filtered. Hmmmmmm. Well anyway, I’m a real person, and I like these guys. I’ve had both Dr. Strickland and Dr. Patel work on me (dude… I got tooth problems, okay? I grind in my sleep, it’s bad).
Anyway. For whatever reason, I always find myself laughing when I’m there. Seems like the staff and the dentists just have a great sense of humor. Plus… honestly, mostly it’s that I find dentistry kinda hilarious, I don’t know why. There’s a lot of indignity to the whole thing, if you think about it. It’s amusing.
I’m kind of embarrassed to even admit how much work I’ve had done here. Um… it’s kind of a lot. But whatever, it’s all been good work. Some of it was cosmetic, and I swear to god a random cashier last week complimented my teeth. On the downside, in-​office whitening hurt like the dickens. Or actually like being stabbed in the teeth with frozen knives, to be more precise. NEVER AGAIN. But that’s not their fault, that’s just how it works. Holy crap, y’all, don’t ever do in-​office whitening.
The one case where I had to have a new (ish) crown taken off and a root canal done underneath, they didn’t charge me for the new crown. I thought that was pretty spiffy of them. Oh, and they sent me to a shockingly awesome root canal-​er (endodontist?).
So, these guys are a 2-​minute drive from my house. I should be ashamed for driving, really. But my point is this: if I moved like, 20 or 30 minutes away? I think I’d still drive to them just to be able to laugh with some laid back cool ass dentists instead of going to Dr. Stodgy down whatever new street I lived on.

Would not recommend. Moved to Dallas and had to find a new dentist. I went here b/​c it was close. They tried to tell me I needed about $ 2500 worth of dental work so I got a 2^nd opinion elsewhere with a place I was recommended to an he told me that was outrageous.

Great dentist … And best assistant. Awesome … I hate dental work. But made it easy

Bad bad bad!
I ended up having to get a refund on a ton of dental work here. I went in about 10 times because of pain, and they couldn’t for the life of them figure out what was wrong. They tried a million things and it never helped.
The dentists here are just too young and inexperienced. As soon as I went to a more experienced doctor (Dr. Kehl at Alfa Dental) I was in no more pain.
