About Dr. Arpitkumar Patel
Dr. Arpitkumar Patel began his dental career in India, where he earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery and trained across every core area of clinical dentistry.

His public health training shapes the way he practices.

At Richmond Dental Care he sees adults, seniors and children. Much of his day is spent on checkups and cleanings, gum disease treatment, deep cleanings, dentures and senior dental care.
