Dr Adam Patel

Dentist · GDC 278507

BDS (Sheffield)

Adam graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Sheffield, receiving honours awards in three consecutive years. Since qualifying, further training with respected specialists has given him a versatile skill set, which he continues to develop.

Patients often say Adam’s greatest strength is his gentle, approachable manner. He enjoys building lasting relationships with his patients and helping them feel at ease, so treatment feels like being looked after by a friend. His friendly, chatty nature makes him especially popular with nervous patients, helping them overcome their worries about visiting the dentist.

Adam enjoys every aspect of dentistry, with a particular interest in dental implants, clear aligners and teeth whitening. He believes everyone deserves a smile that is uniquely theirs, and he focuses on caring for patients over the long term, always putting their comfort and satisfaction first.

Before joining Six Ways, Adam worked in Leeds, where he volunteered with the Dentaid homeless van project and Teeth Team school visits. He has also volunteered in Cambodia, providing emergency dental care, treating children at a rural school and helping to rebuild parts of its playground.

Outside work, Adam enjoys football, golf, tennis, the gym, skiing and, more recently, yoga and meditation. He is a keen traveller who has visited nearly 50 countries, including volunteering trips to rural Malaysia and Nepal to help villagers build basic amenities and teach English. Having lived in Dubai for seven years, he loves meeting new people and learning about different cultures, and he is a big animal lover.

After qualifying, Guv completed his Dental Foundation Training in Wales before returning home to the Midlands. He continues to attend postgraduate courses to broaden his knowledge and skills.

Friendly and approachable, Guv puts patients at ease with his light-hearted, gentle approach. He understands that visiting the dentist can feel daunting and is particularly good at helping anxious patients feel calm.

Guv provides a broad range of treatments, from restorative dentistry and oral surgery to cosmetic treatments such as clear aligners and teeth whitening.

Outside the practice, Guv enjoys going to the gym and has recently taken up meditation. He is also a keen traveller who loves exploring new cultures with family and friends.

━ Our approach

How we care for you.

01

Familiar faces

You’ll see the clinician who planned your treatment at every stage, rather than a different face each visit.

02

Honest advice

We explain what we find in plain language, tell you if a treatment isn’t right for you, and give you written options and costs before anything begins.

03

Care for the long term

Many of our patients have been with us for years, so we plan every treatment to last and to keep your smile healthy well into the future.
