BDS, General Dentist
Dr Sweta T Patel is a female General Dentist.
I have been a practising dentist since 2004, when I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in dental surgery. I have been servicing the local Drouin community with smile makeovers, paediatric and family dentistry since 2012, when I joined Drouin Dental alongside my husband, Dr Tejas Patel.
Over the years, I have come to appreciate the privilege that comes with our patients entrusting to us the importance of their dental health and hygiene. It really is a privilege – and with that comes a sense of responsibility to act with honesty, integrity and impartial advice at all times. Over time, I believe this has been the key to retaining a long roll of happy patients, along with attracting new clients as our little business, thankfully, continues to grow.
So what makes a good dentist? I think the key is to listen, to understand our patient’s needs and budget, and to recommend the best possible solution sensitive to these conditions. I think it’s important to take the time to explain things to our patients thoroughly, prior to and during treatment, as I have found this often alleviates patient anxiety.
