Meet Your Award-Winning Dentists in Plano, TX

Dr. Bhavik Patel

Having grown up in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, there’s no place quite like home. My venture into dentistry began as an undergraduate student at Baylor University in Waco, TX. I decided to start shadowing my mentor and fell in love with it. I felt a natural fit in a profession that I was passionate about.

I completed my dental training in 2013 at Baylor College of Dentistry, one of the most esteemed dental schools in the world. Dentistry isn’t just a job for me – it’s my passion. There’s nothing more rewarding than putting a smile on my patient’s face. A smile can change not only the demeanor of a person but also their state of mind, and I’m fortunate to be a positive influence in this regard.

I took ownership of Active Dental Plano in October 2016. Being both an owner and the dentist has been very gratifying, and I take pride in attaining healthy, beautiful smiles for my patients. I’m grateful to a part of the Plano community, impacting lives in a positive manner.

Being an elite provider and providing world-class dental service has and always will be my goal. By taking Continuing Education courses and being up to date with technology, I’m able to provide exceptional care for all of my patients. With a team that shares my vision, we ensure that every patient receives outstanding service and feels right at home.

During my free time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends, especially my wife and beautiful daughter Mila. I also love to workout and stay active. My hobbies include reading, traveling, and keeping up with Dallas sports. Go Mavs and Cowboys!

I cannot wait to work with you and your family, and we welcome you to our office! 

Dr. Darshan

Hello! My name is Dr. Darshan Patel and I am excited to be a part of the Active Dental family. I was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio before attending The Ohio State University for both my bachelors and Doctor of Dental Surgery degrees. After spending nearly a decade in Columbus, Ohio, I chose to move to the DFW area to be closer to my family and begin a new chapter.

I was drawn to dentistry because I believe that it combines a unique blend of aspects into one profession, including artistic creativity, compassion, and the application of evidence based scientific knowledge. I enjoy having the opportunity to provide my patients with exceptional oral health care while also building a trustful and educational rapport.

During my free time, I love to workout, golf, and stay active. Additionally, as a new Texan, I enjoy exploring the DFW area and becoming familiar with my new home. Sports are one of my biggest passions and I love to cheer on my Buckeyes and the Cowboys!

Amazing job by Dr. Patel!!! I was very concerned as my front teeth needed fillings. How is he going to match the filling ? Well he did. Perfect match. He also reshaped a front tooth it is perfect! Dr. Patel was concerned about me being " happy". I am 58, 4 kids, I have been to alot of dentist - I have never had such a caring attentive one as Dr. Patel. Also a huge shout out to Rita who was just as attentive and caring.
