Prashant Patel, DDS

Oral health is often overlooked and underestimated, but is one of the most important foundations to our well-being. My personal mission has been to continually advocate for exceptional dental health for two reasons; your smile, and your ability to enjoy life. The first thing people notice about others is their smile; your smile makes a first and lasting impression on those you meet. Secondly, in order to continue taking delight in consuming our favorite foods, dental care must be made a priority. This is why I take the time with each patient to clearly explain the condition of your teeth and what you can do to improve their health. My family background and my education has played an important role in forming the core of who I am today. I have learned about and have a deep understanding of new technology in dentistry and how that applies to treating my patients, and I also have a sense of compassion for what patients experience. Keeping this in mind I strive to ensure every patient who comes to my office is made comfortable and all decisions about their oral health are made together.

If you have questions, it would be my pleasure to make sure that you understand all the options that are available to you and that you feel entirely comfortable with any and all treatment recommendations.

See what are patients have to say about us!

"I have never enjoyed going to the dentist and was very neglectful of my teeth. I was not shamed once for this and everyone was very personable, helpful and efficient. I was told by another dentist that to extract my tooth it would be $850 with insurance I got it done here for $110. I would recommend anyone and everyone to go here, clean beautiful environment and the staff makes your day."

Kelly C.

"By far the best dentist in Statesville! My teeth are doing so much better since I started coming here! Extractions are cheap and reasonable if you don’t have insurance.Thank you Fern Creek Dentistry for making my teeth better!"

Brooklyn W.

"Have never been to a more caring practice. Had a very scary infection and the doctor was available after hours and was quick to answer my concerns. Even checked on me to see how I was doing. Staff is very nice and professional."

Joylyn H.

"I just moved to Statesville and I was able to schedule a new patient appointment quickly and easily. The staff were all courteous and the office was very clean. Both the hygienist and the dentist were gentle and explained things well. I noticed, too, that they are a bilingual office. I highly recommend this provider!"

"The Fern Creek Dental office was able to work me in an emergency appointment to extract my tooth. I was absolutely terrified to have this tooth pulled, and waited over 2 years, but the dentist and the dental assistant we're so kind, patient and helpful the whole process went smooth. The dentist took his time made sure I was ok during the procedure. The price was well worth it too. For sure recommend this dentist."
