TESTIMONIALS

Dr. Patel is a very special individual and I’m happy to call him a friend and mentor. He’s the type of person who seldomly comes along in our profession and I gravitate towards his approach.. I highly respect him for the work he’s put in over his career to improve the impact our dentistry has on the lives of our patients. He doesn’t seek recognition, he seeks the truth. It’s clear he cares about his patients, our profession, and those he teaches. His approach is unwavering and his generosity towards teaching others elevates not only our skillset as practitioners but as human beings put on this earth to help out one another.

Dr. Patel’s course has had a meaningful impact on my clinical practice and the way I care for my patients. The material was presented in a clear, practical, and evidence-based manner, making it easy to translate directly into day-to-day patient care. Rather than focusing only on theory, the course emphasized real-world application, clinical reasoning, and decision-making that truly matters in practice.

Since completing the course, I feel more confident in my assessments and treatment planning. I have gained a deeper understanding of underlying mechanisms, which has allowed me to tailor my approach more precisely to each patient instead of relying on a one-size-fits-all model. This has led to better outcomes, improved patient education, and stronger patient trust.

Most importantly, the course has helped me help my patients better. I am now able to explain conditions and treatment options more clearly, set more realistic expectations, and deliver care that is both more effective and more patient-centered. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel’s course to any clinician looking to elevate their practice and make a tangible difference in patient outcomes.

It was a true honor to have Dr. Patel play such a vital role in my recent upper and lower arch dental implant procedure in Puebla, Mexico. From start to finish, his extraordinary knowledge, refined skill, and unwavering commitment to excellence in dentistry were unmatched.

The way Dr. Patel took command of the room—precise, confident, and fully in control—was nothing short of inspiring. Every movement, every decision, reflected both deep expertise and a passion for his craft that I have rarely seen in any profession. His ability to explain, teach, and guide through the process made me feel not just like a patient, but like an informed and valued partner in my own care.

Because of his calm authority and genuine care, I felt completely at ease throughout the procedure—something I never thought possible. Dr. Patel is not only highly trained; he is a gifted teacher, a master of his field, and a man whose passion for what he does leaves a lasting impression. I have truly never met anyone quite like him.

I consider Dr. Sangiv a mentor and I am very grateful to have attended this recent class at the AAID conference in Phoenix. Every protocol Dr. Sangiv teaches is for the benefit of the patient and the preservation of their dentition. His perspective is one that is not commonly taught or understood concepts. In some cases the concepts challenge the way I practice dentistry. Doc’s passion for these concepts is contagious and I can’t wait to implement.

Dr. Sanjeev Patel delivered a clear and practical overview of T-scan occlusal analysis. He explained the limitations of traditional occlusal methods and showed how T-scan provides accurate, dynamic, force, and timing data that improves diagnosis and treatment. His clinical cases effectively demonstrated how digital occlusion can enhance outcomes and reduce guesswork. The lecture was well organized evidence based and easy to follow making it highly valuable for anyone looking to better understand or implement T scan technology and . I highly recommend his seminars and classes to all dentists. It was simply phenomenal .

I was fortunate to attend your session at the AAID convention in Phoenix, Arizona on Digitally Guided Occlusion – Generating Implant Longevity . Your insights were truly awakening and have prompted many of us to change the paradigm from “Implant Protected” to “Implant Integrated Occlusion.” Thank you for sharing your valuable knowledge and inspiring us with this new approach.

It was one of the most intense but well organized course designed by AAID with all these mentors… I cant thank enough Dr. Sangiv Patel for pushing me to join this course….I learned a lot along with great leadership and mentorship…..

Dr. Patel’s knowledge of occlusion and anatomy is that the very highest level. It was a pleasure to be educated by someone with such a firm grasp of this area. Thank you very much dr Patel.!!

To think of Dr. Patel as a dentist is like considering Michaelangelo or
DaVinci to be artists. While those titles are true, in all three cases they
are far more than that. Lucky for us that we still have Dr. Patel.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Patel’s for several years. My experience
began with a routine examination after I moved from another city. My
previous orthodontist had outfitted me with braces, followed by a
commonly used clear plastic mold product to improve my upper and
lower teeth alignment. Seeing me at three years into that process, Dr.
Patel examined me and quickly determined that, though the teeth
looked great from the outside, the objective to improve my bite had
been largely overlooked (ignored?). The result was that the mismatch
in how my teeth fit together was beginning to cause symptoms of TMJ
issues involving jaw pain, teeth beginning to spontaneously crack and
break, and worse.
I now found myself in the hands of a technical master, a scholar, a
systems thinker for whom few dental problems are the result of merely
one cause, and a true humanitarian who took the time to make sure I
was comfortable with every procedure and that I had the answer to
“why?” whenever the question was asked. To make a long story short,
one could easily conclude today that my bite has been dramatically
improved so that teeth, jaw, and oral health are the best they have
ever been.
Everything about Dr Patel’s office provides valuable insights. He has a
highly competent small team, some of whom have been with him for
years. The technology he has created and acquired reveal him to be an
innovator par excellence. If you ever have a problem or troubling
question on a non-business day, you’ll find him to be, as often as not,

the person who answers the phone from wherever he might be. In
other words, he sets a high bar others in this industry should emulate.
If you are looking for a global leader in his field who treats you like a
newly found relative he cares about, Dr. Patel is your man. I have found
him to be a pretty humble guy, considering all his achievements both
here and internationally. He is a perfectionist without being pedantic.
You may find him to be the kind of good neighbor you wish you had.

Dr. Patel is an amazing clinician and educator! I’ve worked with him on a mission trip providing free care in some really complex cases. His attention to detail and knowledge were invaluable. I knew he had a different level of passion for dentistry and implantology when he got up and gave an incredible impromptu lecture on occlusion (for free) after operating until 11pm! I’m proud to know Dr. Patel!

I had the privilege of attending Dr. Patel’s lecture, and I would like to express my deep admiration for the quality of his presentation.

Dr. Sangiv is a leader in the implant world, and I am very grateful to have been able to learn from him. I am happy to consider him a mentor and friend. His expertise in occlusion, especially implant occlusion, is something that very few people understand. He is very skilled at demistifying this, and it has changed the way I design full arch prosthetics. Implants are becoming a much more common treatment modality for general practitioners and it is important we don’t neglect these details. The patients deserve it

I can’t explain in words how amazing my experience with Dr. Patel was. I wish I had known him in dental school or earlier in my career. I’ve always had a rocky experience with occlusion, despite taking occlusion courses and curriculums. He explained concepts in a way that finally made sense and offered a perspective on occlusion I had never encountered before. His real-life applications—whether for an All-on-X case or a single immediate implant crown on #9—taught me the importance of being meticulous when adjusting occlusion. I hope to take more courses from him and continue learning so I can provide my everyday patients with a healthier bite.

He is truly one of the best occlusion mentors out there. Not to mention, his passion for dentistry, his philosophy, and his teaching style are an inspiration to dentists, reminding us why we entered this profession in the first place: to achieve better outcomes for our patients.

Dr Sangiv is a great teacher and a master in field of occlusion and biomechanics. His treatment methodology ensures the health and stability of the entire masticatory system. I have attended several training sessions of his, and he really gets you to think and diagnose issues in such a way that patients gets results that are very predictable and long lasting.
