Dr. Sangiv I. Patel
DDS, RDH, AFAAID
A quick look at the team, the care, and the patients whose smiles we have transformed.
Three decades of experience, advanced training, expertise, leadership, and a genuinely gentle approach, all in one Melbourne practice.
Dr. Patel has cared for Brevard families since 1995, and patients now travel to him from across the country and beyond. With 30+ years of practice and advanced credentials, you are in steady, experienced hands.
Jaw pain and bite problems take real expertise to solve. Dr. Patel has dedicated decades to neuromuscular and TMJ care, applying over 108,167 evidence-based tests on real patients with T-Scan, BioEMG, and joint vibration analysis (JVA), technology most offices do not have.
Need a crown or your teeth restored? Our CEREC® system can craft and place it in a single visit, so no second appointment and no temporary. We use 3D Cone Beam CT (CBCT) and digital X-rays for precise, comfortable care.
Nervous about the dentist? You are not alone here. Our team takes the time to explain your options and treat you with patience and zero judgment. We will earn your trust.

Modern digital dentistry means less time in the chair and fewer trips back. Many treatments other offices split across two or three appointments, Dr. Patel completes in one, no messy impressions, no temporaries, and no waiting weeks for a lab.
Ideal if you have a packed schedule, or you are traveling to us from out of town.
