Meet Dr. Anuja Patel: Your Path to a Radiant Smile
Dr. Anuja Patel's dental journey began in India in 2002, where she stood out as an eminent student at Rajiv Gandhi University, graduating top of her class. Her path in dentistry, fueled by a passion for excellence and continuous learning, took a significant leap when she married her classmate Dr. Vikaskumar Patel and together they moved to the United States, aiming to broaden their expertise and impact in dentistry.
Dr. Anuja's quest for knowledge didn't stop there. She achieved an MBA in healthcare, graduating with honors from Sigma Beta Delta, which deepened her understanding of the complex healthcare landscape in the U.S. This achievement was a stepping stone to her graduation from the University of Colorado Dental School in 2013, where she absorbed wisdom from leading dental experts.
Now, Dr. Anuja calls Maryland her home, offering top-notch dental care enriched with compassion, advanced technology, and a deep understanding of her patients' needs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I visit the dentist for a checkup?
It’s recommended to visit your dentist every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning. If you have gum disease in remission then it’s recommended to see your dentist every 3-4months for maintenance. Regular visits help identify potential problems early, making treatments easier and more affordable. If you have specific concerns or dental conditions, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits.
What should I do if I have a dental emergency?
If you experience a dental emergency, such as a knocked-out tooth or severe pain, call our office immediately. We offer same-day emergency appointments to ensure you get the care you need right away. In case a same-day appointment is not possible then while waiting, apply a cold compress to reduce swelling and pain, and avoid chewing on the affected side. Keep the area clean by brushing and rinsing.
How can I prevent cavities?
Good oral hygiene is the best way to prevent cavities. Brush your teeth twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss every day, and avoid sugary snacks and drinks. Add fibrous food to your diet for natural cleaning of your teeth. Regular checkups and fluoride treatments also help prevent decay.
Are dental implants painful?
Dental implants are generally not painful. We use advanced anesthesia techniques to ensure you're comfortable during the procedure. Afterward, you may experience mild discomfort or swelling, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients find the recovery process easy and quick.
What are the benefits of dental crowns?
Dental crowns restore the appearance and function of damaged teeth, protect weakened teeth, and enhance strength. Crowns improve overall oral health by preventing further damage and preserving the tooth’s structure.
How do I know if I need a root canal?
If you have persistent tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling in the gums, you may need a root canal. Our team will examine your tooth and take X-rays and CT scan to determine the best course of treatment.
What types of dentures are available?
We offer both full and partial dentures, depending on how many teeth need replacing. Full dentures are used when all teeth in an upper or lower jaw are missing, while partial dentures replace single or multiple missing teeth. We also offer flexible ValPlast dentures for a comfortable fit and natural look.
