Local dentist receives fellowship for excellence in oral implantology

Warwick — Dr. Vipul J. Patel, of Warwick Valley Dental, was recently awarded Fellowship status from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Patel completed an intense two-year program at New York University, obtaining advanced credentials in Oral Implantology. He was selected for fellowship from amongst a considerable number of candidates. The International Congress of Oral Implantologists selects fellowship recipients based on a rigorous application process that includes submission of several implant cases in order to receive this prestigious award. Patel was evaluated by a panel for his proficiency and ability in implant placement and restoration. Most general dentists are involved only in the final restoration phase of the implant process. “Participating and successfully completing the course permits me to perform dental implant surgery right in my office from start to finish without having to refer patients out,” says Patel. “This allows me to closely monitor my patients’ progress from beginning to end.” Patel invites questions and offers complimentary consultations for implants and other dental procedures at Warwick Valley Dental, 35 Galloway Road, Warwick, N.Y. 10990. The office can be reached by telephone at 986-4601.
