Ashish Patel

GDC No: 85963

Dr Patel is better known by his team and patients as Ash.

He took over Ringmer Dental in March 2016 and his vision has been to focus on providing unparalleled patient care and offering the highest quality dentistry available

today.

Ash qualified from King’s College London in 2005 and has since worked mostly in private practice. He has developed a keen interest in offering his patients the latest types of cosmetic dentistry, as well as more general dentistry. He strongly believes there are always a number of different options for every patient, and takes time to understand his patients’ needs and preferences, so he can come up with a suitable treatment plan together with his patients. His relaxed style has allowed many patients previously put off dentistry to regain their confidence and achieve their goals.

He has continued to undertake further training all over the world to keep up with the latest changes in dentistry. This has included further courses in advanced smile makeovers under the supervision of Dr Christopher Orr (President of the British Association of Cosmetic Dentistry) and also training at the world renowned Pankey Institute in Miami, USA. Ash has been providing teeth straightening since 2007 and has experience using all the current systems including Invisalign (clear braces) and fixed wire braces.

Away from dentistry, Ash loves spending time with his wife and two young children. He is also a keen fan of all sports and when he is not at work you will either find him watching movies, playing football or supporting Liverpool FC.

Gina Cleveland

Receptionist

Hi, I’m one of the receptionists here at Ringmer Dental Practice. I re-joined in January 2018 after a 3 1/2 year break. I had previously been the ‘Friday lady’ here for many years, so an old face for some

and a new one to many more I hope.

I have always worked in customer service and love what I do. I’m definitely a people person!

Outside of work, I love spending time with family and friends especially my gorgeous grandchildren. My most favourite place to be is watching the sea by one of our many beautiful beaches.
