The Smile Behind Thousands of Smiles
Dr. Shinali Patel graduated from the top Dental School in England, King's College London, so you can rest assured you will be in very good hands.

Her Story
A Lifetime Dedicated to Beautiful, Honest Dentistry
Dr. Shinali Patel's journey in dentistry began at King's College London — one of the most prestigious dental schools in England. After earning her degree, she practiced dentistry in London and Wimbledon for over a decade, building a reputation for gentle, meticulous care.
She then moved to the United States and completed the international dental training program at Loma Linda University in Southern California, graduating with honors.
Post-graduation, Dr. Patel completed Advanced Education in Dental Implants and has continued staying up to date with new technology and developments in dentistry. She has trained with some of the world's most prominent general dental and cosmetic specialists and has practiced dentistry for more than 20 years, treating patients of all ages and backgrounds.
Always Advancing
Committed to the Latest in Dental Technology
Dr. Patel believes that great dentistry means continually embracing the tools and techniques that make care better and more comfortable. She stays up to date with new technology and developments in dentistry, ensuring her patients benefit from the most advanced treatments available.
Today, she's bringing that same thoughtful approach to custom porcelain veneers — helping Riverside patients plan natural-looking smile upgrades through a careful, personalized process from consultation through final bonding.
"Let’s make your smile your favorite feature."
— Dr. Shinali Patel
Dr. Patel treats every patient like they're her own family, not just a patient. Her goal is to never let you stop smiling, and to make you feel comfortable and relaxed.
That means honest recommendations, not sales pitches. It means being transparent about costs and options. It means taking the time to actually listen. Patients don't come to Riverside Dental Center to feel like a chart number — they come because Dr. Patel has earned their trust through years of compassionate, expert care.
