Dr. Kalpesh Patel
Hello! My name is Dr. Kalpesh Patel. I was raised in Texarkana and am a proud homegrown Texan as there was never any doubt that I would make Dallas my home. I invite you and your family to come and experience a better dental office! I look forward to meeting you soon.
In May of 2006, I completed my dental training at one of the most prestigious dental schools in the nation, Baylor College of Dentistry. My passion for dentistry, is founded on my love for people. In fact, this motivated me to establish my own practice.
In June of 2009, I opened Active Dental of Irving. Since then, we have been helping individuals attain healthy, beautiful smiles. In December of 2019, we established our second practice, Active Dental of Arlington. Arlington, TX is a great location in DFW. I enjoy the great community here and how fast the community is expanding! You can imagine how excited we were to extend our services to more members of our community!
Because my mission has always been to provide world-class dental service, I place great value in staying up-to-date with the latest technology and the most current techniques. This enables me to provide the best care to all of my patients! My dental team shares in that same vision which is why we are successful at making everyone feel right at home!
On a personal level, I accomplished yet another milestone in January 2013 when I married my best friend, Hetal! Now I am working on getting her to join me on supporting the best basketball team out there, the Dallas Mavericks!
Dr. Samantha Young
It is such a blessing to be a part of a wonderful team at Active Dental Irving! My name is Dr. Samantha Young, I was born in Los Angeles, CA and spent most of my childhood growing up in Indiana and Dallas, TX.
I always gravitated towards dentistry since I was little. My journey to dentistry started at a young age of seven years old playing with dental stone and putty at my father’s dental school. Fast forward a few years, I continued in pursuit of dentistry at the University of Texas at Austin where I obtained my BS degree in Kinesiology. Following my Undergraduate studies, I completed a Masters Degree in Biomedical Science degree at Barry University in sunny Florida. I completed my training at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine where I obtained my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree.
My approach to dentistry can best be described as gentle, attentive, communicative, and patient-focused to make sure we meet your unique dental needs. I strive to help patient’s obtain and maintain smiles by using up-to-date techniques with a delicate hand to provide esthetic and functional results. We take pride in our advanced technology to help aid in understanding your oral health.
In my free time, I enjoy hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time with friends and family. I also love to run marathons and half marathons. You will most likely find me on trails, the track, or traveling to my next race!
Dr. Saleha Sherwani
I am thrilled to bring my passion for dentistry and commitment to patient care to the Active Dental family! I’m a Texan through and through, and happy to be settled here as well. I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Houston and my doctorate degree at the Arizona School of Dentistry and Oral Health.
Having been a frequent dental patient growing up, I aim to have a personalized approach to dentistry, prioritizing patient education and communication. I believe that an informed patient is an empowered one, and work to ensure each individual feels confident in their oral health decisions. With a comprehensive background in oral health and a dedication to creating positive dental experiences, I am excited to contribute to the growth and success of the community and practice.
