A Specialist You Can Actually Talk To
There is a particular kind of reassurance that comes from knowing your dentist's qualifications are not just listed on a wall certificate but earned through years of dedicated clinical practice. Dr. Mangesh Kadu Patil is that kind of specialist. Based in Wakad, Pune, he has spent 15 years building both his clinical skills and the kind of patient-doctor trust that only comes with time and consistency.
Dr. Patil completed his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik in 2011. He then pursued his postgraduate degree - Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics - from BBDU, Lucknow, which he completed in 2014. The MDS specialisation is a three-year, nationally competitive programme that trains dentists specifically in diagnosing and correcting misaligned teeth, improper bites, jaw development issues and dentofacial growth patterns. It is the foundational qualification for anyone practicing orthodontics at a specialist level in India.
Since completing his MDS, Dr. Patil has been in active specialist practice for 11 years. That is 11 years of placing braces, designing treatment plans, treating children's developing jaws, correcting adult bite problems and doing the kind of fine clinical work that orthodontics demands.

Why Dr. Patil Chose to Practice in Wakad
Wakad sits at the intersection of old Pune and new Pune. The rapid residential growth of the PCMC belt - driven by IT expansion in Hinjewadi and infrastructure improvements along the Pune-Mumbai expressway corridor - brought thousands of families and young professionals into the area who needed good local healthcare, including quality dental care.
Dr. Patil saw a clear gap: patients in Wakad and the surrounding PCMC localities were either going to expensive chain dental clinics in Baner or Kothrud, or settling for general practitioners who lacked specialist expertise. Establishing Patil's Dental Care in Wakad was a deliberate choice to bring specialist-level orthodontic and dental care closer to where people actually live.
Today, the clinic serves patients not just from Wakad but from Hinjewadi, Pimple Saudagar, Pimple Nilakh, Rahatani, Tathawade, Thergaon and Chinchwad - with many patients commuting specifically to see Dr. Patil after referrals from other dental clinics who do not have an in-house orthodontist or implantologist.
