Dr. Devin Patel - Restorative Doctor in Fort Mill

Dr. Devin Patel is the restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina. He chose dentistry because it is one of the few professions where you can make an immediate, visible difference in someone’s life. Helping patients go from disliking their smile to feeling confident again is what drives his work every day.

‍

Dr. Patel earned his dental degree from the Dental College of Georgia. He enjoys restorative dentistry because it allows him to focus on both function and appearance—making sure patients can smile, speak, and eat comfortably.

‍

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Patel was drawn to Nuvia in Fort Mill, SC for one main reason: the ability to deliver a complete smile transformation in just 24 hours. In other settings, even if patients wanted that outcome, the structure and support simply haven’t been there to make it happen.

‍

At Nuvia, the teamwork and systems are built specifically to support Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours. That infrastructure allows Dr. Patel to focus on designing smiles that fit each patient’s goals—without stretching treatment over months or years.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside the clinic, Dr. Patel enjoys skiing and spending time outdoors. He and his wife also love traveling and are working their way through visiting as many U.S. national parks as possible. Exploring new places together is one of their favorite ways to unwind and recharge.

Dr. Terry Dingbaum is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Fort Mill, South Carolina. He has been involved in dentistry since the age of 13, starting with small jobs for local dentists before eventually working inside their offices. From an early age, he knew dentistry was the right path for him.

‍

Dr. Dingbaum earned his dental degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska, and is approaching 37 years in dentistry. Throughout his career, he has focused on long-term outcomes, predictability, and helping patients regain comfort and confidence with their smiles.

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Dingbaum was drawn to Nuvia because of its focus on patients who have often struggled with dental care due to fear, complexity, or long treatment timelines. In traditional implant dentistry, he saw how drawn-out and difficult the process could be—for both patients and providers.

‍

What stood out to him about Nuvia was the ability to simplify that journey. The Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours process removes months of uncertainty and allows patients to complete treatment quickly and move forward with their lives. For Dr. Dingbaum, that clarity and efficiency make a real difference in patient care.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Dingbaum values time with his family above all else, especially his two young grandchildren. He also has a strong passion for skiing and staying active in the mountains, which makes Fort Mill—and frequent trips west—the perfect fit for his lifestyle.
