Wilmette Dental Institute Youth Initiative

Have you ever thought about becoming a dentist? Perhaps you're interested in the business side of dentistry and would like to know how a dental practice runs efficiently and effectively. 

Dentistry may be the ideal career for you if you're interested in a profession where you can help people, provide life-changing treatment, enjoy variety in your schedule each day, and run your own small business!

An Inspired Career Path

Dr. Nolan Patel grew up observing the joys his father experienced from running his own business as an entrepreneur and the gratification his mother and sister received working in the medical field. Being a dentist combines both interests, and he finds the profession extremely rewarding. 

On his path to becoming a dentist, Dr. Nolan received valuable mentorship from a dentist who allowed him to shadow, observe dental procedures, and learn the ins and outs of effectively running a thriving dental practice. This mentorship served Dr. Nolan throughout his college career and beyond. He even worked for this same dentist for his first year out of dental school before purchasing his own dental practice. 

Now, Dr. Nolan would like to offer this same valuable opportunity to the next generation of dental students!

Paying It Forward

Dr. Nolan dedicates much of his time outside the dental office to speaking at local high schools about dentistry. He's also offering students the opportunity to shadow him at his dental practice in Wilmette to learn more about dentistry and see if it's the right career choice. 

If you become serious about being a dentist, Dr. Nolan is willing to help you apply to dental school and write a recommendation letter. 

He understands how valuable his time spent with his mentor was and looks forward to helping guide and teach future dentists as well!
