I have been a patient with Dr. Parks for almost a year now. Eight years before I met Dr. Park, I had been fighting a losing battle with the same two teeth. After several different surgery’s (including two root canal surgery’s) the teeth where pulled. I went almost two years with both of my lower molars missing. I did not like the idea of a bridge, and thought that implants where too expensive. Eventually, I began price hunting, and came across Dr. Parks. His prices where the most affordable of any other place that I had investigated. Now, after a 6 month process, I have two fully completed implants that look and feel like real teeth. With no question, the implants have been worth every penny. The operations took several hours, but Dr. Park worked patiently and was thorough with every detail. I recommend him to anyone looking for improving their teeth.

In a nut shell, Dr. Park is AWESOME!! Over the past 35 years, I have been to over 20+ different dentists from all over the country, many of them were specialists. And I can say, unequivocally, that Dr. Park is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I will never go to anyone else and I believe I speak from a great deal of personal experience to make such a statement. His professionalism and expertise with his extraordinary surgical abilities and implant practice is exceptional beyond belief. I’ve been his patient for almost three years now. I’ve had a great deal of dental work done over the years and prior to coming to Dr. Park, I was going to a dentist in Ohio who had put in six implants. To make a long and horrific story short, all but two of those implants were not good. Plus, the original problem that caused the necessity to have to get the implants was never addressed; meaning, that eventually I would have had future serious problems to deal with.
When I first came to Dr. Park, he reviewed my records from my previous dentist and spent a great deal of time explaining everything that went wrong and why… and what did go right, and why. I’ve never had a dentist take such care and patience in explaining such intricate work in terms that I could understand. Additionally, I have never had a dentist spend so much time on figuring out what the original problem was, in order to determine the next best steps to take to correct everything. Had my previous dentist done this, I probably would not have needed to seek out a new dentist to fix what he had done wrong. But I am forever grateful to Dr. Park because he and his staff have taken such wonderful care of me and my dental needs. Before even beginning on the work he had to do, Dr. Park prepared a very detailed plan of action that would address the original problem I had with my lower teeth, then moved forward removing the implants that needed to be replaced. This kind of quality work takes time of course, but it has been worth every minute and every dollar spent. Like most things in life, you get what you pay for, but in Dr. Park’s case, you get so much more than that.
It is also important to understand the kind of staff Dr. Park has working with him. As you can imagine, I’ve been through my share of dental assistants and receptionists over the years. Just like Dr. Park, Sue, his assistant and Sharon, his receptionist/secretary are by far the best I have ever had the pleasure of being with. The two of them made me feel right at home and very comfortable from my very first visit onward. I usually get a little nervous on surgery days, but these two have a way about them that puts me totally at ease and feeling relaxed and confident. As with Dr. Park, Sue and Sharon naturally go above and beyond their duties when it comes to the care of their patients. Most of the time, Sue is a step ahead of Dr. Park, as if she can read his mind. They work together extremely well. The whole office atmosphere is unlike any I have experienced before and like I said in the beginning, I will forever be grateful to them all. Unlike in the past, I actually look forward to my dental appointments because it feels like I’m going to see a part of my own family.

Dr. Park definitely goes above and beyond any other dentist I have ever been to and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in the world. His work is impeccable, his staff is unparalleled and his rates/prices are very reasonable.- Paula Rust
Words cannot express my gratitude to Dr. Park and his outstanding work! My general dentist told me I needed a crown; my tooth was beyond repair by conventional means. I went to Dr. Park after hearing good reports from other patients to get a second opinion. Dr Park reviewed my X-rays and told me he had advanced techniques that could save the tooth and basically build up and strengthen the tooth instead. After a pain free hour, my tooth was fixed. I'm not an easy patient to please and I am absolutely thrilled that Dr. Park saved my tooth (not to mention a wad of money.)
I'm very impressed that Dr. Park continues to learn the most innovative techniques in dentistry. I want the very best dental care for my family. Dr Park is my dentist for life!- Paula Mosteller
For nearly 20 years, beginning with a routine cleaning and examination that resulted in a serious jaw infection and loss of a tooth, I have had a continuing series of gum and tooth issues that have resulted in the loss of several additional teeth, many bouts of gum infection and significant bone loss in my jaw.
Though I made many visits to dentists none did more than treat an immediate problem. They never appeared interested in determining the causes of my problems or in developing a long term strategy to stop and reverse the deterioration.
Several months ago, after loosing a front tooth, I began searching for a dentist to install a removable denture for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Park’s office was convenient to my office so I made an appointment with him.
What a stroke of luck! During the first exam, Dr. Park explained in great detail the probable reasons for my problems and suggested several options for halting the deterioration and restoring my teeth and jaw to a healthy condition. He discussed the merits of implants and the long term advantage they have over dentures. He discussed low cost and high cost approaches to restoring my teeth and gums and the probable results of each. Most importantly, Dr. Park avoided a “quick fix” approach and instead recommended a conservative, practical and phased approach that when completed would ensure that all teeth and implants in my mouth are strong and function properly.
I am nearing completion of phase one of the plan. Dr. Park and his able staff have spent numerous hours cleaning and stabilizing my gums and teeth, taking X-Rays, making molds, evaluating my bone structure, identifying teeth to be removed and inserting the first implants - keeping me informed as to what they were doing and why all the while. Amazingly throughout the process, to include removal of another tooth and insertion of the implants, I have had virtually no pain.
Since starting with Dr. Park, I have had no additional infection, teeth that were loose have gotten stronger, and from the latest X-Rays I have new bone growing around the implants.
Dr. Park and his staff are truly talented and professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Park to be your dentist.

When I first met Dr. Park about 2 years ago, I wasn't even thinking about having implants done, even though I had 6 of my upper back teeth missing, 3 on each side. The missing teeth were due to bone loss which loosened my teeth, and they had to be pulled. After having major work done on my teeth over the years, I was pretty sure this was what I was going to live with ... missing back teeth. Dr. Park explained the procedure of implants and assured me that he had a lot of experience in mouth restructuring, and that he could do a "permanent fix" on my upper teeth. He also explained that this is not an inexpensive procedure, but was a necessary one if I wanted to keep my remaining teeth intact and wanted a correct bite. He explained that there would be some minor pain, but he would have some medication that I could take for this.
After talking this over with my husband, we both agreed that it would be a wise investment. It was a long procedure, probably 1-1/2 years, for both sides to be completed. The pain through all of this was truly minimal. There was quite a bit of swelling and some yellow bruise marks, but it looked worse than it felt. The swelling was totally gone in a week. Today, I am able to eat and chew things properly that I hadn't been able to do for quite some time. The implants feel just like my real teeth and look even better. I also have my nice smile back. Dr. Park and his staff made this experience as pleasant as they possibly could, and I am a satisfied customer!!!
