Services
Pam married her high school sweetheart, Carl in 1984. They have two adult children. Kyle, along with his wife Laura, live in Lexington Kentucky. Their daughter, Kendal, lives in Orlando. They also have three small dogs; Abby, Ruthie and Vinnie. In her free time, Pam enjoys boating, beaching and spending time with her family and friends.
When teeth are missing a series of changes that can impact your overall dental health and jaw function may be initiated. The adjacent teeth may start to drift or tilt into the space, and teeth in the opposing jaw may start to shift toward the area of the missing tooth. It is therefore important to replace the single tooth or multiple teeth that have been lost.
Dr. Parent is a Gainesville dentist who is a graduate of the University of Florida College of Dentistry and has been practicing in Gainesville, FL since 1995. He is currently an examiner for the National Board of Dental Examiners, on staff at North Florida Regional Medical Center, and is a graduate of the Kois Center for Dental Excellence.

I absolutely love Dr. Parent and his employees. First and foremost, everyone is extremely sensitive to the virus and its variants. Consequently, they practice only the highest level of cleanliness. In addition, everyone there is professional, thorough in their examinations, and pleasant to be around. Any residue of fear within the patient is instantly dispelled!
I am a "mature" woman who used to be petrified of dentists, but not with Rick Parent, who is wonderful. He is knowledgable, sensitive to his patients' doubts and hesitations, and exudes confidence in what he does. I would not hesitate

I've been a patient at this practice since the late 1960's, when Dr. Baxter was there. Later Dr. Parent joined the office. I have always been treated with the utmost respect and gentleness by the friendly staff and dentists. The bi-annual cleaning is almost a day to look forward to!
Because they are pro-active, there are never any problems or painful situations. I trust them completely with my teeth!

I avoided the dentist for over 20 years because of past experiences. A family member recommended I go see Dr. Parent. I am glad they did. Not only did he do great work (crowns and fillings), but because of how comfortable Dr. Parent made me feel, I no longer avoid the dentist. I have had several appointments at Parent Dental Group and I will continue to go there regularly. Unnecessary treatment is never pushed. The doctor and staff at Parent Dental Group are always friendly and punctual. If you want a great dental experience, this is the office for you!
