ALL YOUR DENTAL NEEDS UNDER ONE ROOF
The vision for Durham Dental Group (DDG) involved having a state of the art, multi-disciplinary practice that allowed Dr. Parekh and Dr. Ali to perform a majority of dental services in house and minimize the need for our patients to be referred elsewhere. Dr. Parekh and Dr. Ali have many years of experience and knowledge that they have accumulated taking continued education courses as well as through their respective training in the general practice residency program. They both have the skill sets needed to perform restorative and cosmetic dentistry in order to rehabilitate your teeth to their proper function and form and transform your life by creating the beautiful smile that you’ve always dreamed of. Dr. Parekh is also an expert in the field of sedation and implant dentistry. He has performed additional training in residency and attained his moderate sedation license, which allows him to exclusively be part of the 5% of dentists in North Carolina to offer I.V. sedation to his patients as a service to help manage and treat those suffering with dental anxiety. He has a passion for giving people their confidence and self esteem back and provides a variety of sedation options that are customized based on your needs and budget.
By offering and having expertise in all of the dental services available in one place, we allow for communication on different aspects of your smile so that we can deliver the best result possible.

RELATIONSHIP BASED DENTAL PRACTICE
When was the last time your doctor gave you his personal cell phone number? When was the last time your doctor called you after performing a big dental procedure to check up on you and answer any questions that you may have? We’re willing to bet it wasn’t recently or that you’ve most likely never experienced something like this as a patient. For Dr. Parekh and Dr. Ali, this is simply the standard which they abide by as they genuinely care about how their patients are doing after a dental procedure is performed. Both doctors and their team of wonderful assistants will do a courtesy follow up call after the procedure is performed so they can answer any questions the patient may have and check up on how they are healing. When choosing your dental home, you want someone you can reach in an emergency; a team that’s available and accommodating when you have follow-up questions, even when it’s after 5:00 pm or on a weekend. The team at Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry offers unmatched accessibility, and not just when we’re on the clock. It’s what sets us apart from the rest.

TOP REVIEWED. TOP RATED.
In today’s day and age, what is the first thing you do when you’re thinking of using a business? You Google them so you can read what others have to say about them via their reviews! When it comes to finding your dentist, we believe that this process should not be any different. Online reviews are authentic and give you an unfiltered look and an unbiased opinion as to what other patients really think about us.

We have had the privilege to serve our community and take care of anxious patients by redefining what the dental experience should feel like in the 21st Century.

AWARDS AND TRAINING
If you want a natural, authentic smile, you need a dentist that has the skill set to deliver the results that you’ve always been looking for. As you’re considering a dental home, we believe you should check out the dentist’s accolades, industry honors and special certifications. Both Dr. Parekh and Dr. Ali and their team spend thousands of hours taking continued education courses each year to stay up to date with the latest materials and technology that dentistry has to offer. They are constantly learning each day as they are committed to perfecting their craft and are on a mission pursue excellence. In order to be able to offer all services in house and stay on top of their game, this constant thirst to learn is a must for the Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry team so they can offer the best treatment options available based on the patient’s individual wants and needs.
LOCAL AND FAMILY OWNED
More and more dental practices are being bought up by corporate entities and venture capitalists. Why? You guessed it: to make a profit. When you’re focused on the bottom line only, it’s impossible to provide the greatest experience. This is why Dr. Parekh and Dr. Ali set up roots in Durham and Wake County as they firmly believe dentistry should be local. They wanted to impact patients in the very communities that they live in and serve a bigger purpose by creating newer and healthier smiles.
LITTLE TO NO WAIT TIME
Your time is important to us, plain and simple but when it comes to the medical industry, adhering to a schedule seems to go out the window. We’ve grown so accustomed to waiting an hour or more in the doctor’s office that we take it as the norm. We at Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry strongly believe that it doesn’t have to be that way. When you have an appointment with us, our team will be ready and waiting for your visit with a smile, and not the other way around. The two patient lounges that we have at Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry are usually empty, and for good reason. We see our patient within minutes of arrival in most cases. If not, we consider ourselves late and do everything we can do to get back on schedule. Time is money, we won’t waste yours.
PATIENT COMFORT VIA ENTERTAINMENT
At Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry we believe that dentistry should be redefined, refreshed, and reimagined in the 21st Century. When it’s time for your dental appointment, kick back in our premium leather chairs and rejoice that every one of our dental suites is equipped with a pillow, blanket, sunglasses, and a big screen TV for your comfort. No more staring at blinding bright lights or a boring poster during your appointment. We realize not everyone loves going to the dentist and watching your favorite show or movie allows your mind to relax and stay distracted while we help create your ideal smile. We understand that undergoing dental procedures can sometimes be a daunting experience. That’s why we strive to enhance your comfort and relaxation during your visit. To provide you with an enjoyable distraction, we offer over 100 HD channels that you can stream directly to TVs positioned on the ceiling. This allows you to tune in to your favorite shows or movies, helping you to relax and zone out while receiving your dental treatment. Our goal is to create a more pleasant and stress-free environment for you, ensuring that your dental experience is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. At Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry, we intend on taking you to your happy place while we make your mouth look great.
STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
At Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry, ALL of our x-rays are digital and this includes our panoramic x-ray machine. Our x-ray system is a computerized imaging system that utilizes an electronic sensor instead of an X-ray film. We also use a lightweight, handheld portable x-ray unit that is straight from a futuristic science fiction movie. This innovative EZRay Air has a double protection design allowing internal shielding and external backscatter shielding that allows for amazing clarity all while offering maximum protection to the patient and the operator. The sensors produce sharp and clear images that appear almost instantly on a computer screen and help us detect and diagnose cavities earlier on. Digital x-rays use up to 90% less radiation than conventional film X-rays. We have created a dental office that is as environmentally friendly as possible. We utilize all-digital charting for paper reduction, digital X-rays to reduce processing chemicals and radiation and Energy Star lighting to reduce energy consumption.
We also have the latest Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) machine at our dental office which enables precise 3D imaging of oral structures, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning for procedures like dental implants and root canals. Our CBCT scans offer comprehensive views with ultra-low radiation exposure compared to traditional CT scans, prioritizing patient safety. Integrating CBCT technology at our office enhances diagnostic capabilities, treatment precision, and overall patient satisfaction.
Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry also offers nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for those patients who request it. Nitrous oxide helps ease the anxiety of your dental visit and is proven to aid in pain reduction, as well as lessen the amount of local anesthetic you may need for a given procedure. Levels for nitrous oxide and sedation can be easily adjusted for the best possible effect for each individual patient.
CONVENIENT LOCATION
The location for Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry was carefully chosen with one goal in mind: accessibility and convenience for our patients. We believe that dentistry should be local and that is why we chose to set down roots in the SouthPoint Crossing shopping center right off of Highway 54 and Fayetteville Road. We can’t imagine a more seamless fit than being in the heart of the Triangle Area so we can extend our reach and be able to serve patients from Durham, Chapel Hill, Morrisville, Cary, Apex, Hillsborough, Holly Springs, Raleigh, Fuquay, Varina, Mebane, Burlington and the surrounding communities. Being anchored next to a Harris Teeter is extremely convenient as there is never a shortage of parking spaces and most of our patients love that they can pop over for groceries or grab a quick bite to eat with family after their dental visit. We wanted to create an experience that truly fit into our patients everyday life to allow for convenience.
OPEN AND CLEAN STERILIZATION
When choosing a dentist, you want the peace of mind that comes with knowing the equipment used will be clean and safe, especially in this day and age. When sterilization happens behind closed doors, it’s easy to let your mind run wild imagining how the equipment is, or is not, kept clean. At Durham Dental Group: Sedation, Implant & Family Dentistry, our sterilization station is a focal point of our office as we want patients to be able to see what is happening behind the scenes. We show our sterilization off on our office tours and are happy to demonstrate our stringent cleanliness protocols to anyone that may be interested. We also wipe down and spraydown all high contact surfaces in the patient lounge (pens, door knobs, patient lounge chairs) and have a hand sanitizer available at check in for the safety of our patients and team members alike. Masks are required at all times and we also have two patient lounges available for maximizing social distancing. All CDC and OSHA guidelines are taken extremely seriously and we go above and beyond the sterilization standards to ensure the safety of our patients and team members.
