Originally from Albany, N.Y., Dr. Parth Parekh graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Buffalo with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and a minor in Mathematics and graduated top 10 in his class while earning a Doctorate in Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) from the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. Him and his wife decided to put down roots in the Triangle Area in 2017 and have loved being a part of the community ever since!
Dr. Parekh provides unparalleled patient care in areas of cosmetic, restorative, and full-mouth rehabilitation and focuses his efforts on developing meaningful, long-lasting relationships with all of his patients. Dr. Parekh is best known for using his vast training in sedation dentistry to make even the most apprehensive patients feel comfortable and at ease at Durham Dental Group.
Before becoming a co-owner of Durham Dental Group with his best friend and dental classmate Dr. Ali, Dr. Parekh completed a two-year General Practice Residency at the Dental College of Georgia at Augusta University, where he received extensive training in surgical, cosmetic and implant dentistry, intravenous (I.V.) sedation, wisdom teeth extractions, Invisalign, and managing medically compromised and anxious patients.
Dr. Parekh is one of the youngest recipients in the nation of the highly coveted Fellowship in the International Congress of Implantologists after having placed over 200 implants during his time in residency. In addition, he is one of the few dentists that has passed the written test and is pursuing a Fellowship in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. In his quest to perfect his skills in implant dentistry and intravenous sedation, Dr. Parekh completed 360 hours of continued education in a nine-month implant continuum at the AAID MaxiCourse and performed over 175 I.V. sedations during his two-year residency in Augusta, Georgia.
It was while he was pursuing his passion in implant dentistry that he discovered a love for teaching. Dr. Parekh has assisted in teaching the hands-on components of placing and restoring implants, performing I.V. sedation, and bone grafting procedures to dentists and residents from all around the nation that have now integrated these skills into their own private practices. He continues to volunteer his time as a part-time clinical instructor in the Department of Oral Rehabilitation at the Dental College of Georgia, where he focuses on mentoring dental residents in implant and sedation dentistry.
Dr. Parekh is a firm believer in giving back to underprivileged communities nationally and internationally and has traveled to remote areas of Tennessee and the Dominican Republic to provide free dental services for those in need. In his free time, he loves to travel with his wife, watch UNC basketball, exercise, cook, and spend time with family and friends.
The traditional 9:00-5:00 office hours dont always fit your needs. How are you supposed to get the dental care you need if you cant make it to the office for a procedure? What if your child has a toothache or you chip a tooth over the Saturday? What you need is a dentist open on Saturday, a dentist with evening hours, or a walk-in dentist.
A toothache, broken tooth, or other tooth injury is never convenient. We understand that your urgent needs are not always going to fit within typical office hours, so we offer extended hours in order to serve you when you need it the most. Here at Durham Dental Group, we open early and close late, and were even open on Saturdays. Come see us when you need emergency dental care!
In the event of a dental injury, you should call your emergency dentist at Durham Dental Group as soon as possible. Here are some common dental emergencies and information on what to do while you wait to be seen.

First, I would like to thank Dr Ali and Dr Parik for their dedication and commitment they have shown to me during my dental treatment. My case required special attention, care, and coordination that I found only at Durham Dental Group. I have been treated by very good professionals over the years and can safely say that what set them a part from others is not only their skills as professionals but also their doctor-patient relation that shows care. Additionally, the office team is very accommodating thus creating a relaxing office visits. I highly recommend Durham Dental Group!

Dr. Parekh, Dr. Ali, and the rest of the team at Durham Dental Group were a wonderful and amazing group of individuals to be treated by! My first dental visit with them felt very welcoming and were filled with great conversations during the appointment. I would HIGHLY recommend this dental clinic to anybody who is looking for a new dental office to establish care with!

1st time visiting and loved this dental experience. From the time I entered the front door, registration was a breeze, X-rays and oral exam was done, Dr. Parekh thoroughly explained what my X-rays showed and the treatment plan developed. I appreciate everyone taking their time out, and having hours of operation on Saturdays which was #1 n my decision to allow Durham Dental group to be a part of my Dental health. Lastly, every part of this office was extremely clean which was another plus. Enjoyed my experience.

Update: IMPLANT PROCEDURE! I had to come in for a dental implant. It was a breeze! I was terrified of the shot and the actual surgery but I took tylenol 40 minutes before appointment and I held the assistants hand, but it never hurt. I was so happy. Overall very very calming experience. I was laughing at the drilling part because the vibrating felt funny lol. If I ever need another implant, I hope not, but if I needed one, I know where I'm coming to to. Thank you so much Dr.P Very great experience! Chris, my hygienist was very gentle and very thorough! She explained everything she was doing and it made me feel at ease. Dr Ali was awesome!!! 5 stars id give 10 if I could Definitely happy to be a patient here.

Although no one looks forward to a root canal, Dr. Ali and Potter made mine today a very enjoyable experience. Both were professional and amicable, ensuring that I felt in control and knew what was going on at all times. Despite the lengthy procedure, they worked efficiently taking breaks when necessary, and it didn't feel long at all. They gave clear instructions on taking care of my teeth afterwards, and the reception staff has always been open to my calls and questions. Overall, a great experience!

I had an amazing experience with this practice! Jo and Aida the receptionists were so friendly and welcoming on the phone and in the office. Deanna the hygienist was amazing as well. I saw Dr. Parekh as an emergency. He took me right in. Unfortunately I had to have my tooth pulled an implant put in. I was scared, but he made me feel so comfortable. They offer sedation, but I did with only Novocain because that's how much I trusted him. I won't go anywhere else. Finally a after years of trying to find a dentist I liked I finally found one and they make me feel like family. my whole family and some of my friends go there now. I highly recommend them.
