At West End Dental Group, we do everything possible to create a practice with an enjoyable and family-friendly atmosphere. This combined with our dedication to high-quality care, advanced dental technology, and accommodating team members makes your next dental visit a truly productive one. We hope youll consider giving Dr. Suzette Parker and her team a visit in the near future for all of your oral health needs in Beaumont and the surrounding areas!
We care about serving people of all ages. Not only does this make visits with your family all the more convenient, but you dont have to travel nearly as much just to maintain your long-term oral health. Our team members are experts in working with patients of all ages, and thats clear the moment you step in with your children. Were more than happy to see patients as young as one year of age and accommodate those with special needs.
Trust is crucial for any relationship with your medical professional, not just the dentist. When you dont have a relationship built on mutual trust, it can make visiting more difficult than it needs to be. West End Dental Group works hard to earn your trust and keep it for many years to come, so you can feel comfortable getting your checkup, cleaning or other treatments done without feeling anxious or doubtful in any way.
West End Dental Group is happy to accept your dental insurance and file claims on your behalf. When you have a dental plan you can rely on, youre treatments become far more affordable, especially for long-term preventive care. We want to make sure that you maximize benefits where you can for all of your family members, so feel free to ask us questions about the best way to schedule your treatments moving forward!
When Dr. Parker was a child, she had extremely crooked teeth, which made her extremely self-conscious during such formative years of her life. After receiving orthodontic treatment, she felt like a completely different person! It was right then and there that she realized how important your teeth are and the impact they can have on each individual person. She decided that she would love to change lives through dentistry and after almost 25 years of practice, shes still never regretted that choice!
After completing her undergraduate degree at Texas A&M, Dr. Parker pursued her Doctor of Dental Surgery at the UT Health Science Center at San Antonio. Today, she keeps current on advancements in general dentistry by attending up to 18 hours of continuing education each year on various topics, including prosthodontics, pedodontics, restorative care, and cosmetic dentistry.
