About Us - Enrique Parra Dental Care Clinic

Our Dental Treatment Philosophy

At the Enrique Parra Dental Care clinic we understand how important it is to your well-being and even to your future, to be able to smile openly and confidently. Our goal is to provide you with effective dental treatment at a reasonable price so you can put your best ‘face’ forward at all times.

We believe that while the latest technological developments may provide important dental solutions, just because a procedure or material is ‘new’ or has a fancy name, doesn’t mean it’s better or appropriate for every patient. We provide proven dental care that meets your individual needs and never promote procedures just because they’re trendy or popular.

Our focus is providing you with exactly the right treatment to meet your esthetic and comfort goals for a manageable cost and every patient is a VIP – ‘Very Important Patient’.
