I am writing this on behalf of my mother who was the patient. She was a very difficult case to say the least. We had gone to a big name dentist in town that had given us the runaround. He did not have any idea of how to care for my mom but would not say so. We kept going back for there a while before we realized this, along with much money spent, and nothing to show for it.
The best thing we did was find Premier Dental. From the beginning, they were wonderful. They had to create very individualized mouth pieces and implants for my 87 year old mother as she kept losing teeth. Dr Para had to meet with the lab in GA to help create these pieces for my mom. Jess and Dr Para were always kind, patient and took the time to explain things. I am sure I am missing things, but I hope I got the point across.
Thank you so much to the staff and especially Jess and Dr Para.

I had a wonderful experience in my tissue graft surgery performed by Dr. Craighead, Cheyenne, Jess and Kristen. It’s been over 15 years since I had dental implant surgery by the Premier Dental Team. My constant care and attention has paid off along with the hands of wonderful people. And yes! I am the very own dentist Ada Y. Parra from Premier Dental Team. From being the provider to receiving the care I need and I would want for my patients.

Excellent experience. Dr. Parra explained the process thoroughly and answered all my questions. Dr. Craighead is an excellent surgeon. The procedure went quickly with very little discomfort during and after surgery. I was amazed! Jess and the other staff were very nice and accommodating. Also very good follow- up after surgery. I was very pleased with Premier Dental.

I had a great new patient experience. I was able to book my appointment online. Days later I received a call to go over what to expect and find out my concerns, expectations.
Every person I interacted with were professional, kind and reassuring. The hygienist was incredibly kind, understanding & patient. She explained every step, every detail! I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to visit this practice.

Tracy was very gentle during my procedure. She explained each step before proceeding. She answered all my questions before I left the appointment. Great Job Tracy!

About Premier Dental Team
Premier Dental Team is a specialist dental practice at 3720 Northwest 43rd Street, Suite 102, in Gainesville, Florida. The practice describes itself as the only team in Gainesville pairing a prosthodontist (a specialist in replacing missing teeth) with a periodontist (a specialist in gum and jawbone treatment). Dental implants are a central focus. The doctors handle every stage of implant care under one roof, from implant surgery and bone grafting to designing and placing the final teeth. Implant options listed on the practice's website include single implants, implant bridges, snap-in dentures, and full-arch implants with fixed new teeth placed in one day. The website notes that treatment is planned with three-dimensional imaging and a surgical guide, which the practice says allows for minimally invasive surgery, and that both intravenous and oral sedation are available.
Beyond implants, the practice offers general dentistry such as exams and cleanings, tooth extractions, emergency dental care, jaw joint (TMJ) treatment, mouthguards, and dentures, along with periodontal services including gum disease treatment, scaling and root planing, gum grafting, and gum recession treatment. Cosmetic services include veneers, same-day crowns, fillings, teeth whitening, Invisalign clear aligners, and full-mouth rehabilitation. The office is open Monday through Thursday from 8:30 to 5:30 and Friday mornings from 8:00 to 12:00. The practice offers a complimentary dental implant consultation, accepts most dental insurance plans (though not Medicaid), and works with third-party financing through CareCredit and Lending Club Patient Solutions.
