Dr. Pennington and Dr. Parker have extensive experience with providing full-mouth dental restorations. They all possess the advanced training and interdisciplinary skills required to treat complex cases and do so with kindness and compassion.
Our goal is to restore your dental health so that you may enjoy an improved quality of life. In fact, we’ve had patients comment that their mouth is in the best condition of their life after full-mouth reconstruction.
Our doctors provide experienced, comprehensive care with kindness and compassion.
Dr. Parker gets rave reviews from his patients and his peers. He is known for his kind and gentle touch, friendly, easy-going manner, and his genuine concern for his patients’ well-being. Many patients warmly address him as “Dr. Sid”, and others have called him their hero. He is often referred to as a “perfectionist” by patients and peers alike.
While attending high school, Dr. Pennington worked at Radenco Dental Lab in Millen, Georgia. He continued to work at dental labs while pursuing his Bachelor of Science at Georgia Southern University, which reinforced his appreciation of the skilled craftsmanship that is required to create lifelike dental restorations.
Our doctors really take the time to listen to you and want to understand your personal needs and goals for your oral health. They discuss options with you and can provide general information on treatment costs for you to review at your leisure.
Your doctor will provide a thorough oral examination to evaluate the state of your current oral health and will review your dental and medical history.
Photography provides your doctor with a visual reference so that he may study your case and plan treatment, even when you are not in the office.
Study models are created from an initial impression of your mouth. They provide a “before” three-dimensional replica of your mouth. Wax is added to the study and manipulated to show what your restoration will look like after completion.
These tools allow us—and you—to preview the proposed treatment plan and modify it until it meets your final approval.
Temporary restorations are an excellent resource for “test driving” your reconstruction. We can test the alignment of the bite and review your new smile. We take digital photos of you with your temporary restorations and work closely with our world-class VIVIDX lab artisans to perfect the final outcome.
Your full-mouth reconstruction has been completed to your—and our—complete satisfaction! You have your final porcelain restorations and can enjoy life to the fullest.
A full-mouth reconstruction can involve one or more of the following:
Implant posts are inserted into the jawbone and attached to crowns, dental bridges, or dentures to replace missing teeth. Dental implants are the best solution for a single missing tooth.
When all of your teeth are missing or are simply too damaged to be salvaged, custom dentures can be anchored with dental implants to restore chewing ability and stimulate bone to deter loss. Your existing dentures may also be retrofitted to snap onto implants and achieve the same benefits.
Implants can support a dental bridge without the need to alter healthy adjacent teeth. A series of implant-supported bridges can replace all your teeth with natural-looking results.
Healthy gums are vital for saving teeth. We can provide treatment to improve the health of your gums and offer suggestions for preventative care at home.
To save a damaged tooth, an infected root and pulp in the pulp chamber need to be removed, and the chamber needs to be cleaned and filled.
Bite misalignment and issues with the TMJ (jaw joint) can cause pain that radiates to the head and neck. We provide effective treatment for these issues.

“Although the treatment was intense and took some time, every step was explained, and all costs were examined and approved. Whenever there was the smallest chance that I would feel distressed or anxious, it was addressed immediately.
My professional work (providing training) required a great deal of talking, both in person and on camera. I was very self-conscious about the condition of my mouth, and it was worsening.
It was a long process, but I should have had the work done a long time ago. I now have the confidence to smile, can eat my favorite foods, and speak in a normal voice.”
“The practice and everyone that works there are extremely professional, caring people who strive to do their best and to be the best. I logged many hours in the dentist’s chair, and the staff made every effort to keep me comfortable and entertained.
The way Dr. Parker strives for perfection in his work means a lot to me. He is very respectful of his patients and staff, which reflects well on the success of the practice. I have recommended Parker and Pennington Dentistry many times, with full confidence, and will continue to do so.”
“Both my husband and I have been patients of Drs. Parker and Pennington for quite a while now, and we’ve been extremely satisfied with the service and care we have received from their practice. We’ve had crowns, fillings, dental implants, overlays, and probably some other procedures that I can’t recall, and all the work was excellent and as painless as possible.
The doctors and staff go to great lengths to make you comfortable and to treat you like a cherished friend. The billing folks take care of filing insurance forms for you, and the receptionist calls with appointment reminders. The waiting room is never crowded—you don’t get the feeling that you’re part of a production line. Also, the dentists not only take the time to educate you and discuss treatment with you, they also listen to what you have to say. There are no surprises.
This dental practice was recommended to me by a coworker who was thrilled with the results of their dental work, and both of us recommend Parker & Pennington Dentistry to anyone who asks us about our dentists.
Simply put, these folks ARE the BEST.”
