Kind of Dental
Experience
Meet Dr. Phil & Caroline
The Parks Dentistry was founded by Dr. Phil Mintern and Caroline Bell Mintern with a simple goal: to create a dental experience that feels more comfortable, personal, and thoughtfully delivered.
Phil brings decades of trusted clinical care and a calm, reassuring approach to dentistry, while Caroline focuses on creating an experience that feels welcoming, seamless, and genuinely patient-first – from the moment you walk through the door.
"We wanted to create the kind of dental experience we’d want for our own family."

WHAT SETS US APART
Discover our Services
Whether you’re visiting for routine care, advanced treatment, or a smile transformation, our services are designed around one goal: making dentistry feel calmer, more comfortable, and genuinely patient-focused.
ADVANCED COMFORT
SOLEA Laser Dentistry
A quieter, more comfortable alternative to traditional dentistry—often with little or no freezing, less drilling, and reduced anxiety. Designed to help treatment feel faster, gentler, and easier.
COMFORT & CALM
Oral Sedation
Dental visits don’t have to feel stressful. Oral sedation helps many patients feel calm, relaxed, and comfortable—making care feel easier from start to finish.
ONE VISIT CONVENIENCE
Same-Day Crowns
Restore damaged or weakened teeth in just one visit with custom-designed crowns created right here in our office. No temporary crowns, fewer appointments, and a simpler, more comfortable experience.
CONFIDENCE & ALIGNMENT
Invisalign Aligners
A comfortable, nearly invisible way to improve your smile using clear aligners designed around your lifestyle. Subtle, modern treatment that fits naturally into everyday life.
See What Makes
Our Practice Feel
Different
From the moment you step through our frosted glass door, you’ll notice it immediately — the calm, the warmth, the quiet care that goes into every single detail.
"I've never actually looked forward to a dental appointment
before. This place changed that."

Emergency Dental Care for Our Patients
When unexpected tooth pain, swelling or dental injury occurs, our patients can call The Parks for prompt guidance and emergency care when availability permits.
OUR PEOPLE
The Heart of The Parks
The best dental experiences aren’t built by technology alone. They’re built by people who genuinely care.
At The Parks, every member of our team shares a commitment to making patients feel comfortable, informed, and genuinely cared for. From your first visit to ongoing treatment, we’re here to create an experience that feels personal, welcoming, and built on trust.
“Patients may come to us for dentistry, but they stay because of the relationships they build with our team.”
— Caroline Bell Mintern, co-founder
