Your Implant Dentist Dr. Taylor Parr
Dr. Taylor Parr is the dedicated implant specialist at The Smile Center. After attending the University of Virginia and completing dental school at MCV/VCU, he trained for two years at the UCLA VA clinic in Los Angeles, where he worked closely with prosthodontists and periodontists while focusing on surgical and sedation procedures.
That advanced training means Dr. Taylor handles every phase of your implant treatment in Virginia Beach personally:

Three Steps to a Restored Smile Take a Close Look at Dental Implant Treatment
Dental implant treatment is usually completed in three stages. First, the dental implants are placed. Next, an abutment is attached to each implant. Finally, your custom restoration is secured to the dental implants. If you require preparatory treatment such as bone grafting or tooth extraction, this may add stages to your treatment timeline.
“I’ve been coming for years and every visit is a pleasure. You would think the staff has never had a bad day in their life! Always so kind, helpful and educational! The smile center is where to go!”

Dental Implant Candidacy What You Need to Know
Jawbone Density
You must have sufficient jawbone density for the dental implants to graft to in a process called osseointegration. If you have existing jawbone atrophy, All-on-4® or All-on-X may be a better option. However, some patients may require preparatory bone grafting to qualify for dental implant placement.
Oral Health
Patients must be in good oral health and free of concerns like tooth decay and gum disease. This helps ensure a healthy foundation for your dental implants. We offer comprehensive treatments to help address any oral health issues before your dental implant placement in Virginia Beach.
Overall Health
Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure. Patients must be in good general health before dental implant placement. It is important to discuss any health concerns you have as well as any medications you take with your dentist so he can ensure the safest procedure possible.
Tobacco Use
Tobacco use has been linked to an increased risk of dental implant failure and other surgical complications. It is best for patients to permanently cease all tobacco use before dental implant surgery to minimize these risks and protect their smiles and investment.

Making Dental Implants Affordable
Dental implants are one of the most significant investments you can make in your oral health, and we want to make sure cost does not stand between you and a lasting solution. Every implant case at The Smile Center begins with a free consultation where Dr. Taylor Parr evaluates your needs and provides a transparent, itemized cost breakdown so you know exactly what to expect before committing.
For patients who need help managing the investment, we accept CareCredit® financing with flexible, low-interest payment plans. Patients without dental insurance can take advantage of our Smiles for Life Plan, which covers essential services for a small monthly fee. These essential services can help us extend the lifespan of your implants and restoration. Every restoration we place at our Virginia Beach office is backed by a five-year replacement warranty.
Why Dental Implants Are Worth the Investment
Dental implants cost more upfront than bridges or traditional dentures, but for many patients, the long-term value makes them the clear choice. Here's how implants compare:
- Longevity - Titanium implants can last a lifetime with proper care. Bridges and dentures typically need replacement every 5–15 years, a cost that adds up over time.
- Jawbone Preservation - Implants are the only restorative option that stimulates the jawbone and helps prevent the bone loss that naturally follows tooth loss. This keeps your facial structure intact and avoids the sunken appearance that can develop with other options.
- No Impact on Surrounding Teeth - Unlike a traditional bridge, implants do not require altering healthy adjacent teeth for support.
- Lower Lifetime Cost - Fewer replacements, no adhesive, and no refitting appointments can add up to significant savings over the life of your restoration.
- Quality of Life - Implant-supported restorations look, feel, and function like natural teeth, giving you full confidence when you eat, speak, and smile.
If you have been weighing your options, a free consultation with our Virginia Beach implant dentist is the best place to start.
Comprehensive Solutions for Tooth Loss
Dental implants can help with every level of tooth loss. Take a look at some of the custom restorations we can pair with dental implants:
A dental crown is a fantastic solution for patients with a single missing tooth. This option can help fill in the gap and prevent the need to alter healthy teeth to support a traditional dental bridge.
For patients with several consecutive missing teeth, a dental bridge supported by implants can help fill in the gap and restore the function and beauty of your grin while supporting jawbone health.
Patients missing an entire arch of teeth often relied on traditional dentures. However, with implant-supported dentures, gone are the days of messy denture adhesive and slipping dentures.
If you suffer from jawbone deterioration due to tooth loss, All-on-X uses just four to six implants to support an entire arch of missing teeth. This often eliminates the need for preparatory bone grafting.
“This place is awesome. From the time you walk in the door, everyones friendly and professional. And the technology they have here is better than anyplace I've ever been. Previous dentists do cleanings and fillings and everything else you have to go to a specialist. They do everything on-site. I've found my dentist for life.”
