Dr. Matthew Parr, DDS
Dentist in Surf City
A native of Southeastern North Carolina, Dr. Matthew Parr is deeply committed to the communities in our region. He first completed his undergraduate degree at North Carolina State University and went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill.
Dr. Parr's passion for dentistry and helping others stemmed from his family background in healthcare. He experienced firsthand the gravity of doctor-patient relationships in correlation with patient's health and wellness. With this in mind, in 2012, Dr. Parr purchased and took over the helm at Surf City Dental as a community-minded healthcare provider. Since then, he has continued to hone his holistic approach to dentistry while incorporating state-of-the-art technologies. In doing this, he is dedicating time to each of his patients to deliver the best plan for their oral health and their total state of wellness.
Continuing education is a top priority for Dr. Parr to ensure his patients have access to ever-evolving healthcare. He recently completed a fellowship in Dental Implantology, in addition to outfitting Surf City Dental with the proper sedation requirements.
In his free time, Dr. Parr volunteers with various community organizations and local government. He also enjoys fishing, sailing, and surfing and credits these as the reasons he came back to Wilmington after completing his dental education in Chapel Hill.
"Home is where the heart is, and Surf City is my happy place." Dr. Parr resonates with the importance of the local community in his personal life and strives to incorporate this into Surf City Dental's culture every day.
They are awesome! I am always at ease in their care. The beach-themed rooms make me feel right at home. All of the hygienists are friendly and engage in conversations...I got into a discussion about our fishing exploits. Cool! A dentist's chair can be unnerving to some, not here...not me! They always answer my questions and don't pressure me with additional services. They explain the options and illustrate the "why". I'm 56 and I have seen a lot of changes in dental technology. SurfCity Dental is always on the cutting edge...or should I say the CUSP of the latest advances. The bottom line, it is great to have a place like this right here in my little slice of heaven to take care of my SMILE.
