What I Love About Dentistry:

I love to meet all the families and children. I love the new technology in dentistry that allows us to offer a wider range of services to our patients. It makes me feel good when someone has a problem or need and we can easily take care of it and make a positive difference in their lives.

Background:

I was born in New Bern, NC and was raised in beautiful Aurora, NC with my parents and two brothers. Growing up I was involved in sports and Boy Scouts, where I achieved the rank of Eagle Scout by the age of 13.

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management and also studied Chemistry, Biology, and Pre-Dentistry. I earned my Doctorate in Dental Surgery from the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill School of Dentistry in 2012. I married my beautiful wife Natasha in October 2018 and we have two dogs named Scout and Jordan. We enjoy spending our time with the dogs on the water – boating and fishing.

Dr. Matthew A. Parr

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.
