Stephen L. Parker, DDS

Since opening his private practice over 28 years ago, Dr. Parker has made excellence in comprehensive dentistry his goal, with a special focus on cosmetic and restorative care.

After earning his undergraduate degree in 1978 from the University of Texas, he went on to obtain his Doctorate of Dental Surgery from Baylor College of Dentistry in 1981.

Dr. Parker's ongoing post-graduate education includes the Advanced Aesthetic Continuum at New York University, where he gained valuablehands-on expertise in porcelain veneers. He is also certified in the restoration of Astratech, ITI Straumann, Dentsply, Nobel Biocare, and Zimmer implants. Currently Dr. Parker is an active member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, Texas Dental Association and Dallas County Dental Society. He is also a founding member of the Academy for Sports Dentistry and former President of the Irving Dental Study Club.

Dr. Parker and his wife, Dina, have an 11-year-old son and a 9-year-old daughter. When not busy with work and family, Dr. Parker plays competitive flag football, coaching and quarterbacking for his state-ranked team, The Drillers.  He also coaches "Little Drillers", his son's 12 and under flag football team, and coaches 7 on 7 football in the GCYFA. Additionally, he is a Black Belt in American Tae Kwon Do, having competed for many years in tournaments and learning the hard way about the importance of wearing a custom fitted mouthguard!  Since then, Dr. Parker has made and provided these vital mouthguards for several professional fighters and high school football teams. Admittedly a “frustrated football coach in the body of a dentist,” Dr. Parker serves as team dentist for the Southlake Carroll High School football team each autumn - giving him a chance to stay close to the action. Dr. Parker also makes mouthguards for Colleyville Heritage, Grapevine, Keller, and Plano East High Schools.
