Dental Creations, Ltd.
The Story of the Family Business Built to Serve Customers and Community
About Dental Creations
Dental Creations, Ltd. began while on a swimming outing on the Brazos River in Waco, Texas. Doris Craig, the inventor of Wonderfill, asked about getting a patent for her new product idea. Patent law is not my legal specialty, but becoming an investor was of interest.While a lawyer by training, I had a knack for business that came from growing up in an entrepreneurial family. My family and I embarked on the challenging and exciting journey of building a small manufacturing company.

About Gina G. Parker
Gina is a successful businesswoman, attorney, author and speaker for churches and women’s groups.
The 828 Journey - This book is based on Romans 8:28: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”
Hush, Little Baby, Don’t Say A Word - HE WILL TURN THE MONSTROUS INTO THE MARVELOUS. Tragedy had struck suddenly. I was swallowed in grief, overwhelmed with feelings of powerlessness, drowning in a sea of hopelessness, and devastated by the pain of a broken heart. The warm tears were like a flood that matched the pain in my soul. The Holy Spirit spoke, “Be still. Hush, Gina, don’t say a word. Wait while I work.”
Our Passion, Helping Others
Our family dream was to build a strong business that would provide additional resources for our passion for ministry and our passion for women’s ministry. While supporting mission work as an attorney and traveling all over the world with various missionary groups, including travel to India, Ukraine, and Hungary, my desire was to create a corpus that would be a source of ongoing funding. One ministry that has been supported through both businesses is CharisTV which reaches the country of Hungary through television.
Among other programs, CharisTV provides interpreters and broadcasts Joyce Meyers’ and Andrew Womack’s teaching tapes which provide practical advice for daily life as well as teaching about the grace and love of God. As mentioned, helping hurting women, especially the abused, is a passion. For a number of years, I have spoken to women’s groups all over the world sharing the love of God to those in need of encouragement. Little did I know that I would find myself the victim of abuse, so now my story of overcoming is a message that I share with those faced with similar situations.
