Adam Stephens, DDS
Dr. Stephens is a Chico native and is excited by the opportunity to provide excellent oral health care to his extended community. After graduating from Chico State, he attended the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill School of Dentistry where he earned his DDS. After practicing dentistry in the Bay Area for several years, he and his wife decided it was time to head north to raise their growing family. Adam began his private practice career in Paradise, CA in 2012. On November 8, 2018 his, like so many others, life changed. Though his building miraculously survived the Camp Fire, the smoke damage was so extensive returning to the ridge was not an option. The Camp Fire was devastating, but the outpouring of love and support from the community was nothing short of a miracle. Adam is especially grateful to the amazing dental community, particularly Dr. Lisa Willett of Chico and Dr. Joseph Stricker of Durham. He is is forever grateful that their paths crossed and will take to heart the legacy bequeathed to him to continue serving this amazing community.
He takes several continuing education courses throughout the year to continually improve our services, modalities of treatment and to utilize the latest technological advances in dentistry.
Dr. Stephens enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring the beautiful North State he is lucky enough to call home and playing and coaching sports.
