Any repair to the dolls head that would return the gun to original condition would be ridiculously expensive. The dolls head is not a neccesary part of the function of the gun. Many Parkers are made at the factory without dolls heads and work just fine. Fill in the void in the receiver with shaped black epoxy, a hand made steel piece, or leave it empty.

This is a gun that I feel would need to be looked at by a competent (Parker) gunsmith before I would consider shooting it.. There are a couple relatively small dents in the barrels that are visible from inside as well as out, and there is a small amount of movement in the action when closed. Any recommendations of where to go with this? I am in Utah.

Unless you want to receive a bill that is out of proportion to the value of the gun, send it to Keith Kearcher in Bend, Oregon. He will do as little or as much as you wish.
