Take a tour of our office before your first visit.
We are proud to offer dental services for special needs patients. It is important to us that each and every patient feels comfortable coming to the dentist.
The most common anesthetic we use is a local anesthetic. This blocks pain in a specific area of the mouth. We often apply a topical anesthetic to numb the area before we give the injection.
Testimonials
Everyone was so conscientious and upbeat - a great environment for kids at the dentist. X-ray equipment state if the art which helps the process be as smooth as possible— very thorough exam and cleaning too. Recommend!
A Harvard educated doctor you can afford? Yes! Ask for Dr. Goldman… she is phenomenal and went above and beyond. Thorough, never rushed, and made sure I completely understood all aspects of the plan for my children. As a father of 4, my two little girls love her and my oldest (who has autism) needed some treatment and Dr. Goldman and her assistant could not have been more patient and fun. Her entire team is friendly, helpful, but most importantly, helpful! I refuse to go anywhere else!
I took my 3 yr. old daughter here for her first dental visit and then a 2nd visit for a small filling . I really can't say enough about this office! It's amazing! Super cute with lots of things for the kids and very CLEAN! Most importantly, such a great dentist and staff! This includes Jessica, the hygienist that did my daughter's cleaning. She was soo good with my daughter and made it a great experience. Thank you! I am so happy I found this place! Thank you so much Dr. Verma for being great at what you do, as well as being so caring and having staff that are the same!
My son has special needs (autistic) and at 8 years old has still never had a successful dental cleaning. That all changed today when we took him to Star Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Donohue and Ashley are AMAZING people . The staff was so patient and understanding of what he was comfortable with that he was willing to sit for a 45 minute cleaning, in 10 second increments. His teeth went from zero to hero in those 45 minutes. Despite not being able to truly verbally communicate, they were both able to set expectations, build trust with him, and respect his boundaries. (He was still wearing the blue exam gloves they gave him when we got home!)
As a parent, I am blown away by the professionalism, capability and compassion we saw today. This was just such a surprising and wonderful outcome, I would recommend anyone and everyone looking for pediatric dental care to drive however far they need to drive to get to this office.. particularly if you've had bad experiences in the past or a child with special circumstances.
THANK YOU, STAR PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY!
Highly Recommend Star Pediatric Dentistry! It was everything I could have wanted for my son’s first dental appointment. The office was super kid friendly, the staff was patient and Dr. Donahue was the best!
