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
I have been taking my children to Star Pediatrics for many years. The office is immaculate, the support staff is super friendly and accommodating. Dr. Verma and Dr. Donahue are wonderful with my kids. My youngest is on the Autism spectrum and the staff has been so understanding of his special needs.

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!

Dr Verma and his staff were very kind and punctual. You can tell that they care about your kids. Highly recommend them.

I love them. My kids has been apart of Star Pediatrics Dentistry for over 5years. We drive 45 minutes just to get there.

The staff at Star Pediatric are excellent. My son was petrified of the dentist and wouldn’t even let other dentists look in his mouth but thanks to Star Pediatrics he’s not scared anymore and actually tells his friends how he loves his dentist. He even had surgery last year and everyone took such great care of him, I can’t give this office enough praises, they are all really wonderful.
