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
Dr. Donahue and rest of staff are excellent. They were so good with my almost 2 year old making her feel so comfortable and at ease. We have also seen Dr Verma in the past and he is great. He takes the time to explain and you can tell he truly cares what is best for your child. I highly recommend to all.

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 children have had cleanings and treatment at Star Pediatric Dentistry. Each visit has been pleasant and easy. My daughter had had teach pulled and remembers those visits as "FUN"!! She mostly talks about her prize! My little guy recently had cavities filled and it went way smoother than I thought it would. Dr. Verma was calming and comforting, the assistant was making my son laugh, and the girls at the front desk were friendly and helpful. I highly recommend any parent to take their children here. Everyone is awesome and the office looks super cool for kids too!

Today was my toddler’s first dental exam, and it was a very positive experience. The office is extremely clean and kid friendly. Jessica, RDH was so sweet and gentle with my son. She was also very thorough and addressed all of my concerns. Dr. Rishi was just as great and very patient focused. I will definitely visit this practice regularly and highly recommend to others.

Definitely hands down the best!!! Such a great vibe when walking in from the friendly team members, definitely love their attitude and energy!
Most people tend to be nervous going to the dentist, especially children! But not mine
These girls definitely know how to brighten up their day and Dr Verma is so patient and gentle. He really takes his time and is the real deal.
