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
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!
We hit the Pediactric Dentist Jackpot when we picked Dr. Verma. He is sent from above! He explains the process to the parents and the children step by step with complete gentleness. His positivity and patience is remarkable and genuine. I can’t say enough good things about this doctor.
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!
My daughter (9 yo) said: it's the best dentist I almost fell asleep once.
Best recommendation ever :)
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.
