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
We have been coming here for a few years now and its always a great experience. The staff is so kind and always professional. They are very thorough and always take the time to answer any questions. They always run on-time too.

I have been bringing my son to Star Pediatric Dentistry for a few years. They have always been so kind and go out of their way to make sure my son is comfortable. I had to bring my son in for dental work today and lately he has been nervous to go to doctors, dentists, etc...it took a while to get him into the office, but once we made it to the waiting room the staff was just wonderful. They really took their time with him and did everything to ensure he was relaxed. They even had him laughing at one point! I am so thankful for the patience and kindness of everyone in this office!!!

My children had an amazing experience at start pediatrics dentist!! It all started when I called to make an appointment for my 3 year old after leaving another dentist office and had a horrible experience. Mindy listen to me vent and was able to get me in THE NEXT DAY! Mindy was amazing and super helpful! My children and I were assisted my Judy. Judy was super friendly and understanding that my child had a horrible experience the day before at a different office. She aloud him to pick his own tv show, the flavor of his tooth paste and cleaned his teeth! Dr. Donohue came in and was super patient with my 3 year old and explained to him she was just counting his teeth. She was very interactive with him!!! Jessica came in and was super patient with him while taking his X-rays! After all of that my 5 year old was upset he wasn’t able to get his teeth cleaned and counted. As I was explaining to him that his brother had the appointment because he was having some pain in his teeth Jessica ran up front to get me the paper work for my other child! This office is amazing. The customer service, the team work that the staff had, the amount of patients they had with both my children was absolutely amazing! I will never take my children anywhere else!!! Thank you guys so much for everything!!!

Amazing Doctor and Staff. My son is terrified of the dentist and they were so calm and patient through his screams and tears. They were took their time to make sure he didn’t have any cavities and a proper cleaning. Glad we’ve been part of Star dentistry for the last 4 years

Today my daughter had her first visit she was nervous about going but it was a great experience staff is very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable. Waiting area is nice they have entertainment for the kids and at the end of her visit she got some "prizes"
