Remember This Longtime Waco Dentist

Dr. Kent loved being a dentist. He loved working with his hands, solving problems, and helping others. Most of all, he loved the personal interactions and relationships he built with you, his patients. Since 1974, when Dr. Kent opened his dental practice here in Waco, he always treated others the way he would want to be treated. With his gentle touch, charming personality, and desire to always do the right thing, Kent built Starr General Dentistry into the premier dental practice in Waco. Not only was he an excellent dentist technically, but also he genuinely cared about and loved his patients. He always wanted what was best for his patients. Always.

Dr. Kent grew up here in Waco and received his Bachelor of Science from Baylor University. He went on to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the Baylor College of Dentistry (now Texas A&M College of Dentistry). He founded our practice in 1974 and treated our patients until his passing in April 2020.

The joy that Kent and his two sons, Taylor and Martin, shared in practicing dentistry together for 16 years was immeasurable. The same love and respect for each other, for dentistry, and for the patients we serve drew them together in a way not many fathers and sons get to experience.

Dr. Kent’s greatest gift he left to his sons is the life he lived. He taught them to follow Jesus, to do the right thing, to live with integrity, to love others, to be honest in everything, to go the extra mile for others, to be kind, to treat everyone with respect, and countless other life lessons.

While Kent will not be physically present in our office, his loving legacy will endure at Starr General Dentistry forever.

Professional yet comfortable hygienist. Technically sound. Easy to interact with. Dentist was also very professional. I liked, as we briefly talked about options, that he advised a conservative approach in my case. Again, the experience was such that I knew I was in the care of experts but also with good relational skills. I would recommend them!

My most recent appointment was really good, quick and the folks are so nice there. They gave me advice on a dental insurance plan. The ladies at the front desk are the best given the new protocol (COVID) and all the questions. I feel safe and comfortable there which is saying a lot since I have some fear of dental work.

I have never had a bad experience with either the late Dr. Starr or his sons. I also think my hygienist, Summer, is spectacular. The office staff always have a smile and are hugely helpful.
