She Brings Her Whole Family

So growing up, I had a little space between my front teeth, and Dr. Starr pointed me in the right direction and referred me to an orthodontist. I think I was in junior high, and I had to get braces for a little bit and then got rid of that gap. And so they were always our go to on what do we need to do to have the best smile that we can. I have always been comfortable with my smile and my teeth, thanks to the Starrs, because they started me out well in cleaning and teaching me how to take care of my teeth. And I have regular teeth cleanings, which is obviously very important. And so thanks to them, I feel confident when I smile and when I talk, and I owe that all to the Starrs.

My whole family has used the Starrs and now my two boys are coming in and getting their teeth cleaned, and they introduced them about three or four and let them come and just check everything out. So they're not scared when they have to come back as they get older. So it's funny how it trickles down. My parents could have been here, my husband and I, and now my kids. When I bring my kids in, the hygienists are always sweet and friendly and bubbly and have a smile on their face, and really interact with my kids great. And just make everyone feel comfortable and show them and talk them through everything that they're about to do to their mouth, and the instruments, and just really makes the kids feel at ease.

Dental Crowns Restored Her Smile

When I decided to visit with Dr. Martin about my teeth, I thought it might take a very long time to come to what I thought would be beautiful teeth. I had a consultation visit with him. Then within a few weeks, I was here to get the crowns. It was absolutely wonderful. He did some temporary crowns while they made the permanent crowns. Then in the next visit, he was able to put on the permanent crowns. It was very quick. I was amazed at how fast it was, particularly because of all the time leading up to it that I had anxiety, that I didn't want to do it. I thought, "Oh, I'm going to be out in the public while they're in the middle of all the work, and everybody's going to know that I've got things going on," and they didn't. The temporary crowns were fabulous. I would have been happy with those. Then when the permanent crowns came in, they're just wonderful. I love them.

After Dr. Martin gave me my beautiful crowns, I sort of reentered the world again with my big smile. The reception I got was wonderful. My son said, "Mommy looks so happy now." I truly am. My sister said, "Wow, you've got your sparkle back." I said, "I do. I do. I really do." I think everyone... I think they may not know why, quite why I'm so smiley, but I think that it is reflected for sure in my personality by being able to smile, have a big smile that I'm proud of.

He Loves His Dental Implants

I have been a patient of this dentistry for over 20 years. And Dr. Starr was someone on I knew vaguely when he played football for Baylor. When I moved down to Waco and first went to him, I had a lot of cavities. I'd lived in Chicago and had not been to a dentist for a good while. And so he spent a lot of time with me and it was amazing how he'd get everything done. Had a few implants, a little bit of everything to get it done. He was very good about getting it done on a orderly basis, knowing what to do, when, keeping me up to date, working it into my schedule. So, it all worked out to be a great experience.

I have some problems now. It seems like after 20 years, some of those things kind of crop up again. And so I'm having two things done, but we've got those planned for two weeks and four weeks from now to get things done. They're not really bothering me now. They're inconvenient at times, but not really bothering me, but they'll get them done, be done right. And both of these guys, I've known for a long time. So, it's been very good to be around them. They've done a lot of work for me as well as their dad did. So Martin and Taylor are very good themselves.

Dental Implants Were Easier Than He Expected

I hated going to the dentist as a child, and my mother should have had me in braces at an early age. She didn't. I never had braces, so as a result my front teeth were just totally out of whack. Dr. Starr had talked to me about coming in and doing some cosmetic dentistry for years, and I just couldn't afford to do it with a young family.

And so finally, probably around 2008-2010, somewhere around there, we finally decided to do it, and he did just a great job. It totally improved my smile, and that just made me a whole lot more self-confident to smile in public. But anyway, it just really totally changed my life from that standpoint.

I had two implants later on, but prior to that it was really just kind of ... They removed several teeth and then did something to the top part of my mouth, in the teeth, to totally improve the ... just totally straighten the teeth. I had teeth that were going in several different directions, and they just straightened it and made it normal and just made it really look good.

I thought implants were kind of a more involved process than it proved to be; and once again, they took care of it without a problem and just made it very simple and very easy. I think I came back in two or three visits, and I was off and ready to go.

She Receives Excellent Care!

I have known the Starr family for over 40 years, or right at 40 years, and I knew them socially prior to knowing them in the practice. Their sons and my son and daughter are about the same age. And knowing that both parents, Kent and Suzanne, have such integrity and such love for community and self. And that provided me a foundation to build trust in their practice. Kent was an amazing doctor. He was an amazing father, and husband, and community volunteer. And he prepared a path for his boys to follow. And I have known Dr. Tyler Starr and Dr. Martin Starr most of their life.

It was just a real easy decision for me to select this practice when I was looking for dental work. My father was an orthodontist in East Texas, and my children's great-great-grandfather was the founder of the Texas Dental Association. So dentists have been a part of my life, and my father always held a very high bar on what to look for in a dentist. And he was hoping that we would find a clinic like Starr General Dentistry.

It meets all the criteria. They're well-educated. They're conservative. They are faith-based. They are honest and direct. They are fair in their pricing, and they are timely in their appointments. They have a incredible support team when it comes to their office help, and their hygienist. And it's just a delightful place to be.
