My kids both had their first visit today. It went great! Everyone was super friendly and caring. One of my kids was crying because he was scared and one of the nurses did a fantastic job comforting him. Dr. White was very thorough and took the time to explain everything as far as his treatment plan.

Bright Star Dental made my child feel comfortable, I told them a few thing about how she would react to different sounds and they explained everything to her before they used any thing in her mouth. This was the first visit but it won’t be the last one. The people and the atmosphere is wonderful and kid friendly. Keep up the good work!!

I received excellent services on yesterday. I made my appointment on the same day that my daughter was seen. I arrived at 1:09pm, and we were done by 1:33pm. Her appointment time was at 1:30pm. I didn’t have to fill out any paperwork; they had everything in the system. Everyone that we encountered was kind and knowledgeable. All of my questions and concerns were answered and my time was valued.

They were amazing with my anxiety ridden son. Taking it at his pace. Seeing how they could make him more comfortable. Dr White was so fun and friendly. My son had said “she was like a big kid herself” and laughed with her as she sang along to Moana as he watched the movie above him. I think we’ve finally found our forever pediatric years dentist!
