In the near future, all of us are doing our part to reduce the spread of COVID-19. That includes stepping up our already stringent sanitation practices and limiting our care to dental emergencies in the short term.
In the long run, we are confident that we will be stronger as a community, state, and country when this is done. Until then, we want to encourage you to maintain a good oral health routine at home. We are sharing this video by the American Dental Association as a friendly reminder about brushing twice daily.
If you do need emergency dental care, please call 254-401-0129 to reach our team at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.
Losing teeth can affect your life in many ways. You may not be able to eat the foods you enjoy or the variety of foods you need to maintain your health. You may begin to feel self-conscious about your smile, and you may become frustrated if you have trouble speaking clearly.
You can correct this situation no matter how many replacement teeth you need by getting dental implants. Implants function as replacements for the roots of lost teeth. They can support crowns, bridges, and dentures, and you can get them at Starr General Dentistry in Waco, TX.
Call 254-401-0129 or contact us online to request a consultation to discover how implants could help you.

This first edition of our new blog will cover some of the unique aspects of our practice that our patients most appreciate.
We’re Truly a Family Practice
Dr. Kent Starr founded our practice in 1974. Today, his two sons, Drs. Taylor Starr and Martin Starr, practice alongside him. Dr. Kent is proud that his sons have decided to join him in the family business, and together they look forward to serving the Waco area for many more years. We treat our patients like family because, to us, you’re an extension of our own family. We invite you to come in soon and experience true family dentistry.
You’ll Relax With Our Sedation Options
We understand that many of our patients need help unwinding in the dental chair. For them, the thought of dental care can make their heart race or cause them to break out in a sweat. That’s why we offer two sedation methods. If you’re one of our nervous patients, you can choose between laughing gas, which you’ll inhale through a comfortable mask, and oral conscious sedation, available in pill form. Either of these options will help you relax comfortably while our team works on your smile. We’ll help you decide which one will be better for your situation.
We Offer Comfortable, High-Quality Care
Since we strive to provide the best dental care possible, we’ve invested in advanced technology. You and your family will benefit from low-radiation digital X-rays, electronic cavity detectors, and CAD/CAM technology for making dental crowns on-site. In addition, to help you feel comfortable and at home, you’re welcome to take advantage of a soft pillow or warm blanket. Just ask, and we’ll be glad to help with anything we can to make your visit more pleasant and efficient.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this edition of our new Waco dental blog. Call us today at 254-401-0129 to make an appointment, or one online for more convenience.
