History
Established in 1974.
Dr. Kent Starr 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. Their love and respect for each other, for dentistry, and for the patients they served drew them together in a way not many fathers and sons get to experience.
In 2000, Dr. Taylor Starr received his Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Baylor University, then received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio in 2004.
Being raised by a father who was a dentist had a positive influence on Dr. Martin Starr’s career choice. His father, Dr. Kent, was always present in his life, whether it was coaching him in sports or enjoying family time on weekends.
