NorthStar Dentistry For Adults

When I moved to North Carolina I never thought I would find a dental practice as good as the one I left in Michigan. Much to my delight, this practice surpasses what I was used to. Everyone is so nice , Dr. Bunn is so kind and gentle. All of the hygienists/dental assistants are wonderful. The front office staff are great. I haven't had the pleasure of meeting Dr Merrill. I have met Dr. Steve and want to hide him in my purse and take him home with me.

my experience at this office has never been anything short of comforting, kind, pleasant, and consistent! I’ve never had to wait for lengthy periods in the lobby, they have always greeted me with a smile and listened to any concerns I’ve had and gone above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable during appointments. I am someone who gets anxiety when I go to the dentist, but here? there’s nothing to worry about! all of the staff including Dr. Merrill & his wife are so warm and kind, and the best thing is, they have a family dog, whose name is Steve & he’s also registered as a therapy pet, & yesterday he laid on me for my entire session and kept me so calm. it was the sweetest experience I’ve ever had in any office. I can’t stress enough how lucky I feel to be a patient here! if you’re thinking about going to this office, run, don’t walk! they’re incredible!

My husband and I joined the Northstar Dentistry Family a few years ago. We are so grateful for an entire team of wonderful dental professionals to not only care for our teeth, but make each experience comfortable and enjoyable. On one visit during a very cold winter morning, I was offered a warm fuzzy blanket to use during my visit. Dr. Merrill brings an authentic, personable, and highly experienced presence to each visit. We have loved each and every hygienist who has cared for us. Scheduling and / or rescheduling appts has always been seamless as well. Although Dr. Merrill brings so much joy to dentistry, Steve, often has the power to steal the show! Steve is the office therapy dog who brings smiles and peaceful moments to patients and staff. You may find this tiny pup in his "Security" shirt filling the hallways with laughter or he may be snuggled up on a patient's lap who requested his presence. It's safe to say that Steve is a spoiled dog, but his goodness overflows into spoiling the patients too! We are so thankful to have Northstar in our neighborhood!

2024 Update: I recently started receiving Botox treatment for my TMJ at Northstar Dentistry. This has truly been a huge relief in terms of TMJ pain/headaches. If you are considering Botox for TMJ, Northstar is definitely the right place. An amazing experience. I could not have asked for a better dentist and staff. Literally some of the nicest and most helpful people I've ever met. I can definitely see why this practice is rated so highly!! I've also recently started using a night guard from Dr. Merrill for my TMJ and clenching issues, which were causing frequent headaches, neck and shoulder pain. This is the best thing I could have done for myself. It's already made a huge difference in decreasing headaches and jaw pain, just in the two shorts weeks I've been using it. If you suffer from teeth/jaw clenching or TMJ, please give their night guards a try. It'll change your life.
