Meet Drs. Jennifer and Philip Pham

North Star Dental is led by the talented husband-and-wife team of Dr. Jennifer and Dr. Philip Pham, whose personal journey to dentistry is as inspiring as their clinical expertise. Dr. Jennifer's path began in Vietnam, where she experienced firsthand the challenges of growing up without access to proper dental care. This motivated her to pursue dentistry as a way to help others avoid similar struggles. After earning her Biochemistry degree from Baylor University, she completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery at West Virginia University School of Dentistry.

It was there she met her husband, Dr. Philip Pham, who brings his own unique background with a double major in Chemistry and Biology and a minor in Music. Together, they've built a practice that combines technical excellence with genuine compassion. Their team has expanded to include additional talented doctors - Dr. Jeffery Moore with 38 years of experience, Dr. Pauline Nguyen, and board-certified periodontist Dr. Alon Shalev - creating a comprehensive care team that handles everything from routine checkups to specialized treatments.

A Team That Makes Visits Something to Look Forward To

What truly sets North Star Dental apart is our exceptional team that works together like a well-oiled machine. Many patients tell us they return specifically to see their favorite team members, who remember not just their dental history but personal details about their families and lives. This level of personal connection creates an atmosphere that feels more like visiting friends than a typical dental appointment.

We've recently remodeled our office to create a warm, welcoming environment with thoughtful touches that transform the dental experience. Every treatment room features TVs with streaming services, comfortable neck pillows, and warm blankets. We pride ourselves on minimal wait times (usually less than 10 minutes) and a stress-free atmosphere where both adults and children feel at ease. Our modern technology, including the latest iTero LUMINA scanner, laser dentistry tools, and Zoom whitening systems, ensures your treatment is as efficient and comfortable as possible.

Comprehensive Care with a Personal Touch

At North Star Dental, we believe in providing complete care for your entire family under one roof. From routine cleanings and preventive care to advanced cosmetic procedures and dental implants, our team has the expertise to handle all your dental needs. We're particularly known for our excellence in cosmetic treatments, including both porcelain and composite veneers that create natural-looking smile enhancements.

We also understand that dental emergencies don't wait for convenient times. That's why we offer same-day emergency appointments, including root canal therapy and extractions when needed. For patients seeking straighter smiles, our Invisalign treatment provides a discreet alternative to traditional braces. What makes our approach special is how we combine these advanced treatments with genuine care for your comfort and concerns. Before beginning any cosmetic procedure, we even offer "test drive" smile designs that let you preview your results before making a commitment.
