I had a major toothache that left me with no sleep and unbearable pain. I called morning star as soon as the opened at 8:00 and they got me in and had my tooth extracted and me out of there by 9:15 a.m! Dr Lucero and his staff were very nice and gentle. I will definitely keep going there! Thank you ap much for the amazing care!

I had the best experience I could possibly have going in with two cracked, chipped 1st molars. The staff and the provider were fantastic. Dr. Lucero wasn’t sure if he could save my one molar, but instead of pushing for the root canal right away, he said let’s try and fill it and if you have any pain call and he will give me antibiotics and then we will revisit a root canal and crown if need be. I was very pleased from the time he walked in to speak to me. I definitely recommend this office and I will continue coming g all the way from Lamar, CO. Thank you again!

I got an awful crown done with another dentist locally, within a few months it had fallen out twice. Not to mention it was going to take them 2-3 months to even see me. I called Morningstar and told them what was going on and they got me in the SAME DAY. Within a couple of weeks they had me a new crown done and it came out wonderful. They’re so kind and overall incredibly helpful when it comes to your dental needs. Absolutely 5 stars.

Having not been to a dentist in 4 years, I was dreading my appointment. And all the dentist around were unable to get me in for a cleaning for up to 5 months. Stasch Dental was able to fit me into a cancellation less than a week after I called to schedule. They were also able to get me a teeth whitening kit the day I called even though they were closing.
Although the cleaning wasn’t the most pleasant (all fault of my own) my hygienist was exceptional. She was friendly, relatable, and knowledgeable, all while maintaining the professionalism of an experienced hygienist. Dr. Stasch was also friendly and pleasant to be around. Overall it was the best dental experience I have had ever. Hands down. I can’t wait to come back for my next appointment!

I spent quite a few years not taking care of my teeth and I had not been to a dentist in a long time. During my visit, every person I interacted with was so kind, and did no one showed any kind of judgement at all about my past lack of dental care.
They were encouraging, talked me through each step clearly, and made sure I was comfortable and understood everything they were doing.
They took great care of my teeth, and made sure to set me up for success in the future as well. I truly cannot speak more highly about my experience here. Definitely recommend!
