Caring for Shadyside patients
Northstar Dental Care has been part of Shadyside since 2004, when Dr. Maren Kowalczyk opened a two-chair office above a Walnut Street boutique. Today the practice fills the third floor of the same block with eight treatment rooms, a 3D imaging suite and an in-office milling lab.
Many of our Shadyside patients walk over on lunch breaks. Early 7:30 am appointments and Tuesday and Thursday evenings exist largely because this neighborhood asked for them.

Neighbors who sit in our chairs
Went up six shades with the take-home trays. A little sensitivity the first few nights, but the desensitizer gel helped.
Cracked a molar on a Tuesday morning and was in the chair by 1 pm. Dr. Whitfield explained every option and had me out of pain the same afternoon.
