Dr. Zapatero is a graduate of The University of North Carolina School of Dentistry. He has earned many awards and accreditations during his 30-year career in dentistry, including twice being recognized by the Journal of Dental Technology as a leader in the dental profession, and consistently named as one of "America's Top Dentists."
In order to ensure the best possible healing after your surgery, Dr. Zapatero has prepared for you a convenient list of post-operative instructions for various procedures you might have undergone. Do not hesitate to contact our office at (757) 481-3893, if you have any additional questions and to report excessive bleeding or swelling, persistent and severe pain or any reaction to medication.
Every family should have a high-quality dentist with whom they can grow and build a trusting relationship. While our office offers numerous dental services, gentle and thorough regular cleanings and check-ups are still at the foundation of our practice. Our team recognizes the importance of providing the services families need and customizing care for kids.
Digital x-rays emit far less radiation than traditional x-rays and help our dentist stay on top of your oral health. Periodic dental x-rays allow our dentist to see below the surfaces of your teeth. Decay can hide underneath your enamel or just below the gum line, making it impossible to detect with only a visual dental exam.

I have been going to starfish for about 8 years, I don't think many people enjoy going to the dentist but Dag and his team are amazing! Jenifer is on point with her appointment reminders, and always upbeat and helpful. Liz is like your best friend you only see twice a year, I could hold a conversation with Liz the entire time I was in there, if she didn't have her hands in my mouth. Dag is one cool guy !

Very professional and truly takes pride in his work (you can tell). Always up for a laugh or two. (Dag's stash is epic) I thoroughly enjoy the conversations when I go in, and the quality of work is second to none. I highly recommend these guys for all of your dental needs. Thanks guys!

The welcome at the front desk was wonderful. Prompt and Friendly and courteous. Jennifer took care of checking me in for my services today. The office asks you to wear a mask while inside and they do not require calling into office to check in. you can simply walk in. The waiting room is decorated nicely and has bottled water, coffee or tea available while you wait.

I am a new patient and had a dental emergency and they worked with me to be seen in a timely manner despite the fact that I was not an established patient. The dentist came in and we discussed options and Decided on an agreeable treatment plan. It was a great first impression and I look forward to seeing them again.

Dr. Zapatero is the consummate professional. I've been his patient for years and I would never consider going anywhere else. His staff is fantastic.
