Rising Stars Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics

At Rising Stars Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics in Austin, Texas, we believe every child deserves a bright, confident smile and an experience that makes them feel comfortable, cared for, and excited about visiting the dentist. We know that for parents, choosing the right pediatric dentist or orthodontist is more than just checking a box—it’s about finding a place where your family feels at home, where your children are treated like individuals, and where expert care is paired with genuine compassion. That’s why families throughout Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Pflugerville, Leander, Lakeway, and surrounding Central Texas communities trust our team. We’ve built our practice around one simple mission: to give children and teens healthy, happy smiles in a welcoming environment where families know they are in the very best hands. From the moment families step into our office, they notice the difference. The space is designed to be kid-friendly, bright, and welcoming. Our team greets patients by name and takes the time to listen to parents’ questions and children’s concerns. We know that some kids are nervous about dental visits, and that’s perfectly normal. That’s why our approach is gentle, encouraging, and always tailored to each child’s personality. We never rush, and we always explain what we’re doing in language that kids can understand. By creating positive experiences early, we build trust that lasts into adulthood. Our practice is unique because we combine pediatric dentistry and orthodontics under one roof. That means children can start their very first dental visits here and continue with us for braces, Invisalign®, and long-term smile care as they grow. This continuity helps families feel supported, saves parents time, and allows us to build lasting relationships with our patients. Parents love knowing they don’t have to switch offices when their child needs orthodontic treatment—the same trusted team is here to guide them through every stage of their smile journey. Pediatric Dentistry at Rising Stars focuses on prevention, education, and gentle treatment. We offer: Comprehensive exams and cleanings Fluoride treatments to strengthen enamel Protective sealants to prevent cavities in hard-to-reach areas Digital X-rays with low radiation for safe, accurate diagnostics Tooth-colored fillings for natural-looking restorations Crowns for primary teeth when extra strength is needed Extractions when necessary, always performed gently Space maintainers to preserve room for permanent teeth Emergency pediatric dental care for situations like knocked-out or chipped teeth Preventive care is the foundation of what we do. By seeing children regularly, we can catch small issues before they become major problems. We also spend time teaching kids how to brush, floss, and make healthy food choices so they feel empowered to take care of their own teeth. Parents often tell us their children are more motivated after a visit because our team makes oral health fun and engaging. Orthodontics at Rising Stars is all about creating healthy, confident smiles that last a lifetime. Our orthodontists provide: Traditional metal braces for reliable results Clear ceramic braces for a more discreet look Invisalign® clear aligners for teens and adults who want flexibility Early interceptive orthodontics to guide jaw growth and prevent bigger issues Space maintainers and expanders when needed Retainers to protect results after treatment We recommend orthodontic evaluations around age seven. While braces may not be needed right away, early monitoring allows us to plan for the future and, in some cases, start gentle treatments that can save time and money later. Parents appreciate our flexible payment options, with some orthodontic treatments starting as low as $149 per month with good insurance coverage. Technology plays a big role in our approach. We use digital X-rays, 3D imaging, and intraoral scanners instead of traditional impressions, which means faster, more accurate results without the discomfort of messy molds. These tools help us diagnose precisely, customize treatment plans, and show parents and kids exactly what to expect. We also prioritize safety by keeping radiation exposure as low as possible. Our doctors and staff are not only highly trained but also passionate about making dentistry a positive experience. We’ve chosen pediatric dentistry and orthodontics because we love working with children and watching their confidence grow as their smiles improve. Whether a child is visiting for their very first checkup, their first filling, or getting braces, we treat them with patience, kindness, and encouragement. We believe that building trust is just as important as performing excellent clinical work. Affordability is another priority. We know families want the best for their children but also have budgets to consider. That’s why we work with most major dental and orthodontic insurance plans and offer flexible financing. Our team explains benefits clearly and helps parents understand their options so there are no surprises. For orthodontics, our monthly payment plans make braces and Invisalign accessible for more families, ensuring every child can enjoy the benefits of a healthy smile. Parents often ask about dental milestones, and we’re here to guide them every step of the way. For example, we recommend children visit the dentist by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. This early visit allows us to check for proper development, catch potential concerns early, and help parents with questions about teething, thumb sucking, pacifier use, and oral hygiene routines. As children grow, we monitor the timing of baby tooth loss, permanent tooth eruption, and jaw growth so we can recommend the right care at the right time. Another common question is whether braces hurt. The truth is that while some mild soreness can occur after adjustments, modern orthodontics is more comfortable than ever. Our team provides tips for easing discomfort and supports children throughout treatment so they feel confident and cared for. Parents also often wonder whether Invisalign® is right for their child or teen. We evaluate each case individually and explain the pros and cons of every option so families can make informed decisions together. Emergency care is another area where we support families. Kids are active, and accidents happen. Whether it’s a knocked-out tooth, a chipped tooth from sports, or sudden tooth pain, our team is here to provide prompt, compassionate care. We encourage parents to call us right away if an emergency occurs, and we make every effort to see children the same day when urgent needs arise. We also emphasize dental education for parents. From explaining how diet affects cavities to showing proper brushing techniques, we see ourselves as partners in your child’s oral health. We provide tips on limiting sugary drinks, encouraging water and healthy snacks, and protecting teeth during sports with mouthguards. By equipping parents with knowledge, we help create healthier routines at home. Our office is proud to serve the Austin community and surrounding neighborhoods. Families often find us when searching for terms like “pediatric dentist near me,” “children’s orthodontist in Austin,” or “best braces for kids in Austin.” But once they visit, they quickly see we’re more than just a dental office. We’re part of the community. We participate in school programs, sponsor local events, and provide resources for families about oral health. Many of our patients come from areas like Mueller, South Austin, West Lake Hills, Hyde Park, and even beyond because of the reputation we’ve built for excellence and compassion. The Rising Stars experience is about more than teeth—it’s about confidence, comfort, and creating positive lifelong habits. We want children to grow up seeing dental visits not as something to fear, but as a normal and positive part of staying healthy. When children learn to take pride in their smiles, it boosts their confidence at school, in sports, in social settings, and throughout life. Parents also ask about sedation dentistry for kids who are especially nervous or require longer treatments. We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild anxiety, as well as deeper sedation options administered by trained professionals for more complex needs. Safety is always our top priority, and we carefully evaluate each child to recommend the best approach. By providing these options, we make sure every child can receive the care they need without fear or discomfort. We also recognize that many parents are interested in adult orthodontics. While our focus is on children and teens, we are proud to offer Invisalign® and braces for adults as well. Parents often decide to improve their own smiles while bringing their children for treatment, and we make it convenient to do both at the same office. It’s never too late to achieve a straighter, healthier smile. What truly sets Rising Stars apart is the way we combine clinical excellence with personal connection. Our team doesn’t just fix teeth—we build relationships. We take the time to celebrate milestones, cheer on progress with braces, and comfort kids who feel nervous. Parents know they can trust us, not only for expert treatment but also for honesty and open communication. Every child is unique, and we celebrate that. Whether your child is outgoing and fearless or shy and cautious, we meet them where they are. We adapt our approach to fit their personality, making sure they feel respected, heard, and safe. Over time, many children who were once fearful become some of our most confident and enthusiastic patients, and seeing that transformation is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. We also believe strongly in accessibility. That’s why we make scheduling easy, offer extended hours when possible, and maintain open lines of communication with parents. We want families to feel supported every step of the way. If you’re searching for a pediatric dentist or orthodontist in Austin, Rising Stars is here for you. Our friendly, experienced team is ready to welcome your family, answer your questions, and provide the compassionate, expert care your child deserves. Call us today to schedule your child’s appointment and experience the Rising Stars difference for yourself. Together, we’ll create a healthy, confident smile that will last a lifetime.

MLVerified patient

They were very confident and proactive about their work! They took my 3 year old with arms wide open and took very good care of her. I would recommend them to anybody who has kids.

We saw Dr. Steve

DCVerified patient

Wonderful!

AKVerified patient

The staff was super friendly and totally made a cavity visit so easy and stress-free. We only had one tooth to address but we were done under 15 minutes! I wish this existed when I as a kid!

BHVerified patient

My 10-year-old son has severe autism, and Dr. Bumacod is truly a godsend. He’s so patient and kind- he takes the time to explain everything he’s doing, talks planets with my son (his favorite topic!), and makes him feel completely at ease. He’s gentle, funny, and incredibly knowledgeable. Honestly, if Dr. Bumacod had been my dentist growing up, I probably would’ve loved(and actually) went!(lol) He’s the only doctor my son has ever willingly let touch him in any field, and he’s handled two separate tooth extractions with zero issues. My son actually looks forward to dental visits now—and that says everything.

SBVerified patient

It isn't possible to describe how much of a relief it was to find Nicholas. He was willing and able to accommodate our needs. It's clear he likes children and understands them, so he was able to set my 4 year old at ease. Frankly I tend to mistrust and dislike physicians of all sorts, but like a good mechanic, when you find a good doctor you hang on to him or her for dear life. You will not regret coming here.

DKVerified patient

My son had a filling done with sedation and it was probably the easiest dental visit. The staff was great as usual and his Dentist was quick and effective. All of our kiddos love Dr. B.

MTVerified patient

We’ve had a great experience with Rising Star Pediatric Dentistry. They’re always on time, polite, and fantastic with kids. The electronic anesthesia is a game changer for younger patients, and the staff goes out of their way to fit multiple kids in on the same day. I can’t say enough good things about their professionalism and care.

MWVerified patient

At Rising Stars in Marble Falls, the care my daughter received was outstanding. The team is efficient, gentle, and warm. Dr. Boom took the time to explain the treatment plan in a way that made sense, both to me and to her. I especially appreciated how involved they kept us in every step. Booking the appointment online was a huge plus. We’ll be long-time patients!

CAVerified patient

Rising Stars in Austin has become our go-to pediatric dentist for our son. What stands out most is how clearly and kindly Dr. Boom communicates with both parents and kids. My son never feels rushed or nervous here—everyone takes their time, and the team genuinely cares. Scheduling online was fast and easy, which is a big deal for a busy family like ours. I’m so happy we found a dental office where clear communication and child-centered care are priorities.

ZSVerified patient

We’ve had nothing but positive experiences at Rising Stars. My son actually gets excited when he knows he has an appointment! The team is always warm and welcoming, and Dr. Boom gives clear, detailed explanations. I never feel rushed, and questions are always answered. The ease of online scheduling and text confirmations makes the process even better.
