Meet Dr. Heidi Starnes – an accomplished orthodontist who has been crafting beautiful smiles for over two decades. Based in Newport Beach, California,  Dr. Starnes completed her undergraduate studies at San Diego State University before attending dental school at the University of the Pacific and completed her residency at Saint Louis University.

When she’s not busy creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Starnes enjoys spending time with her family. She has two kids who are very active in sports, which takes up most of her free time. She loves skiing, pickleball, and reading, and always makes time for these activities when she can.

One of Dr. Starnes’ favorite memories is when she told her father that she got accepted into orthodontic school. Her father, also an orthodontist,  had no idea that she was applying. He thought that she was studying to go to art school, so he was thrilled when he found out that she was following in his footsteps.
