Our story
Born from a gap in the market
Star Technical Services was founded by dental IT and marketing professionals who saw firsthand how underserved dental practices were when it came to technology and digital growth.
We built a company that speaks the language of dentistry — understanding the unique workflows, compliance requirements, and patient experience goals that make dental IT and marketing different from every other industry.
"Dental practices deserve a technology partner that actually understands their world — not one that's learning on the job."
What drives us
Our values
Trust & Compliance

Dental-First Thinking
Every solution we build is designed around how dental practices actually work, not generic IT templates.
Growth Partnership
We measure our success by the growth of your practice — more patients, better retention, stronger reputation.

Stephanie Whitaker
Co-Founder, MarketingCo-Founder, Marketing
Stephanie is a healthcare digital marketing specialist with a passion for helping dental practices grow — not just in patient numbers, but in reputation, visibility, and long-term community presence. She co-founded Star Technical Services after recognising that most dental practices were either invisible online or relying on generic marketing agencies that didn't understand the nuances of patient acquisition in healthcare. She brings deep expertise in dental SEO, crafting content strategies and technical optimisations that help practices rank for the searches that matter most — from "dentist near me" to procedure-specific queries that attract high-intent patients. Her Google Ads campaigns are built around the dental patient journey, maximising return on ad spend while keeping cost-per-new-patient firmly in check. Stephanie also leads reputation management for Star's clients, helping practices build and maintain strong Google review profiles that convert browsers into booked appointments. Her social media programmes are tailored to each practice's personality and community, turning platforms like Instagram and Facebook into genuine patient engagement tools rather than afterthoughts. What sets Stephanie apart is her understanding that dental marketing isn't just about clicks and impressions — it's about trust. Every campaign she builds is designed to reflect the professionalism and care that patients expect from their dental team.
