Hengst & Stirling Family Dental

Joseph Stirling, DMD

Dr. Joseph Stirling joined the practice in December 2020 and has brought with him his clinical expertise and patient-centered approach. Originally from Vestal, New York, Dr. Stirling grew up in an area similar to Perry County. The youngest of four children, Dr. Stirling comes from a family with a dental legacy—both his grandfather and older sister practiced as dentists. He completed his undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech with a degree in finance before getting his dental degree from the College of Dental Medicine at Midwestern University in Glendale, Arizona. Midwestern University is well known for the vast amount of clinical experience it gives its students.

Dr. Stirling began his career serving patients in Tucson, Arizona, before relocating to Pennsylvania to be closer to family. While in Arizona, in addition to his position in private practice, Dr. Stirling volunteered in numerous community dental clinics. While he loves being in central Pennsylvania, he occasionally misses those sunny Arizona winters.

Dr. Stirling is very happy to be in Pennsylvania. He is proud to call Central Pennsylvania home and is honored to serve the patients he sees.

Dr Stirling has experience in all areas of general dentistry, including but not limited to restorative work (fillings, bonding, crowns, bridges), extractions, dental implant placement and restoration, pediatric dental care, root canals, full and partial dentures, and Invisalign cases.

Throughout his career, Dr. Stirling has maintained a strong commitment to continuing education. He has participated in numerous hands-on workshops and advanced training programs to expand his expertise in all areas of general dentistry. His comprehensive approach to dental care combines technical precision with genuine care for each patient's comfort and well-being.

Dr. Stirling stays connected to the latest developments in dental medicine and is an active member of several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, the Pennsylvania Dental Association, and the Harrisburg Area Dental Society.

When not caring for patients, Dr. Stirling enjoys spending time with his wife, Amy, and his three children, Levi, Nathan, and Violet. He is a big fan of Virginia Tech football and basketball, the New York Jets, and the New York Mets. In the summers, Dr. Stirling and his family love going to Hershey Park and exploring everything Central Pennsylvania offers.
