Services
My daughter and I have been a patient of Dr. Garcia's for over 23 years. We love the service and care we receive during each visit and appreciate the courteous office staff. Whenever we have had issues, we are always able to get an appointment in a timely manner, which is nonexistent in some offices.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implants are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth.
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association involving treatment of the pulp (root canal) and surrounding tissues of the tooth. When you look at your tooth in the mirror, what you see is the crown. The rest of the tooth, the portion hidden beneath the gum line, is called the root.
Where damage to a person's teeth is extreme and apparently beyond repair, we can use porcelain or porcelain "pasted-on gold" crowns to make the smile appear "as new". This is an extremely reliable technique for repairing the most severe dental problems, even permanently replacing missing teeth to offer a complete smile and a functional bite.
Regular visits allow your dentist to find early signs of decay and disease and treat problems at a manageable stage. Ask your dentist the best schedule for your routine dental visits. Even if you take excellent care of your teeth and gums at home, you need to see your dentist regularly so he or she can check for problems that you may not see or feel.

Have you ever had dental work done by an angry dentist? That was my experience today with Dr. Garcia and his assistant! They both clearly did not check the schedule to see that I was an added on appointment at the end of his day (added on 24 hours prior mind you). He was angry! He showed it! He made it clear to me!! I wanted to leave so bad but he had just put my crown in and I just needed it shaved down to my bite, it was getting too painful to leave any longer. I managed to sit through it in fear, I felt so sick to my stomach! I will NEVER GO BACK after being a patient there for years!

My family has been coming to Park Street Dental for years, and they've always had the right answers to fix our dental issues. We've never had any sticker-shock either: their prices are quite reasonable. And the've proven ethical time and again, telling us only what needs to be done, even though it might be a procedure that brings them less money. We all know that too often companies -- service industry-wide -- find a way to jack up their costs for no other reason than their pure greed. Park Street Dental has never done this to us.

I have been a long time patient at Park Street Dental. As a person who is not a huge fan of dentists in general, I can say that I am always very well treated there. From the moment I arrive, the front office is clean and friendly. The dental hygentists are always professional. Dr Garcia does a great job! I would recommend this office to everyone.
