Meet Dr. Garcia
J.F. Garcia, D.D.S, M.S / Board Certified Specialist.
Diplomate, American Board of Endodontics.
After a few years as a practicing endodontist in Rockwall and East Texas, Dr. Garcia founded Quality Centered Endodontics. The goal was to establish a practice that would provide personalized treatment with the most up-to-date, cutting-edge technology, in order to ensure exceptional endodontic care.
Education and Experience.
Dr. Garcia completed his graduate dental training at the Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Wanting to expand and broaden his general dentistry skills, he completed an advanced education in General Dentistry program at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine in Farmington, Connecticut.
Aware of his passion for the field of endodontics, he decided to pursue
specialty training in endodontics, along with a Masters Degree at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry, in Ann Arbor, Michigan. During his graduate training, he taught preclinical and clinical endodontics at the University of Michigan and earned his Master of Science degree for his work on inflammatory effects in human nerve pulp tissue.
After his initial years in private practice, Dr. Garcia decided to undergo a rigorous examination process held by the Officers and Directors of the American Board of Endodontics. After successfully completing a series of case presentations, written and oral examinations, he became a Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics.
He continues to gain knowledge and expertise through courses every year to make sure he is on the cutting edge of his specialty.
He is a strong advocate of minimally invasive dentistry and has
been incorporating this modern approach into the field of endodontics.
These modern microscopic techniques allow him to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible by using an operating microscope (high power magnification and illumination) for every stage of the treatment.
