Leoncio A. Garza, DDS
RESUME
My Practice Style:
I am not your cookie cutter type of Dentist. I like to joke and talk with my patients. We try to make our patients as comfortable as possible. Hence, we try to erase the dental atmosphere from our office. We do not drown you with dental posters, pamphlets or videos. We provide movies for you to watch while you wait and offer you video glasses so that you can watch a movie during your treatment. We also do our best to remove that "dental office" smell. I don't believe everyone wants to have a "Hollywood" smile. Most just want teeth they are not afraid to chew with and that don't hurt. So, I won't try to force a $10,000 treatment plan upon you. Unfortunately some individuals do need that type of comprehensive work just to cure all the broken teeth and infected teeth they have. But these are few in numbers. Don't get me wrong, if you want a "Hollywood" smile we will be very happy to assist you in reaching your esthetic goals. We take our time to provide quality dentistry at our office. We do not do same day dentures, grills or overnight smiles. You can find them at other offices. So, if you want the type of Dentist that tells you what you need without asking you what you want and has the disposition of a drill sergeant than I am not the Dentist you are seeking. But, if you want a Dentist that will not talk down to you, will listen to your dental desires and tries to provide the best long term solution to your dental problems than we are the office for you. **********   Experience:
