Our staff at Garner Family Dentistry maintains the highest level of accreditation and pursue continuing education courses to stay current with the latest dental technology and procedures. They are a talented group of professionals that always make the needs of our patients the first priority. The brief introductions below are provided to familiarize you with our staff.
Dr. Garner isoriginally from Omaha, Nebraska and went to Creighton University Dental School, a nationally recognized private Catholic school noted for its challenging dental program and strong academic reputation. In fact, her dental graduating class achieved the highest operative dental score in the nation on our dental boards in 1995. Following dental school graduation, she was selected for an intensive dental residency program at Temple University in Philadelphia and earned an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) degree. As a result of that challenging program, her skills and experience were greatly enhanced in the areas of general and cosmetic procedures.
After graduation from Temple in 1996, she returned to Omaha where she worked as an associate dentist. While there, Dr. Garner met and married an Air Force officer, Alan Garner, who is from the Isle of Palms, South Carolina. During their years as an Air Force family, they moved around to various states while Dr. Garner continued to work as a managing dentist and associate at different practices. After her husband's retirement from the Air Force, they found their way back to Charleston and beautiful Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.
Though Dr. Cynthia Garner has been in private practice for many years, she continues to pursue further education to enhance her skills and to provide outstanding care to my patients. Each year she devotes 100 hours of advanced education to improve her expertise and learns the latest techniques and materials available for dentistry. Currently, Dr. Garner is involved with Dr. Frank Spear's hands-on workshops in Scottsdale Arizona where some of the finest advanced techniques for Dental Occlusion and Cosmetic Dentistry are taught by some of the best dentists in the United States. In addition, she is a member of the renowned Seattle Study Club which is a professional association of dentists committed to the advancement of dental excellence. These hands-on professional development activities result in the best possible care and choices for our patients.
Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. The entire Garner Family Dentistry team is committed to providing personalized gentle dental care that will preserve and enhance your smile in a friendly atmosphere. We are a dental team devoted to restoring, preserving, and enhancing the natural beauty of teeth using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful long lasting smiles.

My entire family goes to Dr. Garner. The office staff are the best from the front desk, dental hygienist to of course Dr. Garner herself. It is well worth our drive from West Ashley to Mt. Pleasant.

I have been going to Dr. Garner for the past 8 years. She is an amazing dentist with a friendly calming chair side demeanor. She hires the best dental hygienists and her office staff are always welcoming. I am a retired dental hygienist and wouldn't go anywhere else in town.
