Margaret Garcia, DDS graduated from The University of Missouri in 1994. She moved to Maui with her husband Dean Arashiro (whom she met in dental school) and started her practice in Kihei in 1996. She is passionate about helping her patients achieve the highest oral healthcare possible and is focused on using the latest technological advancements to achieve the best results.
Dr. Garcia is a member of the American Dental Association, Hawaii Dental Association, Seattle Study Club, and MCDA which keep her up-to-date with continuing education courses. She is always on call to take care of her patients dental emergencies. When not at work, she enjoys spending time with her family, doing zumba, and playing tennis. She has a daughter and twin boys who keep her very busy with school activities and they enjoy golfing together.
A person can get periodontal disease which is exhibited by bleeding and inflamed gums, bad breath, recession, and ultimately loose teeth. Our highly skilled hygienists help to correct and prevent the disease through early prevention so our clients can preserve their teeth and smile for years to come. When indicated clients may be referred to a gum specialist.
White Fillings are made from an enamel-like product. The compromised areas of the tooth are removed such as decay. The clean tooth is prepared for the bonding of the white filling. The results are natural.
Dental sealants, also known as pit and fissure sealants, are a thin clear coating made of plastic and other dental materials that are placed on the tooth surface to prevent cavities. It's like an added level of tooth enamel to keep your teeth safe.
People choose esthetic dental procedures for various reasons, however, the ultimate goal is to restore a beautiful smile. Exquisite natural aesthetics are achieved with veneer restorations, most often used to close spaces, replace worn enamel, repair broken or chipped teeth, reshape crooked or misaligned teeth, and cover permanently stained or discolored teeth, treat an injury, or just improve their overall appearance. Our porcelain veneers appear as natural teeth, totally invisible. The semi-translucent veneer can be made to match the light-transmitting properties of natural teeth, and being metal-free, eliminates the hated black marginal line found around many traditional porcelain-fused-to-metal crowns.
Digital x-rays are one of the most wonderful advances in dental technology. The clarity and size of the images enhances clinical diagnosis of dental problems, images are available for immediate viewing, and the amount of radiation is significantly reduced compared to traditional x-rays technology.
When an unbalanced relationship exists between the teeth and jaw joints the muscles must strain so the teeth fit together. This can lead to varying degrees of symptoms such as cervical neck pain, headaches, facial discomfort, clicking of joints, limited opening or closing. Using advanced techniques in neuromuscular training such as K7 and TENS, we can help find an optimized position to help alleviate these symptoms.

I have been a patient of Dr.Garcia's for over 18 years, along with my husband and three children. We have always been treated with respect and kindness. I recommend her to all of my friends. For many many years Dr. Garcia advised me to see a orthodontist to deal with my tooth aches, TMJ, and chronic neck spasms, but I was too cheap and too stubborn to listen. Two years ago I was fed up with the pain and finally gave braces a chance. What a game changer!! No more pain! My kids are fortunate to have such a thorough and competent dentist. They take great pride in their oral hygiene and look forward to their check ups. No cavities yet!! Going to the dentist can be expensive and overwhelming initially , especially if you're like me and you've neglected your teeth for many years, but it is worth it in the long run if you value your health. Dr.Garcia takes great pride in her work and will make sure to get your teeth in good health and your smile beautiful.

Went to this dentist because I thought i tried a woman out and it might be a better experience but it was awful. She never took the time to sit carefully go over my options. I felt rushed. while i was getting my teeth cleaned she stopped the assistant while i was lying upside down to give me a very brief and short (rushing through it) of my diagnose. I visited for few months and my actual problem was never really dealt with. My last visit was really uncomfortable after the assistant was finishing up cleaning my teeth she kept trying to push on me into buying their toothpaste for like $20 a tube. This dentist is very aggressive and made me feel like a number and only here to push people through making money!!! I NEVER felt like she cared. My insurance paid over thousand dollars and still my problem never got dealt with. AWFUL dentist and I NEVER would recommend her to anyone and I will NEVER go back to see her again!!
