Dr. Garza and the team at Darling Dentistry are happy to support the Bulverde Spring Branch Activity Center, a nonprofit organization that facilitates active aging and enhances the quality of life for older adults in our communities. For every new patient we see at Darling Dentistry, we give to the Bulverde Spring Branch Activity Center, because along with oral health, Dr. Garza is a strong advocate of all physical and mental health and improving the overall health of our community. Dr. Garza has experience doing mobile dentistry in nursing homes and has seen the debilitating effects of a variety of conditions. Surveys have shown that fear of losing independence with aging is a shared fear across the generations. She promotes access to healthy habits and activities so that our older population can enjoy a greater quality of life.

Darling Dentistry is also super excited to be collaborating with Bella Groves. We are grateful to receive additional training and techniques to better understand how we can contribute to their mission to create a more joyful community for families impacted by dementia through techniques in the care we provide for our patients.

Our Core Values

  • Integrity

    We diagnose, treatment plan, treat patients, and complete all of our tasks with integrity. We take responsibility for our feelings and actions, and are genuine and sincere.

  • Evidence-Based Practices

    We think things through and examine them from all sides. We will not make assumptions or draw conclusions without evidence. We weigh evidence fairly and are willing to make changes in light of new evidence. We provide counsel and care based on evidence.

  • Prudence

    We take great care in our actions. We do not act rashly, and we get clarification, outside expertise, and make referrals as appropriate.

  • Fairness

    We account for both equity and equality in the treatment of our patients and team members. We treat everyone with respect and give everyone the opportunity for input and inquiry.

  • Kindness

    We believe kindness and compassion greatly matter and show this by how we interact with, help, and care for our patients, our team members, and the community at large.
