About Dr. Garcia General & Cosmetic Dentistry

Invisalign cases come up often here, with patients traveling from as far as Florida and Delaware to see Dr. Nicholas R. Garcia downtown.

Dr. Garcia General & Cosmetic Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers orthodontic options including Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and retainers. Invisalign and clear aligners come up more here than typical general dentistry reviews, and a number of patients mention traveling notable distances, some from Florida and Delaware, to keep seeing this office. Dr. Garcia is frequently described as thorough and calm with anxious patients, and the office itself, on a higher floor with city views, gets repeated mention. A handful of reviews flag billing or pricing mix-ups, including a disputed Invisalign refinement policy.

Summary of 217 patient reviews, August 2020–September 2026, updated September 2026

Dr.

Garcia General & Cosmetic Dentistry in Baltimore, Maryland, provides orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults seeking clear aligner treatment. Dr. Nicholas Garcia offers Invisalign as an alternative to traditional braces for patients requiring orthodontic correction. The practice uses digital treatment planning to map tooth movement and create custom aligner sequences. Invisalign addresses mild to moderate spacing issues, crowding, and bite irregularities through a series of removable plastic trays that gradually shift teeth into alignment. Patients wear each set of aligners for a specified period before progressing to the next stage in the treatment plan. Dr. Nicholas R. Garcia serves patients throughout the Baltimore area with online booking available for scheduling consultations and appointments. The practice accepts dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits and offers payment plans for treatment costs. In-house financing provides additional options for managing the expense of clear aligner therapy. Treatment outcomes depend on individual diagnosis, compliance with wear schedules, and the complexity of each case. Patients in Baltimore and surrounding communities can schedule an evaluation to determine if Invisalign is appropriate for their orthodontic needs.

Dr. Garcia, Regan, and the entire support staff are absolutely amazing. Everyone is welcoming, professional, attentive, and genuinely caring! They make each visit comfortable and take the time to explain everything clearly, answer questions, and ensure you feel well cared for. I'm grateful for the excellent service and highly recommend this dental office to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate team. FYI, beware of the stoic dog leashed to the first chair in the lobby :)

So Dr Garcia is amazing. Very polite, friendly, respectful and he is very knowledgeable on dentistry. What should have been an hour long procedure turned into 2 because there were complications with my treatment at no fault of his own. But he quickly knew what to do to remedy the issues.. Now the front desk.. that’s my reason for 4 stars… I wish they would truly have a better system and a better office management. Today I was quoted one amount, I took a look at the numbers while in the treatment room and I knew based off my insurance and what I know it covers that it wasn’t accurate. So I asked them to run the numbers again.. came back $300 less for the amount I was responsible for plus a credit owed from the first visit. I’m huge on trust and I want to know that when I visit an establishment like this that there is accuracy in the data. Imagine if I didn’t say anything today. Extra money in their pockets?? Disliked that part of my experience entirely. But apart from that Dr Garcia is a great dentist.

Dr. G and his staff are so nice. They were willing to work with me to ease my anxiety and make things as painless as possible. And considering I was there to get crowns there was a lot of stress involved on my end. But they were wonderful and helped me through it.

After experiencing the many challenges of finding a dental team that can concur some of the dental issues I’ve faced for many years, it was a great pleasure to meet Dr. Garcia and his very professional staff. I felt for the first time in more than 10 years, relief, during a consultation with a gentleman that could understand my dental issues, created a healthy and safe plan that I felt comfortable working with and offered me an affordable payment plan. I’m also an extremely nervous individual. I felt that I could put my guards down with Dr. Garcia. I didn’t feel the need to run away from his office in fear as I have a few. Thank you Dr. G. For being kind, understanding, caring and encouraging.
