Welcome to Tangeman, DDS. Our family dental practice has been providing high-quality dental care to multiple generations of patients in the Bakersfield, Shafter, Rosedale, and Tehachapi areas for years. Not only do we focus on providing quality care to our patients, but we also make it our goal to help every patient experience care that is as comfortable as possible.
Our patients count on high-quality, attainable dental care, no matter what their needs are. Children who have grown up seeing Dr. Tangeman continue to return to us as adults so that we can provide care for their dental needs – there’s no better compliment that we could receive!
Dr. Tangeman Welcomes Dr. Marco Garcia
To Our Valued Patients, Friends, and Family,
I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a true honor to care for you and your family throughout my years in practice. The trust you’ve placed in me has been both humbling and deeply appreciated.
Marco Garcia, DDS
As with all good things, there comes a time when we must transition to new chapters. After much reflection, I have made the decision to step back from my practice. With this in mind, I’m pleased to share that I’ve selected a dedicated dentist who I trust to take over the care of my patients—Dr. Marco Garcia.
Dentistry has given me the privilege of knowing many of you for multiple generations, and you’ve truly become like family to me. When I began thinking about retirement, it was important to me that I step away while still providing excellent care to you all. I’m confident that Dr. Garcia is the right person to continue this legacy of high-quality dentistry.
I first met Dr. Garcia through his wife, Jesica, who worked at my office several years ago before pursuing dental school. They both graduated from the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and after practicing in Southern California, they settled in Bakersfield. They are now parents to an energetic one-year-old daughter.
Initially, Dr. Garcia and I discussed him joining the practice as an associate, but as his personal and professional commitments evolved, he was able to take on the role of leading the practice. Dr. Garcia is committed to providing the finest care and brings a wealth of experience in general dentistry as well as specialized services such as root canals, oral surgery, dentures, pediatric dentistry, Invisalign, and implant restorations.
Rest assured, the office will continue to run smoothly, with minimal changes. Dr. Garcia is eager to meet each of you at your next appointment and continue the tradition of excellent care you’ve come to expect from our practice.
Please know that I’m here for any questions you may have during this transition. Your health and comfort have always been my priority, and I’m confident that Dr. Garcia will continue to serve you with the same dedication.
Warm regards,
Dr. Scott Tangeman
