Meet Dr. Margaret McGuire, Your New Dentist!

I could not have hand-picked a better person and dentist than Dr. Margaret McGuire to take my place as your new dentist. She is young and energetic and passionate about her work. She is excited to continue her career in dentistry by owning her own practice and looks forward to meeting and getting to know each and every one of you. We share the same dental philosophy of providing dentistry based on your needs as a patient, which is what we both want for our families, our friends, and ourselves.  

Dr. McGuire earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the UNC Adams School of Dentistry and completed her residency at the V.A. Hospital in Temple, Texas. She continues to expand her skills at the Pankey Institute for post-graduate education and is a member of the ADA and the Guilford County Dental Society. Dr. McGuire volunteers with the North Carolina Missions of Mercy program, which provides free dental care to the neediest among us. 

Dr. McGuire and I have quite a lot in common in addition to our patient-focused philosophy: She is a triathlete, a runner, a biker, a HAM radio operator (since she was a teenager!), and she loves home remodeling with her fiancé, Kyle. 

I’ve been searching for the right person to assume my practice now that I’ve turned 70 (shoutout to Stephen…thank you for thinking I was 62, per Jill). And while I will miss all of you, I can sleep at night knowing that this transition has come at the right time and with the right enthusiastic and talented dentist at the helm. 

Words cannot express the gratitude that I feel for all of you who have placed your trust in me over all these years. 

In this age of corporate takeovers and DSO ownerships (one and the same, in my opinion), I am beyond fortunate to have met Dr. Margaret McGuire who understands and believes, as I do, that private practices will always be the best place for those seeking true patient-focused dental care.            

Congratulations and Godspeed to Dr. McGuire!
