Meet Dr. Margaret Novicio

Dr. Margaret Novicio is a graduate of NYU College of Dentistry and brings over 17 years of clinical experience to RSF Dentistry. She is an expert in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and really loves the process of smile design and delivering the WOW factor when patients see their brand new smile.

I love getting to know my patients and ease their minds about any dental concerns or fears they may have. I believe that education and transparency is the key to trust, and I like to provide enough information about clinical outcomes to help patients make an informed decision about their oral health options.

After graduating from Baylor University in 2000, Dr. Novicio received her Dental Degree from New York University College of Dentistry in 2004. After dental school, she continued her studies in General Practice Residency at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Temple, Texas. She has continued to give back to the military community by volunteering annually at the V.A. Stand Down which provides medical and dental services to homeless veterans and their families. She is also active Lt. Colonel in the US Army Dental Corp.

Dr. Novicio “cut her teeth” so to speak in the corporate dentistry world and was responsible for making sure her fellow dentists met the high clinical standards set by the leadership team. She is now realizing her dream of becoming a private practice clinician and is looking forward to practicing in the community where she lives.

Dr. Novicio is an active member of dental study clubs, where she researches and studies the latest techniques, technologies, and methodologies in dentistry. To complement her 17 years of clinical experience, she spends hundreds of hours per year on continuing education to refine her technique and knowledge.
