I originally went to Columbia Center for Implants & Periodontics for a second opinion, and after a…read morepretty disappointing experience there, I knew I needed to look elsewhere. That's when I found The Mugford Center. And boy, what a difference! From the moment I walked in, the ladies at the front were warm, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. Huge shoutout to coordinator Summer. Also to Amanda, and all the wonderful team members and hygienists who make the office feel so welcoming. Dr. Bruce is truly exceptional. He saved me from getting four teeth extracted unnecessarily. I only truly needed one extraction for an implant. Instead, he performed osseous surgery (I wasn't a candidate for LANAP due to the advanced stage of my condition), and everything went incredibly well. I was sedated and didn't feel a thing. The level of professionalism, honesty, and skill here is unmatched. If you're looking for a periodontist not only in the Crofton area but in the DMV, Dr. Bruce is the one you want. These reviews don't lie. The Mugford Center is the real deal. Caring, competent, and trustworthy. Highly recommended

I was referred to Dr. Mugford for two crown lowering procedures. The first was for my lower 6 front…read moreteeth. The second, two weeks later, was to crown lower two front upper teeth to obtain more support for my upper bridge work. I was a little anxious considering I didn't know what to expect. Cutting away gum and grinding on bone to expose more of your teeth and then sewing up my gums caused me some concern but Dr. Joe Passaro, my prosthodontist assured me Dr. Mugford was great at these and many other dental procedures. I was pleasantly surprised that after localized numbing I didn't feel any pain during both procedures. For a day or so after each procedure I felt minimal soreness. I was very impressed with Dr. Mugford's dental work, care and professionalism. Bill W.

My initial impression of this practice was very high. I really like Dr Di Umoh's caring manner. I…read morehad gum surgery twice. The first was osseous surgery, which went well. My only issue was the heavy meds they prescribe as a matter of course. Another friend mentioned that too. I did not need the oxy pills and I never intended to take them, which I did not. The second time, I had gum grafting done. Again, during the surgery, Dr Di was very caring and professional. My follow up appointment was about six weeks later, and I still was having lots of discomfort and had another adjacent tooth that was numb. That was a very difficult appointment, not because of the doctor, but because of rough handling by the two assistants. I also have never regained normal feeling in the roof of my mouth (the donor tissue site), and it has now been over two years. I was told after the surgery it might take up to a year a year for the nerves to heal. I wish there had been more review of possible complications and negative potential outcomes before surgery. I don't recall seeing an informed consent form or discussing that with anyone on the team.

It is such a pleasure to write an awesome review, and this may be one of the best reviews I have…read moreever written. I had a tooth where the crown came off probably ten+ years ago and after many attempts to glue it back in place, finally it came out and was out for probably seven or so years, during which it became infected periodically, but I did not have it extracted, as I was advised many times over the years. Fast forward, my wife and I moved to the Annapolis area a few years ago and we had to find all new doctors. Dr. Miele was recommended to my wife to do a complex procedure that should have been quite painful, but my wife told me that Dr. Miele performed magic, as her procedure was painless and perfect. Dr. Miele sets the bar to the top as an incredibly warm, compassionate and extremely professional doctor. I think the warm and compassionate traits are somewhat rare in the medical field, my wife and I are truly lucky to have found Dr. Miele. Now, to my procedure, magic! Yep, that's about all I can say. It was the second to the back, top tooth, close to my sinus and tricky to extract without any complications. Dr. Miele, again, demonstrated warmth and compassion, while being a top doctor in her field. These are a lot of words to say that my wife and I recommend Dr. Miele, if we could give 15 out of 10 starts we would. Now, all this being said, the office staff mimics Dr. Miele, they are easily one of the best teams we have ever met. We would also give the entire office 15 out of 10 stars.

I get my appointments done every six months, and I used to get postcard reminders in the mail. Now, I get text message reminders and so far they have been flawless! They accept most of the popular insurance companies, and rescheduling is never a problem. Gary Ludka is the main doctor here, and the hygienist that always takes care of me is Angela. They are extremely friendly individuals, and they always ask how I am doing and make sure I have been taking care of myself. Angela holds fun conversation while cleaning and makes the experience much less of a bore. They tend to remember anything you tell them there, so you know they really do care. Routine cleanings typically take about an hour (depends on how well you take care of your teeth!) and you always leave with floss, a toothbrush, and toothpaste. I feel like my dental health has overall improved since my family switched to this dentistry. I would recommend it to anyone.

I had 2 (Maryland) bridges, one done by him and one done by another doctor years before. I recently had an emergency where my Maryland bridge done by the other doctor had came out. With my sisters wedding in 2 days I had called Dr Sfondouris just a half hour before they were closing and expressed my issue. He told me to come to his office that day and even stayed late for me. He managed to help me and gave me a temporary flipper. Dr. Sfondouris went out of his way to help me, he is an amazing person and even a better doctor. I had no expectation that I was going to have a tooth and he made sure that I was equipped for the wedding. I full heartedly give them 5 stars keeping every aspect of my previous experience with them and my most recent one. They always strive to be the best and the staff there are so genuine and personable that I love giving them my business and will certainly be back at the drop of a hat. I 100% recommend their services and skill as Dr Sfondouris and the rest of the team there do phenomenal work.

Thank you for your incredible skill, patience, and unwavering commitment to excellence. Your attention to every detail and your desire for perfection never went unnoticed. It was clear from the very beginning that you don't just strive to do good work--you strive to do it perfectly. That level of dedication is rare and deeply appreciated.

You earned my trust, and that is something I will never forget. This has been one of the best investments I've ever made, and I couldn't have chosen a better dentist. Thank you for your outstanding work, your compassion, and for setting such a high standard of excellence. May God continue to bless you and your amazing team.
