I don't wear it all the time, and it broke in May of 2026 while eating pizza of all things. I took it to Aria to get repaired and shared with them I needed it back in one week because I was going out of town on business and didn't want to be toothless. They assured me it would be repaired on time and Dr. Daniels last comment to me was "I'll stay on top if it". It did not arrive in time, and I was forced to cancel my business trip. Once it did come in (a few days late), it didn't fit properly. This experience was a total disaster. There are many dentist in the Annapolis and surrounding areas. I would suggest looking elsewhere.

Now, having…read moreonly ever had one cavity in my life and was too young to remember the experience- I was nervous! Aria was close to work and had an appointment available so off I went! So glad I selected them. Lisa Daniel was my dentist and everything from cleaning to cavity was quick and relatively painless. The front desk customer service and dental assistant were also amazing. The front desk took the initiative to double check my insurance before I arrived to ensure I was covered. Once my cleaning was done, I had to make an appointment for the cavity and they didn't have an appointment until the new year but offered to put me on a waiting list for cancelled appointments. I got a call same day that someone had canceled for the coming week. All work was quoted prior to service and final amount aligned with the pre-service quote. Highly recommend.

The last time I had seen a dentist they were still carving dentures out of wood. 7+ decades in, I thought it a good idea to get my snags looked at to see if they'll get me over the finish line. I had no frame of reference in finding a dentist, so I recalled the TV commercials I'd seen about Edgewater Dental Arts. Gave them a call, and went in. From the jump everyone was great. I told Doctor Cutting what I was trying to accomplish, and that I was concerned about cost. They did the full workup and treatment plan. Holy S*it. What was recommended was pricey. But it accurately reflected what was needed. Called my CFP, pulled some retirement funds, and took the plunge. I now have a full upper arch of crowns, and the first smile I've been proud of in 50 years. Dr Cutting, Brooke, Kim, Kelsey (sorry if I missed anyone) have made for an outstanding experience.

I was told by an assistant that they fit all crowns that way and that the 'line' was my underlying tooth and that it was fit properly.

He told me my teeth would like the man's if I didn't do everything he says. It took 3 visits to get even to impressions for the replacement of outdated cosmetic work I came in for, trying to sell me things I didn't ask for or physically need. This has never happened to me before. His office forced me to have and pay for xrays when I just had them within a few months at the previous dentist. The cost for an exam was about 40% higher than my previous dentist. The total estimate for cosmetic work was much higher, too, and they refused to provide a breakdown of the total cost. When I asked, I received an unsigned email canceling me as a patient. His office does not return calls. They sent me an email that required google permission from them to open my image files, and they won't answer emails. Finally, I was afraid they would show other patients my camera photos, so I asked them to remove these from their system; they refused.

It will cost ~$57,000 to repair the damage Dr. Djawdan has done to my mouth/teeth. Since my last…read morereview I have gotten several opinions from dentists, periodontists, and prosthodontists as to the best route to restore my bite and improve the health, function, gum recession, and aesthetics. The good news is that I don't have peridontal disease thanks to my excellent oral hygiene, despite all the trauma my mouth was put through. Note, I've never had a single dentist say I had periodontal disease, though Dr. Djawdan tried to claim I had periodontal disease as an excuse for problems with my dental work. Of course if I don't have it now I most certainly didn't then when my mouth was in a healthier state 6 years ago. The dentist who provided the comprehensive review is extremely talented, and has the ability to do things Dr. Djawdan says couldn't be done, like making crowns with natural looking pink gumlines for areas with gum recession. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to have that done at this time, but it is comforting to know there are talented dentists out there who will take on the challenges caused by another dentists problems. The very good news is I found another fantastic dentist who was able to get me out of crisis mode with the 2 broken teeth that I had to keep recementing myself. He was able to repair the teeth by creating larger gold posts and new crowns - no implants!!! I had asked Dr. Djawdan if he could replace the fiber posts that kept breaking with stronger ones, and he said no. Turns out, he just didn't have the skill to do it. This dentist was AMAZING. What is most amazing is that he was able to correct my bite with a couple of quick adjustments! Dr. Djawdan drilled and drilled for years making things worse, never better. I hope you never have to endure something like that. Even though the pain on the right side of my face isn't completely gone, it is reduced. After not eating like a normal person for years, I had to relearn how to eat again, It is wonderful to now be able to chew without fear of swallowing a tooth or having one break off. To be clear, I was NEVER told that the treatment plan Dr. Djawdan provided and that I went with would have a poor/guarded prognosis as his office claims. Would you hand over $30,000 when the best result you would get is poor? That would be insane. Especially - when I had a treatment plan with another dentist, Dr. Burch, and he was confident that he could provide an excellent result. Even after Dr. Djawdan caused the broken teeth, gum recession, and maladjusted bite that put my mouth in a more damaged state, no dentist after him offered a guarded/poor prognosis with their treatment plans, and they had a harder problem to fix so that claim is so illogical. I was happy with Dr. Burch's plan, but Dr. Djawdan gave me multiple reasons that the implant route was better than the fixed bridge plan Dr. Burch offered, and with Dr. Djawdan being closer to the family member who would be driving me to appointments I went with him. Would an ethical dentist say, go with me and pay $30,000 for a poor prognosis instead of using the dentist that is confident they can give you an excellent result for the same amount. Would an ethical dentist tell a healthy person the best treatment plan for them is to remove all your teeth - when the dental code to preserve teeth first and do no harm? This is very twisted. Dr. Djawdan won't accept any personal responsibility. He tried to blame my problems on peridontal disease - which I didn't have confirmed by multiple dentists. Then he said I had 4 root canals on abutement teeth - which was a blatant lie he knew wasn't true proved by xrays.* Then he says he told me I would only have a poor/guarded prognosis and I happily paid $30,000 anyway. Really? What dentist would even offer poor/guarded results as an option. Even though he never said that to me, that is a pretty pitiful thing to claim when you are marketing yourself as offering "state-of-the-art," "high-quality" dental care. I know many people found my review helpful and wanted a follow up. I still have a long way to go but I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. *Dr. Djawdan's wife Rene removed the lie in reference to root canals on 4 teeth in her response after being called out on it, and now claims I had root canals on abutment teeth, when in fact only 1 abutment tooth in the treatment plan had a previous root canal.
