Not sure what is going on with the offices currently (May 2023). It took me a week to reach someone…read moreat the Laurel office only to be told they no longer do cleanings at this location. I call the crofton location and they tell me they arent taking appointments until June 1st, 2023 for appointments starting in July 2023. Please send an update e-mail to patients letting us know what is going on. Thanks! Patient for over 10 years

The office is well spaced out and clean and the staff professional - don't let it's location in a…read morestrip mall throw you off. The staff were courteous, pleasant and competent. But I would say, perhaps because of Covad, that the dental exam and cleaning were on the "lite" side. I was charged for special panoramic x-rays but they didn't even take a full shot of my entire mouth, nor did they do a true panoramic sequence (I've had the panoramic with other dentists so I know the difference). The cleaning was fast, very basic and the exam cursory -- they did not do the usual detailed check on the attachment strength of my fillings, etc. (where they take an instrument and try to jiggle the filling), or check the spacing between the teeth, etc. etc. So I would say that while there wasn't anything wrong, per se, that the level/thoroughness of the care could have been better. I would say that if you have good insurance, choose a better dental practice, but if you are uninsured or under-insured, this practice would be among the best options.

I want to say that this dental practice has vastly improved since the departure of the previous…read moredentist. I stopped going and once I was informed that dr cooper was no longer there I came back. The dental assistant Hee Young is awesome. She is Honest, caring and delicate with your procedures. She makes going to the dentist enjoyable again. I trust her and she educates you on proper care of your dental requirements. This practice is headed in the right direction, thanks in part to Hee Young.

I still can't speak about the BOTCHED dental job (veneers) I got on May 22--and it's exactly two…read moremonths later--at Laurel Smiles for $7,152!!! I loved my smile BEFORE my veneers! I had bonding for 40 years and had gotten a small chip, so I had a small gap again, which I wish I would've just kept! Dentists don't want to do bonding, anymore, as I guess there's not enough money in that. I keep wishing I could go back because I HATE MY TEETH NOW!!! I am someone who smiles constantly; now, I keep my mouth closed as much as I can. I had a small overbite, which I discussed with Dr. Cooper asking how the veneers would affect that. Three dentists, including Dr. Cooper, had expressed that my two front teeth were "too big." I love my teeth and have had 40 years of compliments about my smile! Dr. Cooper said she would do four veneers and make the two front teeth a little smaller and the other two slightly larger. After almost 6 weeks of a comedy of errors (wrong veneers sent twice, one the color was too dark (but probably not), the fourth and final ones in my mouth--I have two HUGE front buck teeth, a HUGE overbite (I'm so uncomfortable when people can see my teeth from the side), and the veneers are a TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLOR from my natural teeth!!!!!!! Oh, my veneers were EVEN BIGGER than they are now--I had Dr. Cooper shave them down!! I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL!!! I am having the veneers removed and ortho (Invisalign) because I can't even take a chance of another botched job! I paid $1500 for the ortho as that's what I was told at the other dentist office to get started. Turns out I need to pay another $3500 for a total of $5000 for them to do the gum surgery, temporary veneers, and ortho fitting. I just paid $7152 at Laurel Smiles, which brings me to $8,652 I've now spent. I can't afford to pay anymore right now, so I'm stuck with these HORRENDOUS things in my mouth until I can afford to get them removed and do the new treatment. On top of that, I will now be forced to wear a retainer in my mouth four nights a week for the rest of my life!!!!! If you're getting all veneers, maybe you'll be okay. If you're not, KEEP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER DENTIST!!!! I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW I WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME!!!! OH, THE REPAIR JOB--JUST UNDER $15,000 WITH A DISCOUNT!! Oh, I also do not bite into anything! My veneers are so thick, and my teeth don't meet like they should, and I'm afraid they'll pull off and split my gums!! Below are photos of what I used to look like and what I look now! I would also like to say it is embarrassing for me to post these photos!!!
