As a professional ballroom dancer and studio owner, Lynn has spent her life helping others gain confidence and change their lives through movement. But years of dental anxiety, rooted in early experiences, made facing major dental treatment feel overwhelming.

When she learned she needed extractions and bone grafting, fear took over.

From the moment she arrived at The Mugford Center, that fear began to ease. With a calm, compassionate approach and a team that truly listened, Lynn felt supported every step of the way. 💙

Not only did her treatment go smoothly, but the experience sparked unexpected shifts, including quitting smoking the very day of her surgery! 🙌🏼

If you have dental anxiety, we are here to help you, every step of the way. 🥰

Say hello to a confident, complete smile that looks and feels natural. 🌿

If you’re living with missing teeth, struggling with painful dentures, or want a more permanent solution, dental implants may be right for you. During your consultation, we’ll take a 3D CAT scan of your mouth and assess your bone health, anatomy, and medical history.

Even if you’ve been told in the past you don’t qualify, don’t worry! We can often provide advanced solutions, including bone grafting or regenerative therapies, to make implants possible.

Is it cheaper to treat gum disease early? The answer is yes, without question. 💰

Early treatment is typically more straightforward, more affordable, and far less invasive. Waiting too long can lead to more complex procedures, including surgery or even tooth replacement.

If something doesn’t feel right, it’s always worth getting it checked sooner rather than later. 😊

While spending time in Phoenix with friends, Dr. Mugford took a moment to reflect on something deeply important to him, overall health and quality of life.

As a periodontist, he understands that dentistry is about far more than teeth. What happens in the mouth can have a meaningful impact on the rest of the body. ✨

Wellness dentistry means looking beyond symptoms and asking the deeper question: Why is this happening? When we identify the root cause, we can help patients restore not just their smiles, but their health.

Dental disease doesn’t occur in isolation. There’s often an underlying factor contributing to it and addressing that is key to long-term wellness. 🔑

At The Mugford Center, our passion is helping patients achieve true wellness so they can live fully and confidently.

Did you know that in addition to caring for patients’ oral health, Emily also performs advanced laser treatments using our Fotona system? This includes LipLase, SmoothLase, and an Erbium YAG peel. 👄✨

These treatments are designed to stimulate your body’s natural healing response.

❌ No injectables.
❌ No toxins.
✔️ Just your own collagen production working to improve tissue tone, elasticity, hydration, and the appearance of fine lines.

Patients often notice smoother skin, fuller lips, improved moisture, and even a reduction in under-eye bags.

All three treatments can be completed in a single visit, typically in about 90 minutes, and they’re suitable for adults of all ages.

"Is periodontal treatment covered by insurance?"

The short answer: it can be.

But insurance doesn’t always cover everything needed to fully restore your health. Limiting treatment to only what’s covered may not give you the outcome you deserve. ☹️

At The Mugford Center, we work with you to maximize your benefits, while making sure your care is focused on what you truly need for long-term oral health. ✨
