This patient came to Dr. Bruce with a failing bridge, underlying dental concerns, and pain affecting their front teeth. After carefully evaluating their options, the decision was made to replace the affected teeth using two dental implants.

Careful implant placement, grafting, and attention to the surrounding gum tissue helped create a natural-looking result that blends beautifully with the patient’s smile.

Most importantly, the patient was thrilled with the final result, and so were we! 🙌🏻

35+ years of trust, and one very important deadline. 💙

Elaine has been a patient of Dr. Mugford for decades, working together over the years to preserve her natural teeth for as long as possible.

Then, just two months before her wedding, one of her front teeth could no longer be saved. Understandably, Elaine was terrified about what that might mean for walking down the aisle.

But when Dr. Mugford handed her the mirror after treatment, she couldn't believe the result. When her wedding day arrived, she walked down the aisle smiling confidently and, as Elaine puts it, "nobody knew the difference."

After more than 35 years together, we're incredibly grateful for the trust Elaine has placed in Dr. Mugford and our team throughout every chapter of her journey. 😊

Dr. Mugford has also been recognized as a Castle Connolly Top Dentist, one of the most respected physician recognition programs in the country.

When periodontics and orthodontics work together, the results speak for themselves.

We ensure that teeth are moving safely within healthy bone, that gum health is optimized before and during orthodontic treatment, and that every patient ends up with a smile that is not just straight, but strong, healthy, and built to last a lifetime.

At The Mugford Center, we are proud to work closely alongside some of the most talented dental professionals in the Annapolis area - including Dr. Langguth of Annapolis Orthodontics! 🤩
