Smiles By Hazen

There’s a different level of confidence that comes from knowing exactly who is part of your care team.
At Smiles by Hazen, we partner with a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Sam Landrian, to bring a level of care that most dental offices simply can’t offer in-house.
This matters more than people realize.
Dr. Landrian is both a dentist and a physician. He holds a DMD and an MD, completed a full year of general surgery, and trained at one of the most respected programs in the country at the University of Maryland/R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center.
That kind of training changes how cases are approached.
It means:
• A deeper understanding of how your body responds to surgery
• Advanced training in anesthesia and patient safety
• The ability to manage more complex conditions with confidence
Whether it’s extractions, implants, jaw concerns, or more involved surgical care, your care is thoughtfully coordinated every step of the way.
You’re not being handed off.
You’re being guided through a process with a team that communicates, collaborates, and stays connected to your outcome.
Because when it comes to your health, the standard shouldn’t be “good enough.”
It should be thoughtful, precise, and built around you.

Real relationships. Real trust. Real smiles. 🤍

One of the most important parts of dentistry isn’t just the technology or the procedures. It’s helping people feel comfortable, understood, and cared for every step of the way.

We want our patients to feel heard, educated, and confident in their health decisions, because a healthy smile is connected to so much more than just teeth.

Thank you to our amazing patients for trusting us with your care. ✨

Your cleaning appointment just changed in a way you can actually feel.

At Smiles by Hazen, Heather, Dom, and Kimbrell are using Guided Biofilm Therapy—a different way of approaching your hygiene visit that starts by showing where bacteria is, not guessing.

Instead of aggressive scraping, this uses warm water, gentle airflow, and a fine powder to remove bacteria in a way that’s more precise and far more comfortable.

What patients notice right away:
• Less sensitivity during the visit
• A cleaner feeling in areas that are usually hard to reach
• A better understanding of what’s actually happening in their mouth

And here’s the bigger picture—because this is where it matters.

The bacteria we’re removing doesn’t just stay in your mouth. It can move into the bloodstream and influence inflammation throughout the body.

So this isn’t just about a “cleaning.”
It’s about lowering the overall bacterial burden your body is dealing with every day.

This approach is especially important if:
• You’ve been told you have gum disease
• You have implants or restorative work
• You want a more thorough, health-focused approach—not just a routine cleaning

If you’re already a patient, ask us about it at your next visit.
If you’re new, this is one of the ways we do dentistry differently.

Sometimes the most meaningful transformations have nothing to do with “perfect teeth.”

They’re about finally feeling heard, feeling comfortable, and feeling confident again.

We believe dentistry should feel personal, thoughtful, and connected to your overall health, not rushed or one-size-fits-all.
Hearing stories like this reminds us why we do what we do every day. 🤍

Thank you for trusting us with your smile and your health.

There’s something powerful about having more than one perspective when it comes to your health.

Dr. Rez works alongside me as part of your care team, bringing her own clinical insight and experience into every conversation. Not just to “check” things, but to truly look at what’s happening in your mouth and how it connects to the rest of your body.

Because wellness dentistry isn’t about one opinion. It’s about understanding the full picture.

When we collaborate on your care, you get:
A deeper evaluation
Thoughtful conversations about your options
And a plan that actually makes sense for your long-term health

You’re not just being told what you “need.”
You’re part of the process. You’re part of the decision.

That’s the difference.

Welcome to a more complete way of thinking about your dental health.

Most people think dentistry is about teeth.

It’s not.

It’s about understanding what’s happening in your body early… before it turns into something bigger.

When I look in your mouth, I’m not just checking for cavities.
I’m looking at inflammation, bacterial patterns, bite stress, and how all of that connects to your overall health.

Because what’s happening here doesn’t stay here.

That’s why our conversations may feel different than what you’ve experienced before.You’re not being “sold” dentistry. You’re being walked through what your body is telling us… and what we can do about it together.

That’s the shift from traditional dentistry to wellness-based care.
And once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

When you walk through our doors, the goal isn’t to rush you into a chair.

It’s to slow things down.

To meet you where you are.
To understand what you’ve experienced before.
And to help you feel comfortable enough to move forward at your pace.

A lot of people come in carrying stress from past dental visits.

You can feel it before a word is even said.

That’s why I’m intentional about how I show up.

You’ll notice it in the way I talk with you, not at you.
In how we walk through your options together.
And in the way we take our time so nothing feels overwhelming.

Because great dentistry isn’t just about what we do.
It’s about how you feel while we’re doing it.

You deserve to feel calm.
You deserve to feel understood.
And you deserve to feel confident in your care.

We’ll take great care of you here.

What if getting a crown didn’t mean multiple visits, a temporary, and weeks of waiting?

This is what we’re doing differently.

With our Primescan and Primemill technology, we design and create your crown right here in the office in a single visit. You get to see it before it’s ever placed, understand how it fits, and feel confident in the result.

No temporary.
No second appointment.
No guessing.

Kayla walks patients through every step so you’re not just being treated… you actually understand what’s happening and why it matters for your long-term health.

Because a crown isn’t just about fixing a tooth.

It’s about restoring strength, balance, and longevity to your bite.
If you’ve had a crown before, this is a completely different experience.

Ready to see what that feels like?

Your mouth changes during pregnancy — and those changes matter more than most people realize.

Hormones make gum tissue more reactive. A bacterial environment that was manageable before pregnancy can tip into active inflammation. And that inflammation doesn't stay local. Research has consistently linked untreated gum disease to preterm labor and low birth weight.

That's not a scare tactic. That's biology asking you to pay attention.

Here's what I want every pregnant patient to know:
Dental care during pregnancy is not just safe — it's recommended. The second trimester is the ideal window. If you've been putting off your appointment because you're pregnant, please don't.

Morning sickness matters too. Stomach acid softens enamel. There are simple, safe ways to protect your teeth from that damage and most patients have never been told what they are.
You're already doing so much to take care of your baby. Let your mouth be part of that plan.

We're here for you at every stage.

Most people sit in the dental chair wondering, "How did it get this bad?"

The answer is usually: they were told to wait and watch.

At Smiles by Hazen, we don't wait. When we catch early decay, we treat it, without a drill, without a needle, and without numbing.
We use Curodont, a peptide-based treatment that works with your body's biology. It penetrates the early lesion, forms a microscopic scaffold, and draws calcium and phosphate from your own saliva to rebuild your enamel from the inside out. Your tooth heals itself. We just give it what it needs to do that.

In this video, Bree shares what it was like to have an early cavity treatment option for her daughter. No shots. No drilling. One appointment.
Watch her experience here: https://youtu.be/YqvxdcgqFuc?si=P4FugapQAHtH5P6_

If you've ever been told to "keep an eye on" a spot on your tooth, that spot deserves more than watching. Ask us about Curodont at your next visit.
