Periodontist – Crofton, MD | Oral Health for your Whole Body Health

At The Mugford Center for Periodontics & Dental Implants, we approach dental health as integral to whole body health. Drs. David Mugford and John Bruce, along with our dedicated team, specialize in the treatment of gum disease and the precise placement and maintenance of dental implants. We recognize that your overall health and dentistry extend beyond exceptional treatment; it’s also about fostering open communication and building lasting relationships.

The growth of harmful bacteria can lead to conditions like periodontitis or gingivitis, impacting the soft tissue and bone in the jaw. Further, poor oral health is associated with forms of cardiovascular disease like coronary artery disease, clogged arteries, and stroke. Well-known, respected medical studies also correlate oral bacterium with pancreatic cancer.

While our primary focus is on prevention, we are well-equipped to address all stages of gum disease, from initial symptoms like bleeding gums to complete dental implant restoration.

Our periodontists possess extensive training and expertise in treating gum disease through minimally invasive methods, including LANAP® laser treatment.

At The Mugford Center for Periodontics & Dental Implants, your comfort and long-term well- being are our top priorities throug- hout your treatment journey. We offer sedation dentistry to ensure your experience is as comfortable and relaxing as possible.

With guidance from our highly skilled doctor and staff, you’ll receive top-tier preventative and restorative care, ultimately leading to improved overall health and renewed confidence.
