The office was super outdated,dusty,peeling wallpaper,and disgusting in general. The dentist seemed like she knew what she was talking about, but her bedside manner left a lot to be desired.

It will cost ~$57,000 to repair the damage Dr. Djawdan has done to my mouth/teeth. Since my last…read morereview I have gotten several opinions from dentists, periodontists, and prosthodontists as to the best route to restore my bite and improve the health, function, gum recession, and aesthetics. The good news is that I don't have peridontal disease thanks to my excellent oral hygiene, despite all the trauma my mouth was put through. Note, I've never had a single dentist say I had periodontal disease, though Dr. Djawdan tried to claim I had periodontal disease as an excuse for problems with my dental work. Of course if I don't have it now I most certainly didn't then when my mouth was in a healthier state 6 years ago. The dentist who provided the comprehensive review is extremely talented, and has the ability to do things Dr. Djawdan says couldn't be done, like making crowns with natural looking pink gumlines for areas with gum recession. Unfortunately, I cannot afford to have that done at this time, but it is comforting to know there are talented dentists out there who will take on the challenges caused by another dentists problems. The very good news is I found another fantastic dentist who was able to get me out of crisis mode with the 2 broken teeth that I had to keep recementing myself. He was able to repair the teeth by creating larger gold posts and new crowns - no implants!!! I had asked Dr. Djawdan if he could replace the fiber posts that kept breaking with stronger ones, and he said no. Turns out, he just didn't have the skill to do it. This dentist was AMAZING. What is most amazing is that he was able to correct my bite with a couple of quick adjustments! Dr. Djawdan drilled and drilled for years making things worse, never better. I hope you never have to endure something like that. Even though the pain on the right side of my face isn't completely gone, it is reduced. After not eating like a normal person for years, I had to relearn how to eat again, It is wonderful to now be able to chew without fear of swallowing a tooth or having one break off. To be clear, I was NEVER told that the treatment plan Dr. Djawdan provided and that I went with would have a poor/guarded prognosis as his office claims. Would you hand over $30,000 when the best result you would get is poor? That would be insane. Especially - when I had a treatment plan with another dentist, Dr. Burch, and he was confident that he could provide an excellent result. Even after Dr. Djawdan caused the broken teeth, gum recession, and maladjusted bite that put my mouth in a more damaged state, no dentist after him offered a guarded/poor prognosis with their treatment plans, and they had a harder problem to fix so that claim is so illogical. I was happy with Dr. Burch's plan, but Dr. Djawdan gave me multiple reasons that the implant route was better than the fixed bridge plan Dr. Burch offered, and with Dr. Djawdan being closer to the family member who would be driving me to appointments I went with him. Would an ethical dentist say, go with me and pay $30,000 for a poor prognosis instead of using the dentist that is confident they can give you an excellent result for the same amount. Would an ethical dentist tell a healthy person the best treatment plan for them is to remove all your teeth - when the dental code to preserve teeth first and do no harm? This is very twisted. Dr. Djawdan won't accept any personal responsibility. He tried to blame my problems on peridontal disease - which I didn't have confirmed by multiple dentists. Then he said I had 4 root canals on abutement teeth - which was a blatant lie he knew wasn't true proved by xrays.* Then he says he told me I would only have a poor/guarded prognosis and I happily paid $30,000 anyway. Really? What dentist would even offer poor/guarded results as an option. Even though he never said that to me, that is a pretty pitiful thing to claim when you are marketing yourself as offering "state-of-the-art," "high-quality" dental care. I know many people found my review helpful and wanted a follow up. I still have a long way to go but I feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. *Dr. Djawdan's wife Rene removed the lie in reference to root canals on 4 teeth in her response after being called out on it, and now claims I had root canals on abutment teeth, when in fact only 1 abutment tooth in the treatment plan had a previous root canal.

But sure enough I called when I arrived. I was asked some health and travel questions. I was told I could come up. Staff took my temperature and had me sign for It. I was helped by Tina who showed me where to hang up my coat. She was so sweet too, I'm in crutches and she helped put all my stuff aside. Everyone was wearing masks and I saw a lot of hand washing. I was instructed to use hand sanitizer when I arrived as well. I sat down and Tina did my cleaning and the dentist did my exam and I was done in no time. Not much pain (only where I don't brush enough on one side). And everyone was so nice. Easy parking, easy to make appointments, and It felt very safe.

The office makes you feel at home from the moment you walk in the door. I was terrified of the dentist due to past experiences, but after Dr. Sklar's root canal (or 2) & replacing very old cavities, I felt no pain...only a slight pinch from the initial numbing injection. When I tell you it was painless, I'm not kidding. The man is a genius. Not to say I want additional dental work done, but if I needed painful work done - he is the only one. Additionally, I go there 4x a year for cleanings. The day Dr. Sklar retires I'm going to cry. :) On the parking issue someone mentioned - you will need to be buzzed into the building inside the vestibule, but you do not need to go register yourself or your car at the front desk. Go to their site (http://www.drsklar.com/patients.html), print out a parking permit & place it in your windshield. Easy as that. :)

Now that I no longer live in the Annapolis area, I travel almost 2 hours to see him.

I was given a sedative and allowed to relax lying back in the comfortable chair with a soft, cozy blanket and some nice music. They have numbing cream so that you don't feel the IV needle but I was already covered in the one he had prescribed for me earlier. I never felt the dreaded "stick" and the next thing I knew, I woke in my own bed at home with all of my dental work done. Today I feel refreshed and looking forward to my next visit in October.
