I've been receiving care at this location for over a year. I've always been greeted by the staff with tender loving care! The staff have always greeted me with smiles and have been so pleasant it just warmed my heart. I have to take a moment to make sure I leave a review to let the center know how much I appreciate their care and pleasant responses. Dr. Jose's team and Dr. Torres's team made sure I was comfortable and relaxed from the time I stepped in the door to scheduling my next appointment. My treatment has always been explained very thoroughly. The practice is extremely beautiful and kind of reminds me of a spa. The doctor's and staff are caring and highly competent. The office is clean, very efficient and reminds me of a spa. I recommend the Little Patuxent location of the Columbia Center for Implants & Periodontics 100%. My insurance needed additional information from the center which was resolved immediately. The staff followed up with me pleasantly and made sure I was informed and received the reference number for my comfort and satisfaction. They have always made me feel like family. Thank you to all of the staff for their Care, Kindness and Smiles! Sincerely, Dawn Brooks

I'm in the middle of my implants. I'm seriously hoping they come out great. I do have some…read morecomments. The office is seriously taking on too many patients. Any time you have an appointment, you will wait 1 hour to 2 hours. The waiting is jammed with people. I feel as though after they got my money, they don't care about me. People in the waiting room grumble about how much they always have to wait and how poorly the office is run. Usually you have five women behind the desk and they all tell you it will be 5 minutes-- it isn't. You'll be waiting a long, long time. There are things they don't tell you. they say it will be 4 to 6 months for implants--- it won't be. More like 8 months. Once you are in the implant process, you won't be seen by a dentist, but a dental assistant. the dentist doesn't have time for you. That doesn't work for me. Dr. Chon needs to be a lot more patient with people. He talks very fast and is arrogant and rude. He is kind of hyper and talks very fast. I wish I would have found another dentist that was kinder and more considerate. I don't feel good about the dental office's practices.

The head dentist has done some intensive work on my mouth over the years (even though the aesthetics were not the best). I often complained about my smile as I told Dr. K I NOT LIKE my smile (based on the work he did). Recently, the head dentist performed what I feel was faulty bridge work over implants. I paid quite a bit out of pocket for the dental work. The bridge failed in 6 months (this work should have lasted many years); besides that the work looked poor & I was uncomfortable with my smile). I reached out to the practice about fixing the faulty work and addressing the aesthetics. The dentist agreed to see me but stated because my insurance changed, to repair or even review his faulty work the visit would be OUT OF POCKET! Why should I have to pay this dentist again to fix his faulty work? I declined to accept the appointment. I have paid him more than enough money over what must be 20 years. Patronize this practice at your own risk but don't expect a perfect or quality smile. I will not recommend another person to this practice (sorry if I recommended you & it was not a good result/experience). Signed, Ms. Seriously Disappointed

Choosing to patronize, this business was one of the best decisions I've made in a very long time. The staff at Dental Designs, from the receptionist, to the hygienist, to the dentist are amazing. As someone who has anxiety about the dentist, they all made me feel very comfortable. They took the time to understand my wants, but also made sure to address my needs is in the process. I am really looking forward to continuing my dental journey. I mean, who actually looks forward to going to the dentist? If you're looking to have some cosmetic work done, or just looking for a change in dentist, I would definitely suggest Dental Designs!

I still can't speak about the BOTCHED dental job (veneers) I got on May 22--and it's exactly two…read moremonths later--at Laurel Smiles for $7,152!!! I loved my smile BEFORE my veneers! I had bonding for 40 years and had gotten a small chip, so I had a small gap again, which I wish I would've just kept! Dentists don't want to do bonding, anymore, as I guess there's not enough money in that. I keep wishing I could go back because I HATE MY TEETH NOW!!! I am someone who smiles constantly; now, I keep my mouth closed as much as I can. I had a small overbite, which I discussed with Dr. Cooper asking how the veneers would affect that. Three dentists, including Dr. Cooper, had expressed that my two front teeth were "too big." I love my teeth and have had 40 years of compliments about my smile! Dr. Cooper said she would do four veneers and make the two front teeth a little smaller and the other two slightly larger. After almost 6 weeks of a comedy of errors (wrong veneers sent twice, one the color was too dark (but probably not), the fourth and final ones in my mouth--I have two HUGE front buck teeth, a HUGE overbite (I'm so uncomfortable when people can see my teeth from the side), and the veneers are a TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLOR from my natural teeth!!!!!!! Oh, my veneers were EVEN BIGGER than they are now--I had Dr. Cooper shave them down!! I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL!!! I am having the veneers removed and ortho (Invisalign) because I can't even take a chance of another botched job! I paid $1500 for the ortho as that's what I was told at the other dentist office to get started. Turns out I need to pay another $3500 for a total of $5000 for them to do the gum surgery, temporary veneers, and ortho fitting. I just paid $7152 at Laurel Smiles, which brings me to $8,652 I've now spent. I can't afford to pay anymore right now, so I'm stuck with these HORRENDOUS things in my mouth until I can afford to get them removed and do the new treatment. On top of that, I will now be forced to wear a retainer in my mouth four nights a week for the rest of my life!!!!! If you're getting all veneers, maybe you'll be okay. If you're not, KEEP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER DENTIST!!!! I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW I WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME!!!! OH, THE REPAIR JOB--JUST UNDER $15,000 WITH A DISCOUNT!! Oh, I also do not bite into anything! My veneers are so thick, and my teeth don't meet like they should, and I'm afraid they'll pull off and split my gums!! Below are photos of what I used to look like and what I look now! I would also like to say it is embarrassing for me to post these photos!!!

Eventually we tried without, so she truly made me feel comfortable to try without & I survived. Ive had a few fillings done and as difficult as it is to go through, everyone there made me feel comfortable. The last couple years I was switched over to Dr. Brown and I absolutely LOVE her!

The office is clean, pleasant atmosphere and if you are looking for a natural holistic approach, this is for you. Yes, they are PRICEY! Insurance does help but recently policy changed, so you have to pay upfront, they will file your claim and you'll have to await any reimbursement from your insurance. Parking is free and pretty easy on their garage. Bathroom is clean, standard public use which is shared with the condominium accessed through the lobby after you've checked in with the office.
