Your Dentist Near Crofton, MD — Trusted Family Dental Care in Gambrills

Crofton is the kind of community where neighbors stop to chat while walking along Crofton Parkway, kids play in cul-de-sacs, and people put down roots for the long haul. It’s a place built around family, and that’s exactly the spirit you’ll find at Southern Maryland Family Dental, just a short drive up the road in Gambrills. We’ve been caring for families across Anne Arundel County for years.

A Dentist for Crofton Families

Crofton was built with families in mind: the cul-de-sacs, the schools, the Farmers’ Market, the Friday night games at Crofton High School. We think your dental practice should be built that way, too. At Southern Maryland Family Dental, we see patients from first teeth through retirement, and we genuinely enjoy watching families grow up with us over the years.

Dr. Michael Saoud has been part of this community for years. He’s coached travel soccer, served as Rotary president, and spent over a decade caring for patients from La Plata to Gambrills. His training at the VA Medical Center in Baltimore gave him advanced skills in implants, oral surgery, sedation, and bite disorders, and his training at the LD Pankey Institute deepened an already strong commitment to getting dentistry right.

From your child’s first cleaning to Invisalign® for a busy professional to implants for a grandparent, we handle it all with skill, patience, and a genuinely caring team that remembers your name.
