We Want to Stand Out - For YOU!


In today's hustle and bustle, always on-the-go lifestyle, it's no surprise that people are always looking to get things done more quickly.


As corporate dental practices continue to pop up in the most convenient of places, it's important that our patients (and potential patients!) understand just what sets us apart. 



But don't take our word for it; here's what our patients who have visited corporate offices have to say: 


  • "I scheduled an appointment for a cleaning, but waited almost two hours before I was even seated! The worst part? The same thing happened to my husband a few days later." 
  • "Every visit there's a new doctor. I feel like treatment is always changing and I don't eve know the person digging around in my mouth."
  • "When scheduling I've had to call repeatedly and leave messages. When they do answer or call back, their hours are so limited that it's difficult to schedule. I don't know what would happen in a true dental emergency."
  • "The staff rarely make me feel like I'm more than a number. I imagine their turnover is high because it always seems like there's someone new and not quite trained." 
  • "I just had a crown done a few months ago and it's already giving me issues. I was told there's nothing that they can do and the crown will need to be redone - at full price!" 
  • "I visited Dr. Gardner's office after getting a treatment plan from a corporate office. Dr. Gardner's fees were lower!" 
Here's how we're different:

  • We value our patients' time. We do not double book and rarely do patients even find themselves with time to take a seat in our reception area.
  • Dr. Gardner has proudly served Montgomery County for 27 years. He and Dr. Romeo consider their patients extended family and enjoy hearing and learning about their personal lives. Continuity of treatment is incredibly important to both of them.
  • All patients are given the doctors' personal cell phone numbers in the event of any emergency. In addition, our phones are answered 24/7 by a friendly team member, not an answering service. Call by 12 pm and you'll be seen for a dental emergency the same day - guaranteed! We also proudly offer early morning and late afternoon appointments to accommodate even the most complicated of schedules.
  • We pride ourselves on our customer service. It is the goal of each team member to over-deliver and make sure that our patients have an exceptional experience in our office. We don't take hiring lightly - all of our team members are cross-trained to better serve you! 
  • Our doctors stand behind their work. So much so that as long as patients maintain their regular hygiene visits, work is Waran'teeth'ed a minimum of 5 years!

Scholarship Opportunity for Dental Assisting Course




Is education just what the doctor ordered? That seems to be the case for Dr. Tim Gardner, D.D.S. of Montgomery County Dental Assisting School (MCDAS).

Dr. Gardner opened MCDAS in 2013 after becoming frustrated with technical schools offering dental assisting programs. He learned that students were paying about $6,000 for tuition and upon completion of the program had little to no clinical skills or experience.

MCDAS’s unique approach goes beyond book work, unlike the technical schools, and dives into clinical participation in an operating dental practice. This one-of-a-kind learning experience equips students with valuable skills and information they need to make an immediate difference in the dental field.

For the first time, the program is offering two full scholarships. Those who are interested are asked to write a short essay detailing what interests them about dentistry and why they would be a good fit in a dental practice. Submissions will be accepted via email at mocodentalassisting@gmail.com until Friday, January 18, 2019.

Montgomery County Dental Assisting School’s mission is to properly train and educate students in the art of dental assisting. Students can expect to receive personalized teaching in a small class setting, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and understanding of dental terminology. With the added flexibility of classes held on Saturdays for just 10 weeks, many have the opportunity to continue working while training for a new career.
