I find the most satisfaction in helping patients with intricate issues, many of which I have also experienced. 

“Dental health isn’t confined to aesthetics,” says Dr. Michael Rogers. “It’s deeply connected to overall wellness, with periodontal health as the foundation.” Prioritizing periodontal health ensures that his patients not only smile confidently but also enjoy vitality throughout their body. He designs solutions that align with each patient’s history, needs and goals.

Rogers graduated with honors from Harvard and attended dental school at UCLA. Prepared for anything that could be presented to him, he has had training in oral surgery, plastic surgery, anesthesiology and emergency medicine. 

In his tireless pursuit of evolving dental knowledge, Rogers keeps current with emerging technologies and techniques to ensure he can provide his patients with the best options for cosmetic dentistry, implants, sleep apnea, orthodontics, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and safe amalgam replacement. 

In private practice in Northern Virginia for more than 30 years, his interest in dentistry—and his empathy—developed at an early age when a childhood illness left him with weak tooth enamel and staining from antibiotics.

“I find the most satisfaction in helping patients with intricate issues, many of which I have also experienced,” says Dr. Rogers. “I have twice been treated with orthodontics, have had TMJ treatments and cosmetic dentistry, and have worn an oral device for sleep apnea. I can relate.”

During his TMJ residency, he made an appliance for himself, and as a side benefit it alleviated his back pain. “It unraveled the intricate tapestry of interconnected bodily health for me,” says Rogers, “giving me the understanding that a seemingly isolated dental issue could echo through the body.”
