Gardner Wendell K DDS

Between the strip malls and fast-food drive-thrus a little north of Dunkirk, Gardner Wendell K DDS sits inside a brick plaza bordered by pines that stay green straight through January. The office faces Ward Road’s steady traffic of commuters and day-trippers heading toward the bay, making it one stop you can pencil in before or after errands. Inside, they don’t just count fillings; periodontics, crowns, children’s dentistry, and quick walk-in exams all share the same check-in window, which saves the usual back-and-forth of referrals and repeats.

A wing of 3150 W Ward Rd #403 places Gardner Wendell K DDS above Dunkirk Towne Centre’s mostly retail clutter without the usual strip-mall anonymity. Crowns, cleanings, implants, sleep-apnea devices, veneers—the list fills a column you don’t scroll twice. Print the address on a napkin if you’re memorizing turns; the plaza’s covered walkway is hard to spot from the far lane, but once you swing under the green awning you’re pointed straight to suite 403.

When your phone’s dead and you need to lock in a time, dial (410) 257-5333 before you circle back for gas. Need a map that drops you at the exact door? Follow directions on the map view; it skips the Dunkirk sprawl and lands you on the frost-free side of the building. Somewhere in Calvert County, that pharmacy chain down the road still has its lights on past seven.
