TANIA CHIMWEMWE NKUNGULA-HOWLETT

Oral surgery often conjures images of hospital wings or sprawling medical campuses, but specialized care doesn’t always require a trek downtown. Tania Chimwemwe Nkungula-Howlett practices in a quieter corner of Prince George’s County, where the focus remains squarely on procedures like wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, and corrective jaw surgery. The field demands precision—whether addressing impacted teeth, reconstructing facial trauma, or preparing patients for dentures—and her office handles the kind of cases that general dentists typically refer out. Largo isn’t the first place that comes to mind for surgical care, yet the area’s mix of residential calm and commercial accessibility makes it a practical choice for those needing more than a routine cleaning.

The suite at 1401 Mercantile Ln #102 sits just off the main drag, tucked into a professional plaza that’s easy to overlook if you’re not looking for it. Most patients arrive by car, given the suburban layout, though the location is still within reach of Metrobus routes for those relying on transit. Questions about procedures or scheduling are best directed to the practice’s line: (301) 200-8112. For a first visit—or just to scout the route—directions pull up a map that shows the plaza’s unassuming entrance, flanked by a mix of medical offices and small businesses. It’s the kind of spot where the real activity happens behind closed doors, far from the fanfare of shopping centers or tourist hubs.
