Dr. Kufta has particular interests in dental implant surgery, wisdom tooth removal, oral pathology, trauma, and advanced bone grafting and maxillofacial reconstruction. Additional interests include the incorporation of virtual surgical planning to provide predictable, successful outcomes for patients seeking jaw and facial reconstruction. With previous leadership experiences in community outreach, he is also excited to become active in the community to help provide oral surgical care for the under-served in Annapolis.
In his spare time, Dr. Kufta enjoys spending quality time with his wife, Shannon, their three children, and their golden retriever. His hobbies include golfing, playing guitar, and spending time outdoors with his family. He is very grateful to have Drs.

“I’ve seen Dr. Hlousek on a number of occasions and am impressed not only by his surgical expertise and knowledge but how caring he is. He explained everything in advance and even called me the day after my procedure to see how I was feeling and to call if I needed anything. He has a big heart and even donates his valuable time and skills to those less fortunate… my kind of doctor!”
“Oral Surgery Specialists are wonderful. From the front desk staff, to the dental assistants, to the doctors, you couldn’t ask for better care. Dr. Jones was kind and compassionate, talking me through everything he was doing. I highly recommend this practice.”
“The team was tremendous. Everyone was extremely nice and explained the whole process in manner that was easy to absorb when you’re anxious about why you are there. During the procedure, Dr Chambers and the whole team were incredibly efficient and well orchestrated, all while being very attentive to pain levels. Absolutely an auto recommend.”
“Dr. Kufta has the hands of an angel!! He and his team are the absolute best at what they do. After four visits, they are still warm, professional, and excellent listeners who always make me feel comfortable and well cared for.”
