Slate Dental offers a range of dental services designed to meet the needs of patients from the Washington, D.C., metro area. With a commitment to excellent patient care, our dental care team focuses on delivering high-quality dental treatments in a comfortable environment.
General Dentistry
Regular dental exams and cleanings are crucial for maintaining oral health. Our dental health professionals conduct thorough examinations to detect any issues early on. Regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, keeping your teeth and gums healthy.
We utilize advanced X-ray technology to get a complete picture of your dental health. These images help us diagnose hidden issues, such as cavities between teeth or bone loss, ensuring comprehensive care.
We offer tooth fillings for patients with cavities that restore the tooth’s integrity. We also offer sealants, particularly for children, to protect their teeth from decay. These preventative measures are essential for long-term dental health. For more information on our preventative and general dental care services, please visit General dentistry.
Root Canals
If you have a tooth infection or severe decay, a root canal can save your tooth. This process will remove the infected tissue and restore the tooth’s health, preventing further issues. Our practice refers patients to an endodontist to perform this procedure.
Gum Disease Treatment
Gum disease is a common but serious condition. Early treatment is crucial to prevent tooth loss and other complications. Dr. John Slate’s team offers effective treatments to manage and combat gum disease, helping you maintain healthy gums.
Cosmetic Dentistry
A bright smile can boost your confidence. We offer professional teeth whitening treatments that are more effective than over-the-counter products. Our treatments are designed to give you a whiter, brighter smile. Furthermore, we offer our patients GLO Whitening for quick, effective results
Porcelain veneers are an excellent option for those looking to improve the appearance of their teeth. These custom-made shells cover imperfections, giving you a flawless smile. Veneers are a durable and lasting solution for chipped or stained teeth.
Clear aligners provide a discreet way to straighten teeth for patients needing orthodontic treatment. Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are nearly invisible and can be removed for eating and brushing, making them a convenient option. For patients interested in clear aligners, Dr. Slate can refer you to an orthodontist for treatment. For more information on cosmetic dental care, please visit Cosmetic dentistry.
Restorative Dentistry
Losing a tooth can be distressing. Dental implants offer a permanent solution that looks and feels like natural teeth. Dr. John Slate’s practice uses advanced techniques to ensure the best outcomes for implant procedures.
Whether you have a damaged tooth or need to replace one, crowns and bridges are effective solutions. Crowns cover damaged teeth, restoring their function and appearance. Bridges can replace one or more missing teeth, filling the gap and maintaining your smile’s integrity.
For patients who have lost multiple teeth, dentures provide a reliable replacement option. We offer both partial and full dentures tailored to fit comfortably and function effectively. With modern dentures, you can enjoy a natural-looking smile once again. For patients looking for a more stable denture option, we have full arch implant rehabilitation.
