Your Premier DC Concierge Dental Practice
Welcome to a radically different dental experience. As a leading DC concierge dental practice, Slate Dental combines world-class clinical results with a completely frictionless, stress-free environment. In fact, each year, dental professionals are surveyed to determine the absolute best practitioners in our community, and I am incredibly proud that our peers consistently vote us to the top of our class in Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry. Ultimately, my goal is to deliver that exact level of recognized excellence directly to you, without ever making you feel rushed.
Engineering a Flawless Smile
Furthermore, properly restoring a smile is a mini engineering marvel. A naturally beautiful smile has vital protective benefits built right into its design. By capturing your unique biology and jaw movements, we engineer restorations that stabilize your oral health and stop the breakdown of your teeth.
It is incredibly common for people to adapt to a compromised smile, accepting daily discomfort as just a normal part of life. For instance, you might brush off bleeding gums, food constantly catching in open spaces, or the rough, annoying edges of old fillings. Perhaps you have noticed your bite shifting, your teeth gradually flattening and chipping, or you have simply learned to chew differently to avoid odd temperature sensitivity. However, these are not just signs of getting older; they are red flags of structural breakdown. As a result, our custom transformations do more than just fix teeth. By engineering a structurally sound bite, we eliminate this hidden, chronic discomfort and restore a vibrant, confident aura to your life that you may not have realized was missing.
Precision, Patience, and Craftsmanship
This level of high-end dentistry requires a delicate balance of artistry and mechanics. Surfing in Florida and the quiet precision of bow hunting taught me to stay perfectly calm under pressure. Meanwhile, spending hours restoring my vintage camper van honed my deep appreciation for complex structures and meticulous craftsmanship. Therefore, I bring that exact same focus and mechanical aptitude to your smile. To ensure my patients receive the absolute best, I attend exclusive continuing education courses that teach the most advanced protocols in the world. Moreover, executing these protocols with ultimate precision is what guarantees your highly effective, long-lasting clinical outcomes.
Beyond the Clinic
Additionally, when I am not in the clinic, my absolute favorite hobby is my family. Above all, I cherish spending time with my wife, Meagan, and keeping our two growing daughters, Emory and Camille, entertained. Our weekends are usually spent wandering local community events, hosting backyard BBQs, or exploring all the activities that DC has to offer. We love being outdoors together, whether that means hiking, traveling, or just enjoying a slow morning listening to Jack Johnson or local Maryland bands like Ballyhoo. As a proud University of Florida alum who grew up on the water, I also try to get out hunting or fishing whenever I can. We are also big sports fans, so you will frequently find us cheering on UF basketball and football, along with a healthy dose of NFL games.
Whether you are looking for routine preventative care or a complete full mouth rehabilitation, we tailor every treatment entirely around your comfort.
