Services
Same Day Crowns
Our CEREC technology creates custom dental crowns in one visit using precision 3D scanning and milling. This eliminates traditional lab wait times while maintaining superior fit and aesthetics. Patients receive durable, natural-looking restorations matched to their existing teeth.
Teeth Whitening
Take-home whitening kits use prescription-strength gels for safe, effective stain removal without sensitivity. Custom-fitted trays ensure even application and optimal results. We avoid unnecessary LED lights that lack proven effectiveness for color change.
CBCT Scans
Cone Beam CT scans provide detailed three-dimensional views of teeth, bone, and nerves. This technology enables precise treatment planning for implants, root canals, and complex diagnostics. The Washington, DC office houses this advanced imaging equipment.
Night Guards
Custom-fitted occlusal guards prevent tooth damage from nighttime grinding. These appliances protect enamel and may help reposition jaws to alleviate TMJ discomfort. We provide durable, comfortable solutions tailored to individual bite patterns.
Root Canals
Modern root canal procedures remove infected pulp while preserving tooth structure. Using advanced techniques, we complete most treatments in single visits with minimal discomfort. This saves natural teeth and prevents extraction needs.
