District Dental Technology

One Visit Ceramic Crowns

Convenience is a major contributor in developing successful oral health strategies. When utilizing the CEREC 3 CAD/CAM crown creation system, our dentists are able to eliminate the need for additional visits that occur when we send the same crown to be developed by an external dental lab. These natural-looking crowns boost health and improve confidence.

Removable • Clear Braces

Straighter teeth and smiles provide many of our patients with a positive confidence transformation. Invisalign “braces” are removable, almost invisible, and custom formed using computer aided design. Active adults and professionals who have various orthodontic needs appreciate this metal-free choice.  Regular aligner updates move teeth lilte by little and within 6 months to 1 year many patients will get the results they need. Those who can benefit from Invisalign have...

• Overly crowded teeth
• Widely spaced teeth
• Overbites
• Underbites
• Crossbites

Safer Digital X-Rays

Digital radiography is 80-90% safer than traditional x-rays. Our dentists are also able to provide patients with vivid and descriptive color images that help them understand their oral health in detail. Expect a higher level of dental care and to more fully understand your condition and needs.

District Advanced Treatments

Teeth Reshaping • Cosmetic Bonding

Composite bonding provides a natural-looking result and a lifelike bond for teeth in various stages of decline. Chipped, cracked, discolored, and cavity pitted teeth can be restored. Lengthening and widening teeth, straightening the appearance of crooked teeth, and contouring of pointed teeth can also be achieved.

Smile Makeovers • Reconstructive & Esthetic

Oral health comes in many forms. For some it is about being able to eat what they want and live without pain. For others, it also about smile appearance and improved confidence. Our dentists, Dr. Peterson and Dr. Dudley will develop a dental treatment plan reflecting your needs, your input, and the best treatments to achieve your goals.

We offer Reconstructive Natural Looking Prosthodontics and Esthetic smile makeovers. Whether it is dental implants, crown/bridge, Invisalign, veneers, whitening, or bonding, you will get the dental care you want, need, and deserve.

Tooth Replacement Dental Implants

Missing teeth rapidly increase the decline of oral health. Surrounding teeth deteriorate faster. The jaw weakens and then shrinks. Dental implants strengthen the jaw and avoid the slipping problems of adhesive dentures. Our custom dental implant restorations provide a natural looking result.

Biting, chewing, and an unrestricted diet along with a youthful smile and jaw profile make custom dental implant restorations the perfect choice for everyone missing teeth. Dental implants are a very conservative choice, avoiding any changes to surrounding healthy teeth.

Porcelain Veneers

Beautiful, confident smiles change perspectives. They can warm a room, calm a tense situation, and improve the recipient’s life outlook. Porcelain veneers are often the means to achieve this smile effect. These ultra-thin, extremely durable, natural-looking restorations reshape appearance and dramatically brighten smiles.

Porcelain veneers are often called “instant orthodontics” because of their ability to change the angled appearance of teeth within as little as two visits. Veneers are a very conservative dental procedure, requiring minimal reshaping of the natural tooth.

Ceramic Crown and Bridge

Custom formed by the high performance dental laboratory our District dentists use, these high-quality, long-term, exquisite looking restorations give our patients the dental health and natural beauty they expect. Missing teeth, and broken, cracked, and worn teeth are transformed using these lifelike dental restorations.

Enhanced Smile Whitening

Bright, beaming smiles accentuate dental health and improve confidence. Busy Washington DC professionals and their spouses who want a whiter smile expect high-quality, lasting results. We provide professional, enhanced, safe, dentist-monitored smile whitening.

Over-the-counter whitening products often lack impact. Get whiter teeth and have a brighter day backed up by the expertise from DistrictDental.com dentists, Dr. Larry Peterson and Dr. Scott Dudley.
