Dentistry Services at District Smiles

At District Smiles, we pride ourselves on offering highly professional and competent dental care in a friendly and knowledgeable atmosphere. We will welcome you to our District Smiles family while providing caring dental treatment, whether you’re looking for preventative care, cosmetic improvements or restorations of your smile. 

Listed below are the many types of dentistry services we offer our patients from Northwest Washington, D.C.

General and Preventative Dentistry

General and preventative dentistry are so valuable because they help you avoid dental problems and expensive treatments. We are pleased to offer patients the following effective methods of protecting the health of their teeth and mouth:
  • Professional Teeth Cleaning

    Keeping your teeth sparking clean is the best way to prevent cavities and eventual tooth loss. When you are part of the District Smiles family, we will help you stay on the ideal schedule of visits to keep your teeth bright and shining.  

  • Gum Disease Therapy

    If gums develop tender, red areas or if they bleed after brushing, flossing or using a toothpick, it’s time to come see us. We’ll help you improve your at-home care regimen and provide any deep cleaning needed to restore your gums to health. 

  • Sealants

    Durable coatings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth create a barrier between bacteria and teeth. This is an especially good treatment for our young patients to help them avoid cavities. 

  • Oral Cancer Screenings

    Every time you visit District Smiles, we screen you for any signs of oral cancer. We check every corner of your face, lips, tongue, mouth and gums so we can detect the earliest possible signs of cancer. 

  • Fluoride

    Fluoride is a mineral that hardens tooth enamel. We may recommend a fluoride treatment for teeth to help susceptible patients lower their risk for cavities. Our professional treatment is stronger and more effective than any toothpaste or mouthwash that might be available in a store. 

  • Tooth Extractions

    No one looks forward to an extraction unless perhaps that tooth has been causing a lot of pain. Because we understand this very well, we focus on helping each patient stay as comfortable as possible throughout an extraction procedure.

Restorative and Cosmetic Dentistry

When decay, accidents or age take a toll on teeth, we have many ways to repair or strengthen them. If they can’t be saved, we know how to replace these missing teeth to complete our patients’ smiles. And when a more beautiful smile would make a patient’s dream come true, we know just how to make that person’s smile more even, straight and bright. Please talk to us about improvements needed for the health, strength or appearance of your teeth.
  • Invisalign

    For our patients who need to improve the alignment of their smiles, Invisalign is very popular. These patients can get the correction they need without having to experience the metal brackets and wires of conventional orthodontic work. Invisalign uses clear acrylic aligners to correct your smile. 

  • Porcelain Veneers

    Beautiful white veneers offer fast improvements to smiles that have suffered chipping or discoloration. A person who has always wanted a more attractive smile can quickly achieve this goal with sparkling veneers. 

  • Teeth Whitening

    Professional teeth whitening can make a dramatic difference in a person’s appearance. For some people seeking a more attractive smile, this is all the improvement they need. We have in-office treatment, at-home treatment and, when more effectiveness is needed, treatment systems that combine the two. 

  • Tooth-Colored Fillings

    Our patients love these fillings that keep their smiles nice and white. They are made from a durable composite resin that never darkens like metal fillings did. 

  • Inlays and Onlays

    When a cavity is too big for a simple filling or when a tooth has suffered a fracture, an inlay or onlay can solve the problem. Both are lab-created porcelain restorations. An inlay fits into the area that has been cleared of any decay. An onlay, which serves the same purpose, also replaces one of the points (cusps) of a tooth. 

  • Root Canals

    With root canal therapy, we can repair a tooth that would otherwise be lost to injury or infection. By helping you retain this tooth, we can help you keep your smile complete and healthy. 

  • Dental Crowns and Bridges

    When a patient needs to protect a weakened or damaged tooth or replace missing teeth, dental crowns and bridges do the job excellently and quickly. Crowns are often used after root canal therapy to strengthen the treated tooth. And when one or two teeth in a row are missing, a dental bridge can complete that smile in just a couple of weeks. 

  • Dental Bonding

    This versatile method of repairing teeth quickly corrects irregularly shaped teeth, fills in gaps between teeth, repairs chipped teeth and evens out the lengths of uneven teeth. 

  • Dentures

    With new methods of taking impressions for dentures and better materials and manufacturing methods, our patients receiving partial or complete dentures are so happy with their fit and durability. We work hard to ensure that every denture we provide is completely comfortable and stays snug in the mouth.
