Smiles International - The Washington DC Center for Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry
A Member of the American College of Prosthodontists


Welcome

We are a Prosthodontic Dental Practice specializing in Implant and Reconstructive Dentistry.

IT STARTS BY CHANGING
THE WAY YOU FEEL ABOUT
SEEING A DENTIST.
 

There’s a good reason that international, national, and local dignitaries trust their smiles to only our care.
 
First, forget everything you’ve ever experienced in a dental chair. Put it behind you. Here, you are not just another set of x-rays. Here, you are an individual with dental needs to be discovered and fulfilled.
 

 

That’s why, before we do anything else, we sit down and talk. We’ll discuss how you feel about your smile and how you want it to be now and in the future. We’ll talk about any concerns you may have about dental care.


 
Most importantly, this is done before you sit in a dental chair, so when you get there, we’ll know what you are looking for and how we can help.
 

TRAINING AND EXPERIENCE
THAT’S A STEP ABOVE.
 
Prosthodontics. It’s a dental specialty that concentrates on restorative care. That means extra training and expertise in the creation of crowns and bridges, implants, and esthetic procedures. The very foundations of a beautiful smile. The foundation of our reputation. At Sullivan, Kaihara, Watkins and Sullivan, Jr. we offer you the service of three credentialed Prosthodontists, some of whom have been practicing for more than three decades.
 
Rest assured, our training never stops. Each year our dentists continue to perfect their skills, taking more than thirty hours of continuing education each, to keep abreast of the latest, most effective procedures. Even going to the length of traveling to Europe to study implant dentistry under the tutelage of its developers. As well as hosting an internationally attended continuing education seminar for our referring partners.
 
WORKING AS A TEAM TOWARDS
A COMMON GOAL –
A MORE PERFECT SMILE.
 
No dentist is an island. Creating the perfect smile for you means that we openly share ideas from one practitioner to another. We regularly hold practice meetings to discuss particularly intricate cases to ensure that your teeth get the care the best possible care.
 
Furthermore, because of our commitment to our profession, we insist on the latest techniques and materials available. Our body of equipments included such innovations as an Intraoral camera to offer an up-close look at your mouth, and a computer imaging system that can show you what your smile should look like once treatment is complete.
 
When it comes to designing crowns, bridges, dentures, and implants, we demand the best for you. That’s why we have our very own state-of-the-art on-site dental lab, with technicians working under the direct guidance of our dentists to create a replacement that’s right for you.
 
A SCIENTIFICALLY STRUCTURED WAY
OF LOOKING AT YOUR DENTAL HEALTH.
 
Even the most beautiful smiles need a healthy foundation. That’s why we look at your dental care with a scientific approach involving four distinct areas which work together to give you a healthy and attractive smile.
 
* Biology – We start by looking for disease and bacteria-caused problems. Is there periodontal disease? Tooth decay?
 
* Structure – Next, we evaluate the structural condition of your teeth. Are there loose crowns? Cracks in the teeth?
 
* Function – Third, we look at how your teeth come together. Is there a bite issue? Are teeth missing or out of alignment?
 
* Aesthetics – Finally, we look at appearance. Is your smile as straight as you’d like? As white? Are there chipped teeth?
 
All of these factors are taken into account when we make recommendations.
 
After we’ve discussed your desires, and examined your teeth, we’ll sit down with you and create a plan for your lifelong dental health. Together, you and your dentist will decide which parts of the treatment plan should be addressed right way and which will be taken care of down the line.

TO A MORE BEAUTIFUL SMILE.
