A “crown replacement near me” Google search led me to Dr. Marlin - I’m beyond grateful for finding him and his crew! Dr. Marlin replaced a poorly fitted, aesthetically unpleasing crown I received years ago from someone else. His chairside manners are incredible and his expertise is evident as soon as he walks in the room. My new crown is BEAUTIFUL. It’s high quality, perfectly fitted, and blends in with the rest of my smile. A big thank you to Ziad for assisting Dr. Marlin during all my visits. Another big thank you to Felix for working alongside Dr. Marlin to create my crown in their in-house lab. The entire experience was actually fun haha. You’ll get genuine assistance from the front desk and once there, the rest of the team will give you their undivided attention.

I rarely write reviews for professional services rendered. It is my expectation that professionals should meet a very high level of qualitative standards and personal assumptions. I live in Northwest Washington, DC. I had a good degree of anxiety to find a Prosthodontist who could provide restoration for an implant that had gone array after 20 years due to an athletic injury suffered during college. I search online to locate a variety of Prosthodontists near Friendship Heights where there is a large grouping of dental practices. I met with Dr. Marlin and his staff. He explained to me the entire process which included the time frame, the series of procedures, and a tour of the facility which included the in-house lab. The implant had become loose and could not be reinserted into my mouth. After a review of the X-rays and situation, He recommended a much larger yet necessary procedure. The bone had deteriorate significantly that it would take much more extensive work. A bridge that would span across the lower part of mouth. This was a bit shocking to me. The level of comfort, the professionalism and friendliness of the entire staff and transparent communications lead me to chose Dr. Marlin. I have not regretted my decision. Dr. Marlin is 5 star Prosthodontist. Many individuals strived for perfection and many fall short because good is enough, too much time and resources has been spent on a patient, or they have too many commitments. This is not the value ethics of the Elite Prosthetic Dentistry. I was not discharged as a patient until the work on teeth had met his high standards and I was comfortable with the look and feel within my mouth. This office is filled with individuals who are happy to work there and interact with the patients. Finally, do not balked if you feel the services are a bit pricey. You get what pay for. I received much more that I pay. I recommend Dr. Marlin and his staff wholeheartedly and without hesitation!

Dr. Marlin is by far the most compassionate and knowledgeable Dentist I have encountered in my over 40 years of dental care. He quickly and expertly diagnosed my complex issue and was able to treat it. His staff also shares the same high standards and ideals of patient care, and are always such a pleasure to deal with. They all exude an unmatched level of patient care and commitment to satisfaction that I have never experienced elsewhere. I will continue to use this top notch practice for my complex dental needs for years to come.

I cannot recommend Dr. Gerald Marlin and Elite Prosthetic Dentistry more highly. For most of my adult life, Jerry has provided me with the most exquisite dental care, creatively and collaboratively solving my myriad of challenges through the years. I’ve got some rotten teeth, grind my jaw mercilessly among other things, so I did not make it easy on him, but Jerry has given me a smile which is always noticed by friends and family and jumps out in photos. His staff is flawless, his quality is top-notch, and this man really cares about providing prosthetic dentistry that will last far beyond normal expectations.

Like any service, the cost depends upon how many teeth are being treated, the type and difficulty of the procedures, and the expertise (specialist vs general dentist) of the therapist.
We routinely provide oral sedation for our patients as they undergo extended procedures, and even provide I.V. sedation dentistry.
Most dental insurance plans exclude cosmetic procedures or, at the best, approve only the most basic of cosmetic procedures. Their goals, based upon the “bottom line”, are, typically, very different than yours, which is why they exclude cosmetic dental therapy.
While cosmetic dentistry procedures can certainly be performed by dentists working with a commercial laboratory, we have a distinct advantage with our custom fabricated crowns created by our own technician in our in-house laboratory working directly with you, chairside, to establish the ideal smile-with the best fitting crowns and veneers.
The average crown last 7-10 years. However, our crowns last over 35 years. Having an in-house laboratory allows us to maintain a strict quality control regimen, which, in combination with our treatment protocol, prevents problems occurring from inadequately fitting crowns.
We are renowned for creating “simply radiant, simply natural” crowns and veneers. With a complete control of translucency and internal coloration, we are able to make the crowns and veneers match to your specific look.
Crowns and veneers are fabricated in a dental laboratory. They are either custom fabricated by a dental technician or they are milled by a CAD/CAM machine. We routinely offer custom fabricated crowns fabricated in our in-house laboratory.
First, we take detailed records and discuss what you are looking for. Then our in-house dental technician (see in-house laboratory) creates a “wax-up” of what your crowns or veneers will look like taking into account your smile line including the shape of your lips and your specific facial pattern. Once you approve the aesthetics, we set up your sequence of therapy.
No. The specialist for cosmetic dental procedures is a Prosthodontist, who is the recognized specialist in restorative dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry, also referred to as smile makeover, smile design, cosmetic makeover, or full mouth reconstruction, is that area of dentistry focused on the improvement of your appearance using crowns, veneers, and/or restorations and tooth whitening.
Many times the specialist with implant restoration, the prosthodontist, can remake the abutment and crown and fix the problem.
No. If abutments are not correctly designed, they can adversely affect the look, function, and longevity of your implant. The expertise of the laboratory technician is critical. Do they know how to create a bio-compatible abutment?
There are two main types of abutments: those that are cast in the laboratory and those that are machined. Both, if created correctly, are very effective with restoring implants.
An abutment is the transition restoration that is in the shape of a crown-prepared tooth that connects to the implant and transitions it to your oral environment. A crown is seated on the abutment providing you with the look and feel of a tooth.
“Precision Implant Placement” of performing a “virtual reality” wherein the image of each implant is seated on a CBCT scan (CT scan) of your jaw. This image is precisely placed according to the best bone and final crown location. A surgical guide is made from this CBCT scan imaging dictating the surgical placement of the implant without error.
Precision implant placement and restoration are the key to long-lasting implants. In our office, we begin with Precision Implant Placement followed by custom fabricating the optimal abutment and crown for the implant.
In our practice, 97% of our implants last well over 20 years. However, many patients do experience peri-implantitis (bone loss) and/or peri-mucositis (inflammation of the gum tissues) around their implants.
That can be a major problem with the resulting aesthetics and may even affect how long the implant lasts.
The dental implant has internal threads to accept an abutment and a crown that has been made in a dental laboratory. Once they have been inserted, you have been rejuvenated.
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is placed in the jaw without any pain that replaces a missing tooth root. Once it is restored, you have a new tooth!
