Why Patients Choose a Specialist
Dental Work Not Functioning as It Should?
If your implants, crowns, veneers, or reconstruction feel unstable or look wrong, a specialist evaluation identifies the cause and the right path forward.
Get a second opinion →Planning Treatment You Want Done Right
Want implants, reconstruction, or replacement dentistry planned and executed correctly from the start? A prosthodontic evaluation ensures the plan, bite, materials, and execution are right from the beginning.
Explore specialist care →Older Dentistry Ready for a New Plan
If older crowns, bridges, or veneers are wearing, loosening, or harder to maintain, a comprehensive evaluation can show whether planned replacement is more predictable than repeated repairs.
Explore restorative options →Symptoms Without a Clear Answer?
If teeth are wearing, chipping, or shifting, or your bite no longer feels right, and no one has explained why, a diagnostic evaluation identifies the cause and what it will take to correct it.
Find the cause →Gerald Marlin, DMD, MSD
Dr. Marlin is a specialty-trained prosthodontist who has dedicated his career to restorative and implant dentistry, from a single crown to full-mouth reconstruction. With 40+ years in practice, 3,900+ implants placed and restored, and recognition as a Washingtonian Top Dentist for 22+ consecutive years, patients come from Washington, DC, the surrounding suburbs, and beyond for careful diagnosis, long-term planning, and treatment designed to function predictably. Cases are evaluated, planned, and restored within a fully integrated practice, with an in-house dental laboratory and a clinical team built around prosthodontic specialty care. Whether you are correcting older dental work, replacing aging restorations, or planning new treatment that must be right from the start, the same diagnostic depth and standards apply.
Every Restoration Built On-Site to Exact Specifications
Every crown, veneer, and implant restoration is fabricated on-site in our private dental laboratory to Dr. Marlin's exact specifications. Direct clinical-laboratory coordination ensures precision at every stage. Our dental lab technician meets with you chairside to ensure a perfect match to your natural tooth shape, shade, and translucency.
Same-Day Adjustments, Accelerated Timelines
Our in-house dental laboratory allows direct clinical-laboratory coordination. Treatment that might otherwise require extended timelines is often completed in days, with real-time adjustments and refinements at every stage.
From a Single Crown to Full-Mouth Reconstruction
Not every patient needs major treatment. Many come to Elite Prosthetic Dentistry for a single crown, a few veneers, a bridge, or to replace older dental work that no longer looks or functions the way it should. The same diagnosis, fit, bite control, material selection, and in-house laboratory craftsmanship apply whether your treatment is limited or comprehensive. Treatment ranges from replacing older crowns to full mouth reconstruction depending on each patient's needs.
