Meet Your Washington, DC, Dentist

John Slate, D.M.D.


My life is driven by mastering complex skills. Surfing in Florida and the quiet precision of archery taught me to stay perfectly calm under pressure, while restoring my vintage camper van honed my mechanical patience. I bring that exact same focus, discipline, and eye for detail to your dental care. When you sit in my chair, we will handle your unique needs with total confidence and zero stress.

Washingtonian Top Dentist Winner (2021, 2023, 2025), AACD Accredited Member, and Bethesda Magazine Top Dentist 2024 awards for Dr. John Slate.
