Periodontal diseases are caused by bacterial infections that attach to gums, ligaments, and bone in your mouth. Although the body has some natural defenses that resist bacterial attacks, these may not fully protect gum and bone tissues from inflammation and infection. Periodontal disease is caused by a variety of bacteria that create a sticky film on the teeth known as plaque.
Dr. James Vette, DDS is a mercury-free practice. This means that we've replaced the use of mercury silver amalgam fillings with composite white fillings. A composite filling is an easy process that can be completed in one dental visit. Our practice will provide a local anesthetic to numb the area against pain.
Your teeth are covered by an enamel that helps protect them. While regular brushing, flossing, and visits to Dr. Vette can minimize issues caused by plaque, crevices and uneven spots in teeth are more susceptible to plaque issues since the bristles of your toothbrush cannot reach these areas to remove food and plaque.
Get the highest quality teeth whitening procedures in the area at the dentist practice of Dr. James A. Vette, DDS. in Germantown, MD. Our bleaching procedures are customized for each patient. It's a better system than any over-the-counter products you'll find in a store because our teeth whitening applications are tailored to your teeth.

Terrible experience. I came here for the first time January 2021 for a regular cleaning. Later that evening chunks of food were getting stuck in between my teeth every time I chewed and I could not easily get it out with floss. I realized something wrong happened during my visit. I called and scheduled an appointment for the following week. It was a long, miserable week. I literally counted down the days. The morning of my appointment the receptionist calls to cancel my appointment. No apology or explanation. The next available date was not for another two weeks. I was very upset so I decided I

I have been a patient of Dr Vette for about 20 years. He and his staff are knowledgeable and caring. I greatly recommend Dr Vette for your dental work.

Dr. Vette is a top notch dentist. He’s always professional and takes time to explain the procedures, which puts you at ease. He’s not only my favorite dentist but the best dentist. You’re in good hands with Dr. Vette. The staff are always friendly and professional as well.

Hands down the most incredible dentist & dentist office you could imagine. I cannot stress it enough - not just Dr. Vette himself, but all 4 members of the team (at least the 4 I've met) are just simply wonderful. Most people aren't terribly excited about going to the dentist, and I have a somewhat irrational fear... Which has since been put to rest with my very 1st visit with them. Aside from being consummate professionals, legitimately excellent at what they do, I don't believe I've ever felt so welcomed by any doctor/doctor's office. I have/had a myriad of issues (quite embarrassing, mostly

Each step was a great experience from the welcoming front desk staff, friendly and experienced dental technician and then the wonderful dentist. They each were very helpful with my past dental office and helped me with those issues. Very honest and up front and I will definitely be back and recommend to others. Not out to just take your money, they care about the patients and it is obvious.
