Services
Periodontal Disease Treatment
Our specialists provide comprehensive treatment for all stages of periodontal disease using non-surgical and surgical methods. We utilize the LANAP Protocol with PerioLase MVP-7 laser technology to eliminate infection while preserving healthy tissue. Patients benefit from personalized care plans that address bone loss, gum recession, and other complications.
Dental Implants
We offer precision dental implant placement using leading systems like Astra, Straumann, and Nobel Biocare. Our specialists perform bone grafting and sinus lifts to ensure successful implant integration. Patients receive durable, natural-looking replacements that restore function and aesthetics for missing or damaged teeth.
Sedation Dentistry
Our practice provides general anesthesia and semi-conscious sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. This service helps patients with dental anxiety or complex procedures complete necessary care with minimal discomfort and stress.
LANAP Protocol
We utilize the PerioLase MVP-7 laser for minimally invasive periodontal treatment. This FDA-approved protocol removes diseased tissue while preserving healthy structures, promoting bone regeneration, and reducing recovery time compared to traditional surgery methods.

Dr. Houser and his team are fantastic. The entire procedure was completed in 30 minutes and virtually pain free. Tooth extraction and bone craft.

Report
I saw Dr. McKnight for a tooth extraction in a preliminary exam followed up by an extraction 2 weeks later. Having had excessive bleeding in the past and now being on Plavix I was concerned but Dr. McKnight did the extraction easily and initially no excess bleeding but 7 hours later she had me return as bleeding increased more than expected. Dr. McKnight took a conservative approach and treated the area so that the bleeding was halted and I was comfortable.
We felt she was friendly, caring and extremely professional in all her treatment of me. All of the assistants were knowledgable, friendly and professional as well. While I center on Dr. McKnight who I'd highly recommend for care I think the entire staff is at the high end of professional care. The Practice is extremely busy but with all the patients you can still feel like you are cared for individually.
