Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide permanent tooth replacement solutions through surgically placed titanium posts that support crowns, bridges, or dentures. This treatment restores full functionality while preventing jawbone deterioration. Patients benefit from improved chewing ability, natural appearance, and long-term oral health benefits through bone preservation.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers offer transformative cosmetic solutions for stained, chipped, or misaligned teeth. These thin ceramic shells bond to tooth surfaces, creating uniform, natural-looking smiles. The two-visit process delivers durable, stain-resistant results that maintain structural integrity while enhancing aesthetic appeal through customized color matching.
Invisalign
Invisalign provides discreet orthodontic treatment using custom clear aligners to straighten teeth gradually. The removable trays offer comfort and convenience compared to traditional braces. Treatment duration typically ranges from 12-18 months with visible improvements appearing within weeks through controlled tooth movement.
Sleep Apnea Therapy
Custom oral appliances treat obstructive sleep apnea by maintaining open airways during sleep. These devices reposition the jaw to prevent breathing interruptions, reducing snoring and improving sleep quality. Non-invasive alternatives to CPAP machines provide comfortable, effective solutions for mild to moderate sleep apnea cases.
Sedation Dentistry
Sedation options including oral and IV sedation help patients overcome dental anxiety during procedures. This approach ensures comfortable experiences while maintaining treatment effectiveness. Patients receive appropriate sedation levels tailored to individual needs, allowing complex treatments to be completed with minimal stress or discomfort.

Beautiful facility for relaxing; with lots of restful art, cleanliness, and airy. Dentist offices tend to make me stressed anyway. It helps when the atmosphere is geared for relaxation. The staff is extremely friendly and listens to all of your concerns. Dr. McKnight is very thorough in his examination, listens to your concerns, and, in my opinion, is exceptionally qualified for any of my dental needs.

Dr. McKnight and his entire staff are the best of the best. He was my dentist for several years before, and I've returned to him again because he's simply the best. I moved my husband and daughter to him as well. Others may be a little cheaper, but I'll pay the tiny bit extra for the superior work I get from him, his hygenists, and his desk staff. No more hunting around for the closest dentist. It's McKnight or nobody for us.

Dr. McKnight was recommended to me by a close friend. I was not disappointed. I felt at ease from the minute I walked in the door and was greeted by Donna, the receptionist. Dr. McKnight explained in detail the initial dental consultation I am looking forward to getting my dental issues resolved. Update 12/02/21 After about two years (give or take) of Dr. McKnight and his staff getting my teeth in excellent condition, I can say that my dental work has been completed.
In the two years Dr. McKnight has completed the original course of my dental work and I could not be more pleased with the results. Thanking his staff and giving a five thumbs up to Dr. McKnight, Amy, Brooke and Donna. Update 0517/2022 Another Fantastic visit with Dr. McKnight, Brooke and Donna. Best Dentist office in Dallas and has D Magazine and the Mesquite Media saying the same. Thank you Dr. McKnight and Brooke for your personalized, excellent service and of course Donna for your attention to detail.
