Periodontal Disease Treatment
Our specialists provide comprehensive treatment for all stages of periodontal disease using evidence-based protocols. From non-surgical interventions like scaling and root planing to advanced surgical procedures, we employ the LANAP Protocol with PerioLase MVP-7 laser technology for minimally invasive care. Each treatment plan addresses individual patient needs while maintaining compatibility with ongoing general dental care.
Dental Implants
We offer precision dental implant solutions using leading systems like Astra, Straumann, and Nobel Biocare. Our specialists perform both traditional and immediate loading implant placements with 3D imaging guidance for optimal positioning. Treatment includes single tooth replacements, implant-supported dentures, and complex reconstructions while maintaining aesthetic and functional outcomes.
Sedation Dentistry
Our practice provides sedation options to ensure comfortable treatment experiences. Using general anesthesia and semi-conscious sedation techniques, we help patients manage dental anxiety while maintaining safety protocols. This service enables comprehensive periodontal care for patients who might otherwise avoid necessary treatments due to fear or sensitivity.
Cosmetic Procedures
We offer periodontal cosmetic treatments to improve smile aesthetics and gum health. Services include gum contouring, tissue grafting, and crown lengthening procedures performed with precision instrumentation. Our specialists use advanced techniques to address both functional and cosmetic concerns while maintaining long-term oral health.
Piezoelectric Bone Surgery
This advanced technique uses ultrasound technology for precise bone manipulation during surgical procedures. It allows selective cutting of hard tissue without affecting soft tissue structures, reducing trauma and complications. Applications include tooth extractions, sinus lifts, and flap surgeries while preserving surrounding anatomical structures.

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.
