Our Knoxville, TN, Dental Services
Patients choose our Knoxville dental office because we offer a full range of dental services designed to address complex concerns related to the health of their gums:
- Routine Cleanings and Exams: Regular checkups and dental cleanings keep your teeth and gums healthy.
- Gum Disease Treatment: We use LANAP laser therapy to treat gum disease gently and effectively.
- Dental Implants: Whether you need one tooth replaced or several, we use 3D imaging to plan your implant treatment with precision.
- Bone Grafting: If you don’t have enough bone for an implant, bone grafting can create a strong foundation for your new tooth.
- Cosmetic Gum Procedures: We can also improve the way your smile looks, including your gumline.
Advanced Dental Technology for Better Outcomes
We believe that better technology leads to better results. At East Tennessee Periodontics, we invest in modern tools to make your care more comfortable, precise, and effective.
First in Tennessee to Offer Itero Digital Impressions
We were the first practice in Tennessee to offer Itero Digital Impressions. This technology eliminates the need for messy, goopy putty. A small, comfortable scanner captures detailed images of your teeth and gums. The process is quick, accurate, and much more pleasant.
Advanced 3D Digital Radiography
We use advanced 3D imaging to get a complete picture of your oral health. This technology allows us to plan treatments with greater precision, especially for dental implants and complex surgical procedures.
Laser Dentistry
We use dental lasers for a wide range of treatments, including LANAP for gum disease and Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation™ for receding gums. Laser technology allows us to provide gentler, more precise care with less discomfort and faster recovery.
Completely Digital Dental Records
Our office is completely digital. This means more efficient care, better communication, and a smoother experience for you.
