Oral Cancer Screening

Teeth Cleaning
The great news is that gum disease is preventable—and curable at an early stage! Just be sure to brush and floss your teeth and have regular professional teeth cleanings and checkups. If you do require care for gum disease, we’re the team to trust. We provide multiple treatments for gum disease in Palm Harbor, FL, depending on the severity of your case and the stage of gum disease you’re in. We’ll begin with a consultation that includes an oral examination.
Fluoride Treatment
Our doctors have the expertise to maintain the health of your smile and the smiles of your little ones. Bring your children to a dentist that you already know and trust! You can feel confident that your child is receiving the same high quality, gentle dental care that you are. We offer sealants, fluoride treatments, athletic mouth guards, oral care education, and more.
Dental Sealants

Fillings
Resin Composite
Dental bonding can make cracked teeth look like new. A common cosmetic procedure, bonding involves placing a composite resin, a tooth-colored material much like that used for dental fillings, onto a chipped or cracked tooth, concealing the visible flaws. As with inlays, onlays, and crowns, the bonding material can be chosen to match the color of the adjacent teeth for a harmonious appearance.
Veneers
Porcelain veneers treatment is a highly personalized and detailed process at our Palm Harbor, FL practice. To provide the greatest aesthetics, veneers must both hide problem teeth and provide the appearance of a new smile that looks and feels completely natural. During your first appointment, our cosmetic dentist will remove a few millimeters of the front surface of your tooth enamel. This ensures that your custom dental veneers fit naturally and comfortably over your existing teeth. Next, we’ll take impressions of your modified teeth, which will be used to hand-design your veneers to the most ideal size, shape, and color for a beautiful new smile.
Crowns
Cavity fillings reinforce your teeth, making them strong enough to withstand normal biting pressure after decay or trauma has weakened the tooth. If tooth decay or a cavity is present, we’ll clear it out thoroughly before placing filling material into the empty space and resealing the crown. This will fortify the tooth and preserve your oral health. Fillings come in a variety of materials. We recommend composite fillings in Palm Harbor, FL to restore your dental aesthetics, because they’re tooth-colored and don’t show through the enamel.
Bridges
If you’re experiencing functional problems with your tooth, or you’ve lost one or had it extracted, it may be uncomfortable to complete everyday activities like eating or even speaking. Damaged or decayed teeth often cause sensitivity and pain. Chips or cracks can make even the most confident person feel self-conscious. When a tooth is damaged, that doesn’t mean it needs to be extracted. If the tooth’s roots and interior are still healthy then the tooth is worth saving. We just may need to give it a new exterior. If you’ve got chipped teeth, cracked teeth, or broken teeth, we can make your smile whole and fully functional again with dental bridges and dental crowns in Palm Harbor, FL.
Dental Bonding
Restorative Dentistry
If treatment like root canals, gum disease treatment, and restorative dentistry are ineffective, damaged, infected, and failing teeth, should be removed to protect your dental health and even systemic health. Unless they’re wisdom teeth or extra teeth that are causing overcrowding in your mouth, most teeth should be replaced after removal. Apart from the ways tooth loss can decrease your quality of life, it can also trigger a sort of “domino effect” in your health. Without natural tooth roots stimulating healthy bone growth, your bone will begin to deteriorate beneath the empty tooth socket. This will spread and can even lead to additional tooth loss in adjacent teeth. Replacing your tooth before extensive bone loss can occur will help prevent unnecessary additional harm as well as the need for bone grafting procedures. If your bone is stable enough or has received bone reconstructive treatment, you’ll have the option between dental bridges, dentures, and dental implants for your new, complete smile.

Root Canal Treatment
Difficulty eating certain foods. The fear that the tooth may begin to fall apart. The embarrassment that a visibly damaged or cracked tooth can cause. Even when not accompanied by much pain, chipped, broken, and cracked teeth create their share of problems. Those immediate concerns are just the beginning. If a tooth is broken open, bacteria can easily get inside it and cause a painful infection that may require advanced treatment like root canals if not addressed. Our team at Knellinger Dental Excellence can make a tooth strong and whole again with proven treatment for damaged and cracked teeth in Palm Harbor, FL.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
A beautiful smile requires healthy teeth, gums, and bone. That is why Dr. Dan Knellinger, Dr. Stacey Verkler, and Dr. Carol Bou-Sliman offer the periodontal treatments you need to maintain gum health. Your gums provide a barrier to decay and bacteria. In addition, when the contours of your gums are balanced, they enhance the appearance of your smile. We offer services to keep your gums looking and feeling their best, from scaling and root planing to gingivectomy procedures.
Deep Cleaning
Once gum disease has been comprehensively treated, periodontal maintenance is recommended to ensure it does not return. This procedure is completed every 3-4 months and involves a deep cleaning of the teeth at and below the gumline to remove bacteria and plaque accumulation. These deep cleanings will replace your regularly scheduled hygiene appointments.

Dentures
Loss of permanent teeth is an unfortunate occurrence for any individual, though it may have been the most appropriate course of treatment to preserve oral and overall health. Regardless of the reasons for tooth loss, adults who are missing teeth suffer in a number of ways, especially if the absence of teeth becomes prolonged. Fortunately, a number of options exist to address the incidence of tooth loss, even when replacing a full arch of missing teeth is required. In such cases, Dr. Dan Knellinger, Dr. Stacey Verkler and Dr. Carol Bou-Sliman may recommend options involving the placement of dentures in Palm Harbor, FL.

Dental Implants
When people are looking for a reliable and permanent way to replace their damaged or missing teeth, then they should look no further than implant Read More »

Orthodontics
Many with misaligned or crooked teeth seek out orthodontic solutions but are wary to commit to the time frame. Instead of years, we allow our patients to imagine their new, healthy and straight smile in just days using Fastbraces ® treatment. This modern orthodontics technique uses a patented bracket system that revolutionizes the process of straightening teeth. In many cases, patients are able to see their final results in the half the time as traditional orthodontics or in as little as 120 days! Less treatment time means fewer visits to the dentist, less money spent on care overall and less time waiting to flaunt your new smile.
Invisalign Orthodontics
Our doctors are Invisalign® dentists who can provide you with Invisalign® clear aligners to make your treatment more comfortable and enjoyable. Each aligner is worn for two weeks, representing another step in your overall treatment to correct your bite.
Braces
Traditional metal braces have been used to straighten crooked teeth for many years and produce reliably positive results. They work via metal brackets and wires that are fixed in your mouth for the duration of treatment and gradually shift your teeth into a more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing position. While many patients associate metal braces with adolescents, a growing number of adults are beginning to see their advantages as well.
