Dr Knight is one of the best oral surgeons you will find anywhere. He is very proficient in providing implants. He installed three implants on my right side of my mouth in one dental session of about 45 minutes and I thought he had only finished one implant. I had him pull one of my lower teeth and I never felt any pain.

I have had 6 implants from him and never had any trouble with any of them. He is a true gentleman and everyone likes him which is important. His prices are quite reasonable and he gives a 10 per cent discount if you pay in full.

Dr. Knight has been my Periodontist for many years and he is the best DDS that I have ever seen. He listens, does outstanding work and is so kind and thoughtful, he makes everything better when everything seems scary. If I ever move out of state, I will fly back to go to him.

Dr Knight is fantastic! I would highly recommend him! He did my gum graft surgery and made the experience so much more comfortable. He was knowledgable and skilled at explaining the process and was willing to take my questions as they came up. I am now a couple years post graft and have had no problems at all! Im so happy I chose Dr Knight!
