Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. They provide a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering a natural look and feel. This solution prevents bone loss, preserves facial structure, and allows for comfortable eating and speaking. Ideal for patients seeking a permanent, durable alternative to traditional prosthetics.
Same-Day Crowns
Same-day crowns use CEREC technology to design, fabricate, and place custom dental crowns in a single visit. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments. The process involves digital imaging, precision milling, and immediate placement, ensuring a perfect fit and natural appearance. Patients benefit from time savings and reduced discomfort.
Laser Dentistry
Laser dentistry employs advanced light technology for precise, minimally invasive procedures. It treats gum disease, reshapes tissue, and prepares teeth for fillings with reduced bleeding and faster healing. Patients experience less pain and fewer side effects, often eliminating the need for anesthesia. This technique is ideal for anxious patients and those seeking gentle care.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses temporomandibular joint disorders causing pain, clicking, or limited jaw movement. Custom oral appliances, physical therapy, and bite adjustments alleviate symptoms like headaches and jaw stiffness. Treatment focuses on restoring harmony between teeth, muscles, and joints, improving comfort during daily activities like chewing and speaking.
Oral Cancer Screening
Oral cancer screening uses VELscope technology to detect abnormal tissue changes invisible to the naked eye. Early identification of pre-cancerous or cancerous lesions significantly improves treatment outcomes. This non-invasive exam is part of routine checkups, emphasizing prevention and proactive health management for all patients.

I had a very positive experience as a new patient. Everyone in the office was kind and helpful from the hygienists to the receptionist to Dr. Wyatt. All of my questions were answered thoroughly and I received the care I needed. Ive been to quite a few different practices throughout the years and Longmont Dental is at the top.

We have been patients of Dr. Knechtels for many years, and I cant say enough about the exceptional care we have always received. Dr. Knechtel and his entire team genuinely care about their patients, and it shows in every visit. One thing I especially appreciate is that when you call the office, a kind, friendly receptionist answers the phone. In a world where so much has become automated, that personal touch means more than ever.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting the new hygienist, and she was absolutely wonderful. She was gentle, thorough, and made me feel completely at ease while taking such great care of my teeth. Its rare to find a dental practice where everyone treats you like family, but thats exactly what youll find here. We are so grateful for Dr. Knechtel and his amazing team, and we wouldnt trust our dental care to anyone else. Thank you for everything you do!

Dr. Knechtels office was able to fit me in during an emergency even though I was not an existing patient. They were kind and considerate during my extraction and with aftercare instructions. I also appreciate that the pricing is reasonable
