Dr Knause uses Cerec same day crown technology. In most cases, patients leave on the same day with their permanent crown. No more temporary crowns. Digital scans of the teeth and bite replace the goopy impressions with much better accuracy. Our crowns are high strength, metal free restorations.

Dr Knause applies ozone in several different ways, depending on the need. Ozone is a special type of oxygen gas that has been used for sanitation purposes for many years. It works wonders in dentistry!

Dr Knause now offers his own Dr K Clear Aligners. These are made in office. Dr Knause has extensive training in orthodontics. Dr. K Clear Aligners provides personal, customized care that takes out the middle man. We scan you right in the office. No goopy impressions. No more waiting on laboratories.

With the Solea laser, Dr Knause is able to offer FAST and less invasive tongue tie and lip tie procedures for patients from newborns to adults. These procedures are necessary to improve function and remove restrictions.

One of the worst pains is a toothache! We see emergency patients and are able to quickly and efficiently get you out of pain all while being able to help you keep teeth that may have a lot of damage, decay, or trauma.

All of the restorations that we offer have been selected based not only on their strength, longevity, and aesthetics (they look amazing), but also based on the safety for your body. Dr Knause only uses top of the line biocompatible materials.

Southern Laser Dentistry offers many options to keep teeth clean, healthy, and white. Some patients want fluoride, some do not. We have fluoride and also substitute fluoride with ozone for those who choose no fluoride.

Dr Knause has extensive experience and training in orthodontics. For the early stages of orthodontic treatment, Dr Knause will place expanders or utilize the Healthy Start program. These treatments can sometimes lessen or even eliminate the need for braces in some cases.

No one likes to lose teeth, but it happens. Good thing for our patients, Dr Knause has the Solea laser to make extractions SO much better. With laser assistance, the process of pulling teeth is so much easier on the patients and a lot faster to heal. Ozone is also used during the extraction to kill germs and prevent dry socket.

Chipped, worn, discolored teeth are no problem for Dr Knause. With so many characterization options offered in office, Dr Knause is able to perfectly match bonding or veneers to your natural tooth color OR create a brighter, whiter color of your choosing! Dont spend any more time being worried about having your picture taken. Get the smile you have always wanted in a one stop shop here at Southern Laser Dentistry.

Using the Solea laser and/or ozone on ulcers reduces pain and speeds up the healing process. We also have homeopathic products available in office that are specifically for healing, pain, and swelling.

Ozone is a special type of gas that has been used for sterilization purposes for many years. It is an excited, activated form of oxygen. Each molecule of ozone has three oxygen atoms in it. It wants to become more stable, so it is eager to kick off that third molecule. When it does so, it begins a chemical reaction that is deadly to bacteria but harmless to human tissue.

Many cities use ozone to sterilize their municipal water supplies, and lots of food companies use it to sterilize fruits, vegetables, and bottled drinks. Its application in dentistry is not new, but only a handful of dentists have decided to invest in this safe, effective therapy.

During ozone therapy, we stop decay in its tracks by exposing a tooth to ozone gas. The ozone kills existing bacteria and even alters the environment so the bacteria cannot quickly return to cause further damage. It also prompts an accelerated remineralization process within the tooth (it helps to rebuild lost tooth enamel). It can thereby prevent the need for further dental treatment, such as fillings or more extensive procedures.

We can use ozone therapy to treat minor to medium tooth decay. Ozone is used for every filling and crown in our office - the prepared tooth receives ozone right before the filling or crown is placed to ensure the most sterile environment possible.

Ozone can also be used to treat periodontal (gum and tooth-supporting bone) disease. It is particularly effective at reaching and killing bacteria that live deep below the gum line causing inflammation and destruction.

Southern Laser Dentistry is pleased to offer the best biocompatible, holistic options for our patients. We offer holistic options in all of our procedures. All operatory procedures include ozone. Please scroll down to see what we offer.

Why all-ceramic material? The answer is easy: Tooth restorations made of all-ceramics do not contain metal. Therefore, light can shine through them as it does through natural teeth. All-ceramic materials stand out for their

Tooth fillings If a tooth is only partially damaged due to e.g. caries, a filling or so-called inlay is usually sufficient to fix it. An all ceramic inlay is a resistant ceramic filling which is used for smaller defects or decay. Dark fillings made of amalgam are a thing of the past. All-ceramic inlays cannot be distinguished from the natural tooth structure

The KR Whitening System works by restoring your teeth youthful ability to absorb oxygen. The oxygen from the whitening gel is absorbed deeply into the tooth, dissolving and removing stain molecules. Whitening products have been clinically studied for more than three decades and safely used on millions of patients without harm to teeth or gums. KR Whitening is considered entirely safe.

Our bodies produce 100 times more hydrogen peroxide than you would place in a bleaching tray so using hydrogen peroxide for teeth whitening is a safe method. Should whitening gel escape the trays, the catalase which is an enzyme we produce, will destroy the perhydroxyl and hydroxyl radicals that peroxide breaks into.

My 22-year old daughter has severe anxiety. She recently needed fillings for the first time in her life and was very scared. The staff here was wonderfully caring, from the first person I spoke with on the phone, to the assistants, hygienists and the doctor. They explained everything, and everyone was patient and kind with her. She was able to get her first fillings with no drama, and no pain (they used a laser and she didn't even need novacaine). We are very appreciative.

I went to them via a recommendation for amalgam removal. The hygienist was lovey, she just started there. But then the doctor came in with a lady and they didn't go over my X-rays with me but the doctor just kept telling me that I have a lot of cavities and that it's common for mothers ( I have a 2 and 4 yr old) to get tooth decay. Then the manager lady just kinda shouted out "I'll break it to her! You have 11 cavities" I was disgusted. It was such an surreal experience, the doctor does not have good bedside manner. They continued to tell me to split it up and schedule it out, the total will be $3,000. I wasn't even going for cavities, I had no issues. So low and behold I just got a second opinion at Palmer Distinctive Dentistry, they were amazing and I have no cavities to fill! Just 1 decay that isn't bad enough to fill. He even looked at the same X-rays that they used. These people are crooks, it makes me so upset that their are people out there that can try to swindle your hard earned money! And they are not natural, they may use ozone but they send you home with flouride toothpaste! Absolutely absurd! BEWARE!

My small child got a severe case of gingivitis after visiting this place. She never gets sick but after 2-3 days of her appointment she had a fever and absolutely horrendously swollen and bleeding gums for weeks - something you'd see in old people who haven't taken care of their teeth all their life. It's been over 3 months and it's still hasn't completely cleared up. Her gums are at least a little red and inflammed all the time. Getting a little better or worse. We deal with it continuesly. She couldn't get it anywhere else as she mostly stays at home and doesn't go to school.

After having years of dental anxiety and avoiding the dentist at all costs, I knew I needed to get back and find one that aligned with my values of a holistic lifestyle. After doing a lot of research, we tried Southern Laser Dentistry. After going for a cleaning, I needed to have 4 cavities filled. I expressed my nerves and anxiety to the staff and the kindness, understanding and grace that I received was overwhelming. They accommodated all of my concerns to make sure I had the most comfortable experience. I am so grateful to have them in the upstate! The entire staff including Dr Knause are just wonderful!

Major billing issue hassle ! I found Southern Laser Dentistry through a FB group. My family is new to the area and I was looking for a new dentist for my husband and son. I took my son in for a cleaning like I did in NY. He gets a cleaning every 6 months. I was shocked to learn that he suddenly had 4 cavities. Especially since at his last cleaning in NY nothing was mentioned. I thought " ok he developed 4 cavities in 6 months it's weird but I guess it can happen.. I was given a treatment plan and signed off on it. After the work was done I almost fell over when I was presented with a $1200 bill. I have to admit that I freaked out. After working with the office manager she admitted there was an error and told me that I would have a $ 70 dollar credit. I said thanks but no thanks because we won't be coming back. I thought the situation was handled. Then I received another bill for $120 dollars. This is after I paid and my insurance paid more than the amount set in the treatment plan. Unfortunately,I don't trust this office. I would say be very careful! Watch billing and maybe get a second opinion before having work done. In addition ,the office has a very unpleasant odor that is overwhelming.

Dr Knause installed a crown. I had never had one installed before. The work was completed in one visit and I went home with no pain only slight discomfort that went away by the next day. Eating was a bit sensitive on that side for about 10 days and now I don't even know it's there at all. My experience was excellent. Dr Knause was kind, compassionate and an excellent dentist. I drive over an hour and a half just to come where the care is superior. Highly recommended.

We love Southern Laser Dentistry! I brought my, 9 year old, daughter in yesterday on a recommendation from a friend. I was hoping it would be worth the 2.5 hr drive for us and it was beyond worth it! Everyone was knowledgeable about diet, brushing technique and tools, as well as true pediatric/adult differences. So thankful to find an office educated in the wholistic picture for each patient. We felt right at home with wonderful and friendly front desk staff from the moment we walked in the door. Made our next appointment already!
