Learn more about the advanced technology available for use by Dr. Timpton and the team at Carmel Commons Dental in Charlotte, NC. Our technology can help you achieve the look and health you want for your teeth and can often be completed in as little as one trip to our office.

Intraoral Cameras

At Carmel Commons Dental, we get an up-close look at your teeth by using intraoral cameras that are tiny and can be inserted in your mouth to capture images of your teeth.


These aren’t just any images; they are magnified digital photos. These images will then be displayed on a computer screen so both Dr. Timpton and you can view them and see what’s happening with your teeth. Intraoral cameras help Carmel Commons Dental diagnose dental problems that otherwise wouldn’t be discovered.

Laser Cavity Detector 


It’s true that some cavities are easier to spot than others. In fact, certain signs of cavities may be hiding beneath the hard surfaces of your teeth. The way to find these hidden cavities is with a laser cavity detector. Carmel Commons Dental uses a Diagnodent laser cavity detector machine to find signs of tooth decay hidden beneath the hard surfaces of your teeth. Once our dentists spot hidden decay, they can work on stopping the spread of disease before it begins to harm the structure of the tooth.

Laser Dentistry

Dr. Timpton is certified in laser dentistry by the Academy of Laser Dentistry. This advanced technology has helped to change the way patients experience treatment at dental offices such as Carmel Commons Dental. The use of laser dentistry allows dentists like Dr. Timpton to offer treatment in an efficient, pain-free fashion. In fact, Dr. Timpton is the first dentist in the Charlotte, NC area to offer full-service laser dentistry for patients.


State-of-the-art laser dentistry allows for gum surgery to be completed without bleeding or stitches. It also allows for fillings to be completed without the use of needles. Those who are terrified of the dental drill will have no need to fear with laser dentistry from Carmel Commons Dental.

Sedation Dentistry

Not all patients respond the same way to having to undergo treatment at the dentist. That’s why we at Carmel Commons Dental offer sedation dentistry to help put uneasy patients at ease during their visit for treatment. Dr. Timpton and the team at Carmel Commons Dental offer a few different options for sedation dentistry. Typically, sedation will be offered as gas or a general anesthetic that will numb areas where work is being done or help patients fall asleep and stay under while work is being done. We also offer IV sedation through the placement of an IV and medication to put patients into a deep state of relaxation.


In some sedation dentistry procedures, patients will be fully awake, but feel nothing as treatment is completed. In others, patients will sleep through the treatment and wake up with little to no memory of work being done. Treatments done under sedation dentistry can be completed in as little as one office visit.


Contact Carmel Commons Dental to learn more about our sedation dentistry procedures and whether or not you are a good candidate for this work in our office.

TMJ Treatment

One of the more painful dental problems that can happen to people has little to do with their actual teeth. Chronic pain in the face and jaw is often due to a dental issue called TMJ. This painful condition is a dysfunction of your jaw. A source of pain in your jaw will start to hurt the joints and muscles in your jaw, causing pain, headaches, swelling, and popping sounds in your jaw when chewing.


Dr. Timpton and Carmel Commons Dental can treat TMJ through non-surgical methods. We can locate the source of the pain and effectively eliminate it to help you feel better. If you are suffering from discomfort that might be TMJ, call Carmel Commons Dental and ask our experts for help.

Dental Bonding

At Carmel Commons Dental, dental bonding can be done to fill in gaps between teeth, as well as repair broken or chipped teeth and enhance misshapen teeth. For those who may not be able to afford the expense of a veneer treatment, dental bonding may be an appealing option.


How dental bonding works is that a tooth-colored composite will be applied to the front of your teeth and sculpted to produce a great new look. You can trust Dr. Timpton and the experts at Carmel Commons Dental to handle the dental bonding process for you. Dental bonding can improve your smile at a more affordable price than the use of veneers. Call us today to learn more about this and other advanced services.
