Discover how Dr. Timpton and our team use advanced dental technology to help you achieve a healthier, more confident smile.

Intraoral Cameras

With intraoral cameras, Carmel Commons Dental can capture high-resolution, magnified images of your teeth. These images are displayed on a computer screen, allowing both you and Dr. Timpton to view and understand the condition of your teeth.

Benefits of Intraoral Cameras:

• Detect dental issues that might not be visible otherwise.
• Provide clear visuals for better patient understanding.
• Enable early diagnosis and timely treatment.

Laser Cavity Detection

Not all cavities are visible to the naked eye, but with our Diagnodent laser cavity detector, we can uncover hidden signs of tooth decay beneath the surface.

Why Laser Cavity Detection?

• Identifies hidden decay before it causes significant damage.
• Allows for proactive treatment to protect tooth structure.
• Provides precision and accuracy during diagnosis.

Laser Dentistry

Dr. Timpton, certified by the Academy of Laser Dentistry, is proud to offer state-of-the-art laser treatments. As the first dentist in Charlotte to offer full-service laser dentistry, we provide efficient, pain-free care for a variety of procedures.

Laser Dentistry Benefits:

• Gum surgery without bleeding or stitches.
• Fillings completed without the use of needles or drills.
• Minimizes discomfort, making dental visits stress-free.

Whether you need gum surgery, fillings, or other treatments, laser dentistry ensures a modern, comfortable experience.

Sedation Dentistry

For patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during dental procedures, we offer sedation dentistry.

Options Include:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): Mild sedation for relaxation.
• Oral or IV Sedation: Provides a deeper state of relaxation.
• General Anesthesia: Allows patients to sleep through the procedure.

With sedation dentistry, treatments can often be completed in a single visit. Contact Carmel Commons Dental to determine which option is best for you.

TMJ Treatment

Chronic pain in the face or jaw may indicate TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction, a condition that affects the joints and muscles in your jaw. Symptoms include pain, headaches, swelling, and popping sounds when chewing.

Dr. Timpton and our team specialize in non-surgical treatments to alleviate TMJ discomfort. We will identify the source of the pain and provide effective solutions to help you feel better.

Dental Bonding

If you’re looking for an affordable and effective way to improve your smile, dental bonding is an excellent option. This treatment addresses:

• Gaps between teeth.
• Broken or chipped teeth.
• Misshapen teeth.

How Dental Bonding Works:

A tooth-colored composite material is applied to the tooth's surface and sculpted to create a natural, polished appearance. It’s a cost-effective alternative to veneers, offering beautiful results at a fraction of the cost.
