We utilize advanced techniques and technology to ensure a comfortable experience and optimal results. With our expertise and commitment to your oral well-being, we strive to provide effective periodontal care that helps you maintain a healthy smile for life.
Periodontal Treatment And Maintenance (Cleanings)
Cleaning periodontal diseases, or scaling and root planing, has many benefits, from simple cavity removal to preventing tooth loss. Some of the most essential benefits are:
- Elimination of Plaque and Tartar: Scaling and root planing effectively remove plaque and tartar from below the gum line, reducing the risk of gum disease and promoting overall oral health.
- Reduction of Gum Inflammation: The procedure helps reduce gum inflammation, relieves discomfort, and prevents further damage to the gum tissues.
- Prevention of Tooth Loss: By addressing gum disease and promoting gum health, scaling, and root planing can help prevent tooth loss and preserve the natural teeth.
- Improvement in Oral Hygiene: Scaling and root planing create a clean and healthy oral environment, making it easier to maintain proper oral hygiene and prevent future dental problems.
- Enhancement of Overall Health: Gum disease has been linked to various systemic health issues. By treating gum disease through scaling and root planing, individuals can potentially reduce the risk of developing or exacerbating other health conditions.

We have been with Winnisquam Dental since we moved to the area in 2004 and the experience has always been fantastic experience overall. The front desk and support staff are incredibly helpful, making scheduling and check-in a breeze with their efficient and warm approach. The dentists are friendly and understanding, taking the time to explain everything without rushing. A special shoutout to our hygienist Kate—she has turned what used to be an anxiety-ridden chore for us into a comfortable and even enjoyable cleaning session with her gentle technique and reassuring demeanor. Highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking quality dental care!
- Ed Rochensk
Been with hygienist for many years. She knew I was having an operation that might preclude me from having cleaning up to six months. She called, stayed past her normal time to leave , and cleaned my teeth in case there would be a gap in my normal schedule. Above and beyond and very much appreciated.
- Lee Murphy
Staff is very friendly. Hygienist was super informative & very gentle doing the cleaning. The Dr. reviewed my file & preformed a general exam of the mouth & lymph nodes. I feel very comfortable with their care. Also enjoyed the wild life, raccoons, that made an appearance! Fun!
- Betsy Glidden
Dr. Knighton and the entire team at Winnisquam Dental are great! I have always had anxiety built around going to the dentist, but they make everything as painless as possible and explain exactly what your dental plan looks like. We are lucky to have such a great group here in the Lakes Region!

We have been with Winnisquam Dental since 2004 and have been very pleased with the practice. We have always been warmly welcomed in a clean environment. We’ve seen many of the dental hygienists and have recommended them to others. We’ve had great experiences with both Dr. Kris and Dr. Blackwelder, they have worked together with us to come up with treatment plans. Communication has been top notch!

Great place for Children or Anyone!
- Jennifer Karl
From the minute we walked in the door it was a warm and welcoming visit. We started our appt on time, and Kris came out and introduced herself to both myself and my son. I’ve never seen that in my many visits to a dentist! She was very kind and thorough with any thing she discussed or even did during my sons exam. He was a little timid about going but she had him laughing the whole time! We are lucky to have found such a comfortable environment!

The folks at Winnisquam Dental are so friendly, professional, and dedicated to what they do! Kate has been cleaning our teeth for years & we just adore her! Both of the Dr.'s have taken care of all of us at one time or another, and they are always wonderful, keeping the experience as pain free & speedy as possible. Mike, at the front desk, is so helpful & kind, and always has a smile on his face! We are lifetime patients for sure!
