About Us

Dentistry Reimagined

At Smile Architects, we believe dental care should be more than a routine—it should be a transformative experience. We are redefining dentistry to be personalized, and genuinely enjoyable. Our philosophy centers on creating a welcoming environment where every patient feels informed, empowered, and cared for. We understand that no two smiles are the same, which is why we take the time to listen, educate, and design personalized treatment plans that suit your unique needs and goals.

With cutting-edge technology and state-of-the-art equipment, we’re committed to making every visit efficient, comfortable, and stress-free. Our focus is not just on perfecting smiles but on reimagining the entire dental experience—turning apprehension into trust, and appointments into opportunities for connection and care.

“Dentistry Reimagined” isn’t just a slogan; it’s our promise to you. Together, we’re building not only brighter smiles but also stronger relationships and a legacy of excellence in the communities we proudly serve.

Our History

This dental practice is deeply rooted in the historic community of Quincy, Massachusetts, with a proud legacy of delivering exceptional care. In 2018, Dr. Courtney Sanders Knapik acquired the practice, named it CSK Dental, and began transforming it with a vision that honored its rich history while embracing a forward-thinking approach to modern dentistry.

The evolution into Smile Architects came when Dr. Knapik joined forces with her longtime friend and trusted colleague, Dr. Mohammad Mourad. Since first meeting in 2013, their partnership has been shaped by years of shared experiences, mutual respect, and a deep passion for advancing the art and science of dentistry. Together, they bring a synergy of expertise and a unified commitment to patient-centered care.

In the spring of 2025, Smile Architects will open its doors at a new, thoughtfully designed location at 106 Franklin St in Quincy. This modern facility reflects the practice's ongoing commitment to innovation and excellence, featuring state-of-the-art technology and a calming atmosphere. This move represents an exciting new chapter as we continue to provide the highest standard of care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

Meet Dr. Courtney Sanders Knapik

Dr. Courtney Sanders Knapik, a proud Western Massachusetts native, grew up on her family’s alpaca farm, where she developed a deep sense of community and care for others. Initially aspiring to be a veterinarian, her path shifted during a high school orthodontic externship, sparking her passion for dentistry.

She graduated magna cum laude from Boston University’s Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, earning multiple awards for her excellence in crowns and veneers.

After gaining valuable experience as an associate dentist in Boston, Dr. Knapik embraced an opportunity to shape a practice built on personalized, patient-centered care in Quincy. Dr. Knapik is dedicated to providing the community with outstanding dentistry focused on comfort, trust, and education, transforming dental visits into positive experiences—often with a shared laugh.

An active member of the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and various study clubs, Dr. Knapik stays at the forefront of dentistry through extensive continuing education and mentoring dental students.

Outside the office, she enjoys Marvel movies, long walks with her dog Mini (and her pink carriage), and taking humorous photos of her rescue rabbit Charlie.

Meet Dr. Mohammad Mourad

Dr. Mourad comes from a family of ten dentists, making dentistry not just his profession but his legacy. A graduate of Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Mourad blends science, artistry, and compassion to deliver exceptional dental care.

With over a decade of experience, he enjoys all aspects of dentistry and digital smile design, using cutting-edge technologies like CEREC and Invisalign to achieve beautiful, long-lasting results. His innovative approach ensures every patient receives personalized and comprehensive care.

Beyond the dental chair, Dr. Mourad has mentored aspiring dentists as a clinical instructor and contributed to groundbreaking research in digital dentistry and orthodontics. His dedication has earned him numerous accolades, including the Quintessence Award for Research Achievement and the Geriatric Dental Medicine Award.
