At Family Practice Dentistry, Dr. Kevin Welch and his skilled team provide expert oral surgery services for patients of all ages. Whether you require a simple tooth extraction or more advanced procedures like wisdom tooth removal or laser gum treatment, we focus on precision, comfort, and the healthiest outcomes. We're proud to treat our patients like family and offer same-day appointments to our Kokomo community, to ensure timely care when our patients need it most.
Our selection of surgical procedures at Family Practice Dentistry includes:
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes a tooth may be damaged, decayed, or compromised beyond repair. In these cases, tooth extraction can relieve pain and prevent further oral health issues. Dr. Welch uses gentle techniques to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth can cause crowding, pain, and infection if they don’t have enough space to emerge properly. Our team evaluates the position of your wisdom teeth and provides safe, effective removal when necessary. With careful planning and post-operative care, we help you maintain a healthy, comfortable smile.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure to release a tight or restrictive frenum, the tissue connecting the tongue or lips to the mouth. This can improve oral function, assist with orthodontic treatment, and enhance speech or eating comfort.
Laser Gum Treatment
Laser technology allows us to perform precise, minimally invasive gum procedures. Laser gum treatment can address periodontal concerns, remove diseased tissue, help shape and contour the gums, and promote healing while reducing discomfort and recovery time.
Root Canal Therapy
At Family Practice Dentistry, we offer root canal therapy to address infected or damaged tooth pulp. Dr. Welch provides thorough root canal treatment to relieve pain, save natural teeth, and prevent further complications from occurring.
Oral Conscious Sedation for Oral Surgery
For patients who experience anxiety or discomfort during oral surgery, we offer oral conscious sedation. This involves taking a prescribed oral medication before your procedure to help you feel relaxed and calm. You remain conscious and able to respond to instructions, but many patients experience little or no memory of the treatment afterward. Oral conscious sedation is particularly helpful for longer or more complex procedures, making your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
