We recognize that not all dentists are the same and we want our patients to be confident and happy because they chose us. Our goal is to educate our patients thoroughly to empower them to make confident dental decisions. We believe that real value in dentistry comes from dentistry that not only repairs, but prevents.
Dr. Adam Weltyprovides the latest dental techniques and technology which allows us to better diagnose, better treat (with less pain) and speed patient recovery. Our genuine commitment in both our dentistry and hygiene results in overall better health for our patients.
Our office is conveniently located in Galesburg, IL and we invite you to call with any questions or send us a message via theContact Us page of our web site. We will do everything possible to ensure you a pleasant visit.
Only the highest standards of care are acceptable at Sweetbriar Family Dentistry. We treat each of our patients individually.

Our goal is to empower our patients with dental health education to ensure that each patient leaves our office with the proper information and the encouragement to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile!
'As a dentist, I have the privilege to make a difference in a person 's life. Whether it 's improving their smile or treating their pain, it 's rewarding to know you have improved their quality of life.'
