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.

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.'

Yes we work with patients to make dental care affordable. Finances should not affect your dental health. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. We also work with Care Credit to arrange alternative financial arrangements.
Yes When it is in your best interest to see a specialist we will refer you. This includes oral surgeons (oral surgery), periodontists (gum specialists), orthodontists (tooth straightening), endodontists (root canals) and pedodontists (childrens dentistry).
Yes Denture teeth wear and so does the bone the denture fits on. Poorly fit or worn dentures can/may cause sleep apnea, stroke or even death. Yearly cancer screenings, exams of denture users are extremely important.
Yes we currently have digital x-rays These are easier to read than film. We also have the ability to manipulate contrast which makes diagnosis more accurate. We also use an intra-oral camera to help identify dental problems and help patients understand their dental needs. We use electric handpieces that are quieter and more comfortable than the traditional air driven handpieces. We also have a soft tissue laser that comfortably removes unhealthy tissue in the mouth.

Dr Welty and his staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome, comfortable, and unafraid. I even got a tour of the new addition. It's just gorgeous. I love going to a state of the art dentist office. Now my 95 yr old Mom is transferring to Dr Adam. Thank you SFD!!! You're the best!!!

My son had never been to a dentist and was very scared. No one forced him to do anything he didn't want to. The doctor was very accommodating to my son. When we left my son felt much better about going to the dentist again.

My son had to have a filling and was scared due to having the same procedure before. The whole staff was so patient and understanding. They also tried to be as quick as possible but also thorough.

I love the staff at Sweetbriar. They are sooo professional, but yet they make me feel like family. The second I walk in the door they greet me by my first name! I have always feared the dentist because of past experiences when I was young, but since I have been going to Sweetbriar it is an enjoyable, comfortable experience. I look forward to all my visits. Thank you all for making my life easier. My dentist is AMAZING & attentive, and holds a conversation with me before looking at my teeth. That always puts me at ease & I feel safe. His assistant Liddia is the best!!! God Bless you guys
