Expert Care for Complex Needs
Surgical Dentistry near Sammamish, Bellevue & Redmond
We understand that hearing the word "surgery" in relation to your child can be anxiety-inducing. However, in pediatric dentistry, surgical procedures are often necessary to relieve pain, prevent infection, or correct developmental issues that affect feeding and speech.
At Nurture Kids Dentistry, Dr. Ketan Jumani performs these procedures with the highest level of precision and compassion. Using advanced technology and effective sedation options, we ensure your child remains safe, comfortable, and often unaware that the procedure is even happening.
Making Room for Healthy Smiles
Tooth Extractions
While our primary goal is always to save natural teeth, sometimes removing a tooth is the healthiest choice. This might be due to severe decay, dental trauma, or orthodontic reasons (crowding).
Dr. Jumani uses gentle techniques to remove the tooth quickly, often preserving the bone for future development.
Releasing Potential
Lip & Tongue Tie Surgery (Frenectomy)
A "tongue tie" or "lip tie" occurs when the tissue connecting the tongue or lip to the mouth is too tight, restricting movement. This can cause difficulties with breastfeeding in infants and speech issues in older children.
We use state-of-the-art Laser Technology to release these ties. The procedure takes only minutes, causes virtually no bleeding, and requires no sutures.
