Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal addresses impacted molars that cause pain, infection, or dental issues. Our surgeons use advanced imaging and sedation options to ensure precise, comfortable extractions. Early intervention prevents complications like gum disease and tooth decay, promoting long-term oral health.
Dental Implants
Dental implants provide stable, permanent solutions for missing teeth. Using titanium posts and cutting-edge techniques like guided surgery, we restore function and aesthetics. Implants integrate with bone tissue, offering durability and natural-looking results that enhance confidence and oral function.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery realigns misaligned jaws to improve bite, speech, and facial symmetry. Pre- and post-surgical orthodontics ensure optimal outcomes. Virtual surgical planning enhances precision, reducing recovery time and achieving lasting improvements in both function and appearance.
Sleep Apnea Solutions
We offer surgical and non-surgical treatments for obstructive sleep apnea. Procedures like palate surgery or jaw repositioning address airway obstructions. Custom oral appliances and CPAP therapy provide alternatives, ensuring restful sleep and reducing health risks associated with untreated apnea.
Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment
Comprehensive care for cleft lip and palate includes surgical reconstruction and multidisciplinary coordination. Early interventions restore function and aesthetics, while ongoing support addresses speech, dental, and ear health. Our teams expertise ensures holistic, compassionate care for pediatric and adult patients.

I've been a patient of Dr Thoman's for several years. Always friendly and professional. Staff members exceed expectations every time I'm there. I would recommend them to anyone needing this type of service.

Excellent care. Dr Kofford saw my 12 year old son to expose an impacted canine as part of his orthodontic treatment. He took his time to explain everything and answer any question, he made us and my son feel like he was the only patient in the clinic even though I'm sure he was busy with several other patients. He has a great personality and demeanor which put my son at ease. Could not be more pleased with the treatment, will definitely be going back for any future oral surgery treatment needs for my other kids.

I could not recommend this place more. I had been having problems with a tooth for several days and was able to see my regular dentist first thing Monday morning. When they were unable to take care of the problem they referred me to Drs. Thoman and Kofford. My dentist office called them for me to schedule an appointment and they got me in within 2 hours. Everyone was so caring and compassionate knowing I was in pain.
I saw Dr. Kofford who explained everything thoroughly to me, gave me time to make a decision on what to do and by early afternoon had removed the offending tooth right then and there. Dr. Kofford called later that evening to follow up, Fabulous service all the way around. Thank you all so much!

Our experience in Dr. Thoman's office was wonderful. The staff was great. Every piece of the procedure was well explained so that you clearly know what to expect.

The BEST! Dr. Thoman and staff were incredible. I had a procedure for wisdom teeth extractions. Make sure to get a consultation closer to your appointment date of surgery to make things easier on both ends. They get your script right away and that way you can make sure to have any antibiotics started 1 hour before surgery with any pain pills like Aleve. I went under(anesthesia) which again the staff was great and Dr Thoman incredible.
Read the after instructions to know a lot of things are normal after surgery like using gauze for bleeding gums is normal. The best part is no one(family, public, etc.) noticed any swelling facially and no pain during, right after, or even 24 hours later. Highly recommend!

I was incredibly impressed with the time Dr. Kofford took to talk with us before surgery. My daughters had lots of questions and concerns and the Doctor answered every one of them with honesty and patience. He never seemed rushed but was very understanding of each of their worries and was so kind. We felt like he was very friendly and my daughters were put at ease once they had a full explanation as to what will happen on surgery day. As a parent, I feel very confident allowing him to remove my daughters' wisdom teeth.

I recently had a root from a root canal removed and was extremely nervous about it. Dr. Kofford made me feel at ease and played music I enjoy. I was impressed at the fallow up call I received from Dr. Kofford later that same day. Thank you for your professional care.
