At Pikes Peak Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, we are proud to provide oral surgical services to patients of all ages, including young children and teens. Our goal is to focus on the needs of each child and provide every young patient with a comfortable and pleasant experience. It is not uncommon for patients of any age to be nervous or anxious before a surgical procedure, and our practice offers a variety of safe and effective anesthetic options to address your child’s needs. As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Kunkel has received specialty training in the administration of anesthesia and surgical monitoring, making him highly qualified to utilize the safest and most effective sedative option for your child. Anesthetic techniques utilized may include nitrous oxide (or laughing gas), oral sedative medications, IV sedation, general anesthesia, or a combination of these. Whether your child requires a simple or a more complex procedure, you can rest assured knowing that your child’s safety and comfort throughout the procedure is our office’s top priority.

We offer a wide variety of pediatric treatments and procedures in our office, including the removal of extra or supernumerary teeth, lingual frenectomy procedures for tongue tie, the treatment of cleft lip or palate conditions, and much more. One of the most common pediatric procedures performed at Pikes Peak Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center is the exposure of impacted canines. The canine tooth plays a critical role in the dental arch and is extremely important to developing a proper bite. Because they are usually the one of the last teeth to come into the mouth, it is essential to ensure that they have adequate space to develop and grow. Exposure and bonding is one of the most effective treatments for impacted teeth. This procedure creates room in the mouth for the impacted tooth to grow and pulls the impacted tooth into proper alignment.

The special care of pediatric patients has long been a hallmark of Pikes Peak Oral Surgery & Dental Implant Center, and continues to be a significant component of the practice. Our entire team provides a child-centered environment and care that focuses on total health and prevention. We work hard to always provide the attention, time, and compassion that your child deserves.

My name’s Jim. I live here in Colorado Springs. Well, I was running out of chewing surfaces and needed some help so I could eat. When you want things done to your mouth, you need a perfectionist doing that, and Dr. K did that for me. I have seven implants, and they feel like real teeth, they work like a real teeth, and all my chewing issues are gone. It’s kind of a modern miracle. Dr. Kunkel and his staff are — I don’t think they could be any better. Life is good.

Hi. I’m Ginny. I’m from Colorado Springs. Dr. Kunkel and I hit it off very well. He is so fastidious. He measures things completely; he explains it to you, and he’ll go into the depth if you want to know what he’s doing, you just ask him. I like that. It makes me feel that I know what’s happening to me. When I came in for the surgery one morning and it was done, and I had assumed it would be very painful, and it took all of two pain pills, and that was it. I have two new molars, and I’m fine. A friend called the other day, and they want to do one on her, and she’s back east, and she’s heard all the horror stories, and I told her I thought it was great; she should come out here.

My name’s Elizabeth; I live here in Colorado Springs. Pikes Peak Oral Surgery was recommended to me by my dentist, Dr. Robert Levens, and it’s the best thing that I could have ever done. I was nervous initially coming in, I think anybody is. All of the procedures went smoothly, without a hitch. The staff here at Dr. Kunkel’s are absolutely wonderful. I feel like I have my own parking spot, like I’m part of the family. They’ve come back to hold my hands because I was nervous during procedures. They’re always happy to see me, and it’s very comforting. Dr. Kunkel is amazing. He is brilliant, and I was very comfortable having him take care of me. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kunkel to anyone. Now that I’ve had all the work done, it’s absolutely amazing. I feel like I have a functional mouth; it’s pain-free. I can eat what I want. I can smile a lot better and be comfortable with it. I’m very pleased.

Hi. I’m Veronica; I’m from Colorado Springs. I came to Pikes Peak Oral Surgery to get my tooth pulled and then also to get a dental implant. I also needed a sinus lift, and during that process, there’s a bone graft as well. I was definitely a little nervous. I’ve never had a tooth pulled. Everybody was very nice here, and so they eased any anxiety that I had by smiling. They were very calm, very nurturing, and just overall, it was just a very friendly environment. My interactions with Dr. Kunkel have always been positive. He’s so nice and just definitely put me at ease. He actually personally called with each of my procedures was done later that evening to make sure that I was doing okay, which was amazing to me. It really made me feel like he, he really cared about how I was doing. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Kunkel.

Hi, my name is Ron, and I’m from Colorado Springs. What happened to me is I had a major bicycle accident, road bike, and I went over the front, landed on my face. I was taken to the hospital immediately, and I was very, very happy Dr. Kunkel was on duty that day. He had to basically push and lift my upper jaw back into position and then secure it with titanium plates underneath my cheeks. As a result, at the end, I was able to basically bite and chew normally. Since my surgery, I feel absolutely normal. The staff is excellent, and I just really enjoyed coming here. Dr. Kunkel could be my son, and if he was, I’d really be proud of him. I would highly recommend him for any of your oral surgery needs; I wouldn’t go to anyone else.

- Ron

Hello. My name is Mickey, and I am from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I needed to have some oral surgery — an extraction, and bone grafts, and an implant. Dr. Kunkel was just the best. Well, I had a telephone call, and then I had a little note in the mail to see how I was, and I thought that was very special. I would definitely recommend Dr. Kunkel to anyone that I could stop on the street who needs to see someone in his talent area, and I just think that Dr. Kunkel and his staff are excellent.

Hello. My name's Diana; I’m from Monument, Colorado. I had an impacted wisdom tooth; this infection grew and grew. By the time I went to the emergency room, the infection had moved towards half my face and moving towards my neck. The ER doctors, they called in an oral surgeon who happened to be on call which I was very fortunate that that doctor was Dr. Kunkel. Dr. Kunkel checked on me every day and made sure that the antibiotics were the right ones to work for the infection that I had. The whole time, I felt I was in excellent hands, and he totally put me at ease through this whole procedure. I would recommend Dr. Kunkel and his staff to anyone.

My first name is Rockey Bell; I’m from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I had this big lump inside my mouth, and I wasn’t really sure what it was. It was a little painful, so I came here to see what they could do with that nasty-looking thing. I was very nervous because I had thought maybe it might be cancer, or I really didn’t know what it was. Dr. Kunkel is a very proficient doctor. He’s very intelligent, and he talks to you like you’re human. I think the staff are amazing. They’ve helped me with every issue I’ve had. They made me feel comfortable. I would recommend anybody from Colorado Springs, Monument, Falcon to Dr. Kunkel.

I’m Andrea Brown, and I’m from Colorado Spring, Colorado. I came to Pikes Peak Oral Surgery because I had an abscessed tooth that was getting infected. Dr. Kunkel did an extraordinary job in treating me, in diagnosing me, and I feel real comfortable that I’m on the road to recovery right now. The staff at Dr. Kunkel’s office is just wonderful. I bring them treats. They are so sweet. They are terrific. It’s a real nice, friendly, tight-knit group. If I were to recommend an oral surgeon to any of my friends in Peregrine or Briargate, I would definitely recommend Dr. Kunkel. I’ve been thrilled with his care.

Why us

My name is Chris Mussone, DDS, and my practice name is my name: Christopher Mussone, DDS, Family Dentist. I refer to Dr. Kunkel because I have a lot of confidence in him. I feel that when I send patients his way that they're going to come back happy. I send patients over here most often for implants and extractions. So when I send Dr. Kunkel patients, they’re patients that I see generally for life. So, I trust him to treat my patients the way I would want them treated in my office. When my patients come back to me, they generally feel that Dr. Kunkel’s office has treated them well and that he has followed up in an appropriate manner, and they’ve had no problems.
