I started visiting Dr. Thornton 8 years ago and now my entire family sees him for all our dental care. It is rare that you get excited to go to the dentist, but I must say it is always a pleasure when we visit their office. From the warm greetings we get upon check-in to the careful care from the hygienists and the amazing patient rapport from Dr. Thornton, it is always a positive experience. I highly recommend the entire practice!

Dental Implants
Tooth loss can make chewing and speaking difficult and impact your self-esteem. Missing teeth are also detrimental to both your oral and overall health. Fortunately, there is a solution to these issues. Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that provide the very best support for replacement teeth while stopping the bone atrophy that follows tooth loss. Our dentists can coordinate dental implant treatment to fill the gaps left by any number of missing teeth.
Veneers
Cosmetic issues such as chipped, cracked, stained, or slightly crooked teeth can give your smile an unhealthy appearance. If you have great oral hygiene but are still unhappy with how your teeth look, veneers are ultra-thin porcelain shells that can effectively conceal imperfections to give you a dazzling smile. Our dentists can place veneers in just two appointments, allowing patients to completely transform their smiles in as little as two weeks.
Crowns
A tooth that has been compromised due to physical trauma or decay can be restored with a dental crown. Crafted from advanced materials that are engineered to withstand years of biting forces, the medical-grade porcelain we use for crowns also mimics the light-reflecting properties of natural tooth enamel. Our dentists will color-match a dental crown to blend seamlessly with your surrounding teeth. With proper care and regular check-ups with our dentists, a crown can protect a tooth for 10 years or more.
Dentures
Missing most or all of your teeth affects nearly every aspect of your life. Widespread tooth loss compromises your appearance, keeps you from eating your favorite foods, and causes you to hide your smile when it's time for a photo with friends, family, or colleagues. A custom set of dentures can take years off of your appearance, enhance your quality of life, and make it easier to eat, speak, and smile. Our dentists can fabricate a partial or full denture to restore the function and appearance of your smile.
