Sleep dentistry

The best dentistry can be done while you enjoy your best sleep! We understand that tension and anxiety can ruin a visit to the dentist therefore we actually encourage sedation to achieve the best quality of dental restorations. 

At Thorne Family Dentistry we provide sedation and do the monitoring for you. The warm blankets, dim lighting, and rapid ultra strength anesthetic make your visit nonexistent. It occurs to some patients that they dreamed of the visit but don't remember actually being present. 

Thanks for visiting our office ! 

Managing dental anxiety

Recently, Thorne Family Dentistry has joined the
Dental Anxiety Network. www.dentalanxiety.net
This is a group that sends newsletter on the topic of dental fear and the latest advancements on how to overcome this fear. Dentistry has improved so quickly regarding technology that the length of time in the dental chair is much shorter, quieter, and less invasive.
As we continue to grow our office we will stay involved with maintaining the most comfortable environment as possible and eliminate the fear of dentistry.

Amalgam "metal fillings"

The picture here shows a patient with an existing metal filling that has caused the entire lingual (tongue side) of the tooth to break away. The patient actually didn't even know it!

I just wanted to share this picture to show the devastating effects metal amalgam fillings can have on teeth. Of course, we can fix this and I will post a picture of our beautiful repair. Thorne Family Dentistry.
