FAQ

Absolutely. We offer same-day appointments for any dental emergency.

It is impossible to say if you are a candidate without looking at your mouth. There are many factors that go into this decision such as how many teeth are missing, how healthy your jaw bone is, and what other health concerns you have. However, we would love to help you get a better idea of what is possible for you. We offer a free dental implants consultation, so call our office today if you're interested in getting dental implants near you!

Dental anxiety is a very common issue, and our entire team completely understands why you may fear visiting the dentist. But there are two big reasons you should book an appointment with Dr. Thrasher:

He is an expert at providing dental sedation, which will ensure you feel no pain or nervousness whatsoever during any procedure. We also always apply local anesthetic to any area of your mouth that may become sensitive during treatment.

If you’re experiencing dental pain of any kind, putting off your appointment with Dr. Thrasher will only lead to further issues. You could be dealing with a problem that will affect the rest of your teeth and gums, which just means more visits and treatments! We use the latest technology and a gentle, expert hand to ensure you get the care you need now.

Give us a call if you're experiencing a dental emergency in Waco, TX, or are looking for a dentist providing sedation.

Many OTC whitening products can often be a waste of time and money. Dr. Thrasher can make sure you benefit the most from professional whitening treatments. The treatments he recommends will ensure fast and long-lasting results, minimize sensitivity, and preserve the health of your teeth. Schedule an appointment today for professional teeth whitening near you.

For starters, you should always seek a toothbrush that’s approved by the American Dental Association (ADA). You’ll see their Seal of Acceptance on the package. You should also choose a brush with soft bristles, since harder bristles can damage your gums. Replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or when the bristles become worn.

Dr. Thrasher and our team will provide the best advice regarding manual, electric, and sonic toothbrushes once they examine your smile. Our dentist near you will also advise you on proper brushing techniques that will best benefit your teeth and gums based on your mouth’s condition.
