We accept a variety of payment options and are always happy to address your administrative concerns. We’ll also work with you to schedule any follow-up or routine visits that Dr. Thornton may recommend as part of your customized treatment plan. Excellence in dentistry begins with a thorough evaluation and diagnosis and a MASTER PLAN. Every patient will receive a comprehensive examination of gums, teeth, bite, joints, muscles, and soft tissues. Dr. Thornton uses state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, including a Computerized Dental Fitness Program (developed by his mentor, Dr. Michael Schuster, founder of the Schuster Center Business School for Dentists), intraoral videography, digital x-rays (with 1/8’s normal radiation), jaw simulators, and study casts of your own mouth. This is a process of discovering your RISK ASSESSMENT of gum disease, tooth decay, TMJ or jaw joint, and tooth wear. We believe the comprehensive “guided tour” of your mouth and diagnosis is the cornerstone of disease prevention and long-term health. The uniqueness of our practice is that we approach the care of the mouth from a systems point of view, not on simply a tooth-by-tooth basis. We are a dedicated mercury-free dental office offering mercury-safe removal services. That means that we do not place any mercury fillings and are certified to safely remove mercury fillings, utilizing a specific protocol, for patients throughout Tupelo and the North Mississippi area. Discover the difference that exceptional dentistry can make in your health and quality of life. Contact the dental practice of Dr. Robert H. Thornton, DMD today! We’re always accepting new patients and are eager to learn more about your dental health goals. Whether you’re due for your bi-annual dental cleaning or exam or have questions about our services for Restorative, Cosmetic, Family, or General Dentistry, our staff will be more than happy to assist you.
