Tupelo, MS I am honored to serve as North Mississippi’s only Bioesthetic Dentist. I offer all new patients an initial complimentary consultation so you can better understand how Bioesthetics may help you in achieving your overall health goals. Bioesthetic Principles are a key part of my practice and as a patient-focused, health-centered Dentist, I continually strive to operate from a perspective of whole health. My Tupelo, MS dental practice blends minimally invasive techniques with gentle, patient-centered care, ensuring treatment plans are tailored to meet each individual’s needs. Having a healthy smile is about more than just having whiter or straighter teeth. It’s also about having teeth that are the correct shape and come together, stable jaw joints, and a functional chewing system. That’s why we’re proud to offer Bioesthetic Dentistry for Tupelo families and individuals seeking true holistic wellness and optimal dental health. As Tupelo’s leading Bioesthetic Dentist, I am well-versed in a variety of Bioesthetic Dental Treatments and treat patients of all ages and levels of health. Whether you’re seeking relief from jaw pain, bite problems, TMJ/TMD symptoms, airway issues, cosmetic concerns, or worn down, damaged, or missing teeth, I am here to help! If you believe you have TMJ disorder, and you’re searching for relief from your pain and symptoms, I urge you to consider my advanced treatment option called MAGO Therapy. MAGO stands for Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthotic. A MAGO is a device that is worn over the teeth and adjusted weekly. This non-surgical, minimally-invasive therapeutic approach is one of the single most effective methods for providing long-term TMD relief. Through this method, the proper alignment of the jaw joints in their resting position can be determined with extreme accuracy. This data can then be used to calibrate an oral split that provides precise positioning for optimal results and lasting relief. To date, MAGO Therapy is the ONLY type of splint therapy that has been scientifically proven to help with TMJ problems. Treatment with the VIVOS® Method usually lasts 12 to 24 months. During this time, the patient wears a custom-made VIVOS® oral appliance in the evening hours and overnight while they sleep. This process helps to reconfigure the patient’s upper jaw, lower jaw, and airway and address issues related to the dental arch, jaw placement, and tongue position. Many patients who undergo treatment with the VIVOS® System are able to achieve significant relief within just a few months. They enjoy better sleep, a better quality of life, and, best of all, don’t have to resort to CPAP Therapy. Studies have found that with the VIVOS® System, over 80% of OSA patients experience a reduction in symptoms. Additionally, approximately 97% of all patients achieve their desired outcome upon the completion of treatment. Myofunctional Therapy is an integrated part of what we do as we retrain the tongue muscles to function properly. We are bringing our expertise to both adults and children. If your child is suffering with ADD/ADHD, snoring, bed wetting, restless sleep, grinding teeth, or interrupted breathing, we are here to help. Making the proper diagnosis is the key to creating the appropriate treatment to help you and your child achieve optimal health. Described as a “life-like” alternative to traditional dental crowns, Biomimetric Restorations are designed to closely match the look and feel of your natural teeth. By using porcelain inlays and onlays in combination with stress-reduced direct composite restorations, I am able to fully restore the biomechanics of damaged teeth. During this process, only decay and damage are removed, leaving the healthy parts of your tooth fully intact. The final restoration is then bonded to the healthy tooth structure, creating a strong, aesthetically pleasing, and fully functional restoration. Whether you’re visiting us for a routine procedure such as an oral exam or dental cleaning or have questions about a particular matter like dental sealants, baby’s first tooth, oral cancer screening, or senior dentistry, Dr. Thornton and our team are eager to assist you. We know that every patient is unique and has different goals for their health. That’s why we offer an extensive variety of dental services for families and individuals. As Tupelo’s top family and general Dentist, you can count on us for expert care and service Healthy is beautiful. We live by the philosophy that beauty comes from a place of wellness and that good dental health is essential for a happy, fulfilling life. My approach to Cosmetic Dentistry is different because we focus on the natural biology of your dental system. We find that the characteristics that make your smile healthy from a biological perspective are also what makes it look natural and beautiful. We aim to go beyond just repairing cosmetic damages to your teeth and strive to enhance the health of your whole dental system. Replace missing or damaged teeth with natural-looking solutions that restore your smile’s form and function! The dental office of Robert H. Thornton, DMD is proud to offer aesthetic, durable dental crowns, bridges, and dentures. Our natural-looking tooth restorations are the perfect solution for rejuvenating your smile and repairing cracked, chipped, or worn-down teeth, resulting in a more youthful, attractive glow. We use the latest techniques and quality materials to craft tooth replacements tailored to your unique smile, bringing out the very best in you! Among our health-focused dental services, Robert H. Thornton, DMD offers dental implant services in our Tupelo office. Dental implants can restore your ability to chew well, enjoy any meal you want, prevent teeth shifting and long-term bite problems, while also improving the physical appearance of your smile. Millions of Americans suffer from tooth loss. In the past, the only way of treating tooth loss was with bridges and full or partial dentures. Now, thanks to advancements in modern technology and medical science, there has emerged a more natural and effective way to take care of missing teeth and the health issues associated with tooth loss. Dental implants offer a long-term, aesthetically pleasing way to replace missing teeth and improve your oral health. Robert H. Thornton, DMD I would love the opportunity to meet with you and earn your trust. Let’s partner together to enhance your dental wellness and overall quality of life. 🙂 Dr. Robert H.
