Whiter, brighter, younger-looking smiles! We see them everywhere: in the movies, on television and in magazines. People who make their living looking great spend thousands of dollars to look the way they do. Their pictures have been air-brushed to make them look perfect. How can we get such perfect looking smiles? Is this a realistic goal for us? Everyone is born with a different colour and shade of teeth. Teeth are not normally white. Natural aging of our teeth does result in a yellower appearance. Coffee, tea, cola and tobacco products will change the colour of your teeth. Making the effort to control these habits will make a difference to the appearance of your teeth. |

Welcome
As the team at Thornton Dental Centre we would like to introduce ourselves and describe our unique way of providing oral care to our community.
Our goal is to provide comprehensive integrative dental care in a compassionate, relaxed atmosphere. We believe that patients need to have a great rapport with their partners in care. Involving allopathic and holistic health practitioners is essential for the best interests of our patients.
An integral part of our approach is a belief that the health of the mouth plays an important role in the well-being of the patient. Every person is a complex combination of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual components and health reflects a balance of all four. Research has shown the significant connection between the mouth and the rest of the body. Gum disease, necrotic teeth and poor oral health affect general health. Quality of the breath, colour of the gum tissue, tartar and plaque build-up on the teeth and the colour and coating of the tongue help determine the health of the whole body.
Another part of our philosophy is to restore teeth with materials that are compatible to the body. Educating our patients plays a large role in the care we provide. Many of our patients come to us wanting to take charge of their general and oral health.
At Thornton Dental Centre, we take into consideration the uniqueness of each individual and we respect his or her different values, health conditions and specific needs. We treat both children and adults with the same approach. Come in and see us! We will be your partners in good health.
