Dentures

Losing teeth can significantly impact your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dentures provide a proven solution for patients who have lost multiple teeth or require full arch restoration. Dr. Thomas offers both partial and complete dentures, custom-crafted to fit your mouth comfortably while restoring both function and appearance. The process involves careful measurements and multiple fittings to create dentures that look natural and feel comfortable for everyday wear.

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a damaged or diseased tooth cannot be saved and requires removal. Dr. Thomas performs both simple and surgical extractions when teeth have sustained severe decay, trauma, or when preparation is needed for other dental treatments. Modern extraction techniques and sedation options make the procedure more comfortable than many patients expect, and proper aftercare helps promote quick healing and prevents complications.

Root Canals

Root canal therapy saves infected teeth from extraction while eliminating the pain caused by damaged or infected pulp. Dr. Thomas carefully removes the infected tissue, cleans the root canals, and seals the tooth to prevent future problems. Despite their reputation, root canals are comfortable procedures with modern anesthesia, and most patients experience relief from pain rather than additional discomfort.

Sedation

Dental anxiety should never prevent you from receiving the care you need. Thomas Smile Designs in Billings, MT, provides multiple sedation options to help patients feel calm and relaxed during treatment. Dr. Thomas offers oral sedation for deeper relaxation, nitrous oxide for mild to moderate anxiety, local anesthetic for pain-free procedures, and The Wand® Anesthesia system for a more comfortable injection experience. Your sedation choice depends on your anxiety level, the procedure type, and your personal preferences.
