Transforming smiles and changing lives with our quality services.
Using advanced technology, we can design, create, and place your custom crown or bridge in just one visit. That way, you can enjoy a fully restored smile and complete bite without waiting for weeks with temporary restorations.
Routine dental cleanings allow us to keep your gums healthy and your smile looking its best. These visits are also critical for getting the best lifespan out of dental work like crowns and bridges, making them a smart way to protect your investment in better oral health.
Dental emergencies, like a broken tooth or sudden toothache, can happen anytime. In these situations, timely care is essential to relieve pain, protect your smile, and prevent further damage.
Dental anxiety shouldn’t stand between you and a healthy smile. Whether you’re nervous about treatment or simply want a more comfortable experience, our sedation options help you feel relaxed from start to finish. We offer oral conscious sedation for deeper relaxation during longer or more complex procedures, as well as nitrous oxide (laughing gas) for mild, fast-acting relief that wears off quickly after your visit. Our team will help you choose the sedation option that’s right for you, so you can receive the care you need with greater comfort and confidence.
At Hillcrest Dental Care, we strive to keep our patients comfortable and free from injury or pain. As such, we are cognizant of the fact that most dental emergencies are unplanned. If your tooth has been damaged or you are in pain, call us right away so that we can schedule your appointment and treat the issue quickly. Our friendly team will do our best to accommodate your schedule and ensure that you can get back to a life that is free from oral pain. While many dentists, require you to schedule appointments far in advance – our team will work with you in each situation to get you the necessary treatment right away.
Dr. Thrasher’s love of dentistry began on the many trips from Gatesville to Waco to see his orthodontist. As a small child, he had very large “buck” teeth, so at age 14, Dr. Thrasher and his mother set out on a mission to correct this problem.
Over the next four years of not only metal braces but also extensive headgear, his teeth and his future career path were transformed. Dr. Thrasher developed a close relationship with Dr. Ed Taylor, who always kept him entertained with hunting and fishing stories, which were of great interest to the then teenager. This relationship sealed the deal for Dr. Thrasher’s future career.
Dr. Thrasher attended Baylor University, where he chose a pre-dental, pre-med career path. After graduating cum laude from Baylor and being accepted by several dental schools across the nation, he chose to go to Baylor College of Dentistry in Dallas. Once he started dental school, Dr. Thrasher’s interest in all areas of dentistry broadened. While he still had a great interest in orthodontics, he loved learning all aspects of dentistry.
