Meet Dr. Thornell
Dr. William Thornell, author and educator, has devoted more than thirty years to advancing the art and science of dentistry with a special focus on replacing missing or failing teeth with dental implants and full mouth restorative care. He is among a select group of doctors nationwide certified to provide Teeth in a Day/All-On-4 teeth replacement, giving individuals who struggle with missing or failing teeth the chance to receive a brand-new smile and fully functioning set of teeth in just one to two days.
His dedication to excellence and continuing education has allowed him to achieve board-certified Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantologists, the International Dental Implant Association, and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. Diplomate status represents the highest level of dental implant accreditation, conveying the honor of being recognized as a “dental implant specialist” among his peers and leading implant organizations. Fewer than 1% of all dental practitioners in the United States have attained this level of certification.
Dr. Thornell believes the mouth is the most influential part of our body. It affects us physically, psychologically and socially. At the heart of everything he does is the belief that restoring oral health transforms lives. His patients not only trust him for his surgical skill and expertise, but also for the compassion and hope he brings to every dental circumstance a person is experiencing. For anyone who is seeking world-class dental implant treatment in Southwest Colorado, Dr. Thornell offers something truly unique: a life long relationship with personalized care that produces life-changing results.
