dental practice in Asheville, NC.
February 2009 marked an exciting change for Dr. Thomas's practice. After 11 years, he and his staff moved to a
new location in Asheville to allow for practice growth and to better accommodate patients' dental needs. The new

the art technology. Dr. Thomas continues to be a premier provider of general, family and cosmetic dentistry in

courses throughout the year, covering topics such as: occlusion, TMJ, root canal therapy, oral pathology, oral
surgery, smile design, and infection control, to name a few.
Dr. Thomas and his wife, Barbara, are the parents of a daughter, Stephanie, who is in college, and twin sons,
