Dr. W. Keith Thornton, DDS

Top3Doctors.com selected Dr. W. Keith Thornton as a top dental sleep medicine dentist in Dallas because of his long track record, his narrow focus, and his early role in shaping the field. He trained as a restorative dentist and later chose to limit his practice to sleep-related breathing problems. His practice describes him as a pioneer in what is now called dental sleep medicine. Over 25 years, he and his team have treated thousands of patients for snoring and sleep apnea. That long, narrow focus shapes every part of his practice.

What we like most about Dr. Thornton is how clearly he defines the dentist’s role in airway care. At SleepWell Solutions, his private office on Luther Lane in Dallas, he builds custom oral appliances such as the TAP device for people who struggle with CPAP. His view is simple: dentists know materials and can design a personal fix for each airway. Several members of his team have worked with him for decades, including one since 1987. For these reasons, Top3Doctors.com proudly names Dr. W. Keith Thornton among the top three dental sleep medicine dentists in Dallas.
