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.
This love of learning has continued throughout Dr. Thrasher’s career. He has always wanted to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry. This has led to a journey of continuing education throughout his career at such prestigious institutions as the Pankey Institute in Florida, The Dawson Academy, the Las Vegas Institute, Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS), and many others.
