Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Thompson grew up the son of a military dentist. He has spent most of his life in the Colorado Springs area. He graduated from Doherty High School, then attended Metropolitan State University of Denver, receiving his B.S. in Healthcare Administration. After working in that field for a few years, he decided to follow in his father’s footsteps and pursued a degree in dentistry from the Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston.
After graduating, Dr. Thompson returned to Colorado Springs to enter private practice. After semi-retiring in 2013, his interest in dentistry turned to how dentists can help patients suffering from obstructive sleep apnea using oral appliances. He has received extensive training, taking literally hundreds of hours of continuing education focused on the diagnosis and treatment of sleep apnea, and he holds active memberships in professional dental organizations and study clubs focused solely on sleep apnea. For the past several years, Dr. Thompson has solely focused on this area of dentistry.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Thompson regularly travels the country performing readiness exams on military reserve personnel to ensure they have adequate oral health required to perform their duties.
Personally, Dr. Thompson’s married to his amazing wife, Yvonne. Yvonne is a practice-registered dental hygienist in Colorado Springs. They have two beautiful young daughters, and Dr. Thompson says that his top priority is being a hands-on father to his girls. His free time is focused on his family and his hobbies of skiing, camping, fishing, gardening, and working out.
