That’s why we focus on building real relationships, offering honest guidance, and creating an environment where every patient feels valued. Our commitment to higher‑level dentistry means we listen, we educate, and we treat every smile with the same care we’d give our own families.

Meet Our Doctor

Dr. Thompson grew up in rural New Mexico after being born in Durango, Colorado, spending his early years working on his family farm. A talented athlete, he played baseball nationwide and was even offered a spot with the Milwaukee Brewers, but chose to pursue his education instead, completing his collegiate baseball career with the UNM Lobos.

He earned his dental degree with honors from the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine and completed advanced hospital-based training in Denver, gaining extensive experience in prosthodontics, IV sedation, oral surgery, implants, and endodontics. His excellence led to invitations to serve as chief resident and later resident faculty before returning home to New Mexico to join Summit Family Dental.

Dr. Thompson is an active member of numerous professional dental organizations and holds ACLS and PALS certifications. He continues to advance his skills through ongoing training with the prestigious Spear Education group.
Outside the office, he enjoys time with his family, mountain biking, reading, and exploring New Mexico’s vibrant cuisine. He is proud to provide high-quality dental care to the community he calls home.

    Good unless they expect you to eat with pain and not prescribe anything for pain so that you can eat to take the antibiotics

    had my cleaning done by Rachel at Summit Family Dental, and she was amazing! She was so gentle, thorough, and made me feel comfortable the entire time. She took the time to explain everything, answered my questions, and made what could have been a stressful appointment such an easy experience. The whole team was friendly and welcoming, and the office was clean and professional. I highly recommend Rachel and the whole Summit Family Dental team if you’re looking for a dental office that truly cares about their patients!
