I tend to tense up when I go to dentist. With a history of periodontal issues, I needed a dentist that was skilled and knowledgeable but also someone that was going to take the time to care for my individual dental needs. Dr. Thompson and her team exceeded my expectations. The team at Silver Spring Dental Arts were friendly, empathetic, patient and showed genuine care for me as a patient.
At your first visit, Dr. Thompson will listen to any concerns you may have and discuss your oral health. She will then perform a thorough clinical examination including radiographs. If needed, a panoramic radiograph will be taken to augment the examination. Following this, Dr. Thompson will discuss her findings and any treatment needed with you.
It is our mission to provide you with affordable, highest quality treatment that fits your budget! Each patient has their own unique needs, and as such, treatment is designed to fit those individual needs. We believe dental care is a great investment in your overall health; the benefits of which will last a lifetime.
Regular dental examinations are the best way to ensure that you have a healthy smile. We start each examination with a professional cleaning so that we are able to examine your mouth and teeth closely. It is our goal to find and correct any problems before they become major ones! When we apply a dental sealant, we paint a plastic coating on top of your teeth.
Teeth whitening products use bleaches (either hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide) to break stains into smaller pieces, which make them harder to see and make your teeth brighter. These bleaches do not work on all teeth, so it is important to consult your dentist before any treatment. Whitening will not be effective on caps, veneers, crowns, fillings or if the color is caused by medications or injury.

Dr. Thompson has been my dentist for over 5 years and I've consistently been impressed with the quality of care she has given my aging teeth, and I've never been disappointed. Prior to yesterday's consultation I had given up hope for a tooth and crown that had broken off. But she said she could likely devise a way to restore it with a new crown, even though very little of the natural tooth was left. She laid out some likely scenarios based on whether a root canal would be needed or not. She always presents her findings in very personable ways.

Best dentist ever! Dr. Thompson is very attuned to her patients' needs and is careful to make sure that there is no pain involved. I used to really dread having work done on my teeth, but she has removed that fear. Her staff is fantastic, too! Everyone is so kind and professional.
