Get to know Cosmetic Dentist Dr. Uyen Thompson, who serves patients in Chula Vista, California.

Dr. Thompson is a cosmetic dentist who is currently serving patients’ dental needs at her private dental practice Thompson Center for Dentistry in Chula Vista, California. Thompson Center for Dentistry is not like many other standard dental practices. The office is designed to make patients feel like they are in a comfortable home instead of a traditional doctor’s office. Dr. Thompson and her dental team understand that dental technologies and treatment techniques are constantly advancing. That’s why part of their commitment to high-quality patient care involves continuing education for their dentists and staff members to stay abreast of the absolute latest in the field of dentistry. 

Dr. Thompson earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry at USC. She has also pursued continuing dental education at the prestigious Pankey Institute, the Kois Center, and the California Implant Institute. In addition, her completion of the Oral Implantology program at the California Implant Institute has helped her to become proficient in all stages of dental implant placement. 

Dr. Thompson is a member of the American Dental Association, the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, the International Association for Orthodontics, the California Dental Association, the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, the San Diego County Dental Society, and more.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. While general dentists may offer certain cosmetic dental procedures, cosmetic dentists are typically those who have undergone many hours of additional training and education that focuses on improving the aesthetics of the teeth and gums. As a cosmetic dentist, Dr. Thompson strives to provide comprehensive dental care and the ultimate patient experience to every individual who walks through her door. She has dedicated her career to helping people improve their oral health and maintain a beautiful, winning smile. 

Dr. Thompson places a high priority on safety and comfort, and has made it a point to offer a wide range of dental procedures under one roof. In addition to providing advanced general, restorative, and cosmetic dentistry options, she is extensively trained and experienced with dental implants and orthodontic treatments.
