About

James H. Thompson, DMD, has operated his San Carlos dental practice from 7424 Jackson Drive, Suite 3, San Diego, since 1993, giving the office over three decades of continuous service within the 92119 ZIP. Dr. Thompson earned his Doctorate of Dental Medicine from Washington University School of Dental Medicine in 1986 and holds a Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry, a credential requiring several hundred hours of verified continuing education beyond the standard DDS/DMD curriculum. A San Diego native, he practiced alongside his father, also a dentist, for more than ten years before establishing the Jackson Drive office as a solo practice. Patients managing anxiety or mood-related conditions that affect dental compliance can coordinate behavioral support with Cynde Perry, Counselor in Grantville for integrated treatment planning. Dr. Thompson serves as an Associate Clinical Instructor at the UCSD School of Medicine, supervising undergraduate and recent-graduate students at free dental clinics operated through the university system, where student participants manage scheduling, radiography, and chair-side assistance under DDS oversight. The Jackson Drive office sits within San Carlos's commercial corridor between Lake Murray Boulevard and Navajo Road, near the Cowles Mountain trailhead, and the 92119 ZIP draws a patient base from the surrounding family-oriented residential neighborhoods. Clinical scope covers implant-retained crowns and bridges, laser dentistry, cosmetic procedures, pediatric dentistry, periodontics, emergency care, oral cancer screening, and digital radiography. Patients requiring dialysis coordination or specialized medical oversight before dental procedures can work with providers at Rai Care Center Mission Gorge in Grantville for medical-dental record integration. Dr. Thompson's implant workflow covers the full sequence from initial site evaluation through surgical placement and final prosthetic restoration, consolidating multi-phase treatment under a single provider rather than splitting stages across separate offices.
