Meet Dr. Kelly Thompson

Owner Dr. Kelly Thompson began her dental career in the Army and transitioned into private practice with one priority: optimal dental care for each patient. Dr. Thompson became the owner of Belmar Dentistry [formerly Borris Dental] in 2022 and continues the practice’s tradition of high quality and compassionate dental care.

General + Restorative Dentistry

We help patients maintain a healthy mouth and smile. We prefer to provide more minor, preventative care than to see patients suffer with more intensive treatments from an unmanaged problem. We ensure your oral health is at an optimal state and is positively contributing to the health of your entire body.

Oral Surgery

We provide several oral surgery services such as single and wisdom tooth extractions, bone grafts, and implant placement here at our own office.

Emergency Dentistry

At Belmar Dentistry, we know tooth pain and emergent situations don’t always occur during business hours. We offer emergency dental care so you can get the help you need, when you need it, from the team you trust.

LEARN ABOUT OUR DENTAL SAVINGS PLAN

We offer an individual and family savings program so you can plan ahead for dental needs and receive discounts for things like fillings, deep cleanings and oral surgeries.

The people at Belmar Dentistry make the entire experience of going to the dentist enjoyable! I've never had to wait long in the waiting room for an appointment. They are gentle and check in with you when cleaning your teeth and thoughtfully provide sunglasses so you aren't blinded by the light. They use state-of-the-art technology such as a water pick for cleaning and imaging technology for x rays. Also, I appreciate how they take the time to provide information including showing the X-ray and talking through it and expectations. It's helpful for me that at the end they set up the next 6 month appointment and send reminders, even if you forgot to set one up. They're graciously understanding when you have to cancel for COVID or other emergencies and, they care about all their patients' health and safety. They are all so KIND! They ask me about my life and share theirs, they remember, and even sent me hand signed cards for my birthday and congratulations on my engagement. Sarah decorates the window seasonally and I LOVE it! I'll be going to Belmar Dentistry forever.

Wonderful team! Because of past experiences I am terrified of the dentist. But at Belmar Dentistry this is a thing of the past. Sarah B and Sarah H are so great and gentle cleaning your teeth. And when I did need to have a crown replaced Dr Thompson was amazing, kind and understanding. She made the process easy and bearable! Best experience of my life!! I will always be a patient here. Thanks to all the amazing people who work there

My experience at Belmar Dentistry has been my favorite dental experience this far in my 30+ years of life. This is saying ALOT as the dentist is a place that brings me an abundance of anxiety. The moment I stepped into the waiting room I felt this anxiety start to dissipate and it continued to as I met the dental assistants and one of the doctors. Each of them made me feel welcomed in different ways. Each of them were understanding, gentle and kind. I was educated on things I have never been taught before. They took the time to explain everything, and the dentist was gentle and skilled.I actually left with a smile on my face, and that's a first for me at a dentist's office! Highly recommend!! ! 😁🦷

Went into Belmar Dentistry for my first appointment in 10 years. I walked in and was immediately greeted by name, along with every other person that walked through the door. Sarah cleaned my teeth and was extremely gentle and kind. Dr. Thompson was so friendly and prompt. The entire experience was about as good as going to the dentist can be! The friendly staff, overall feel of the office, and quality work will have me coming back for years to come.

I have never been excited to schedule another appointment with a dentist before, but they treated my sensitive gums extremely well. Their person centered approach was shown to me throughout the visit, even giving me options so I didn't have to use the needle numbing agent (I have a fear of needles). Amazing experience, and I already have planned my next visit.

Just had a super positive experience getting 2 replacement crowns. I moved to Colorado a year ago and had been at my previous dentist for many years, so seeing someone new was a bit anxiety inducing. It takes time to build up that trust. I had previously been in the office for a dental checkup and cleaning and it was very thorough and pleasant. They discovered I needed 2 crowns replaced. I had my appointment today and Dr. Salas was super patient and kind throughout the whole process. AJ, the dental assistant was not only patient and caring, but explained every detail of everything they would be doing. I was told that any time I needed to take a break or use the restroom, just let them know, it was all good. The front desk is also welcoming as soon as you walk in the door. Highly recommend getting your dental care here.

We were searching for a new dentist and decided to try Borris Dental. The people are incredible, from the front desk to the hygienists to Dr Thompson. Such a pleasant experience! I appreciate the thoroughness and completeness of the cleaning, exam and answers to questions. So glad to find, we hope to be long term patients here.
