Meet Dr. Tompkins
Dr. Tompkins is committed to providing outstanding care and takes continuing education courses from around the country to be better equipped to deliver superior and cutting edge treatments. In fact, he consistently earns far more continuing education hours than are required by the North Carolina State Dental Board.
Having studied extensively at the world’s premier postgraduate institute, Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI) www.lviglobal.com, Dr. Tompkins has become extremely proficient and versed in advanced cosmetic dentistry, neuromuscular dentistry (TMJ, TMD, etc.), as well as sleep apnea treatment. In fact, he has earned two fellowships and a diplomate in Dental Sleep Medicine. At the time of this award, there were only four diplomates in Dental Sleep Medicine in the entire state. Most dentists never earn a single fellowship during their entire careers.
Since 2008, Dr. Tompkins has served as a clinical instructor at LVI teaching other dentists from around the world cosmetic and TMJ techniques. He also recently implemented a revolutionary orthodontics concept.
A native of Boone, NC, Dr. Tompkins attended Appalachian State University for two years before transferring to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. There, he earned degrees in chemistry, pharmacy and dentistry. Before completing his dental degree he worked as a pharmacist for three years and finds this experience and education to be very valuable in his dental practice.
