Smiles for Generations

We have created four generations of smiles

Ours is a long-standing commitment to our patients—one that has lasted over 75 years of combined experience creating smiles: Two generations of doctors and three generations of patients. Dr. William Thompson started this practice in Bradenton in 1960, and was joined by his son, Dr. Jeff Thompson, in 1985. Since then, our family has been passionate about creating awesome smiles for thousands of your families in the Bradenton, Lakewood, Sarasota, Palmetto, and Ellenton communities.

In Tribute to Dr. William J. Thompson

Past President of the American Board of Orthodontics

Dr. William Thompson made tremendous contributions to the Bradenton community for 42 wonderful years before retiring in 2001. He was much loved by all, and made a great impact on thousands of patients’ lives by providing exceptional orthodontic care. He was a true innovator and pioneer.

His love and passions were Darrol, his wife for 61 years, his faith in God and orthodontics. Now that he is beside his father with a deserved retire and complete resume, we find peace that comes from knowing his freedom and we are thankful we shared his time on earth. Many friends and colleagues grew from his wisdom and knowledge, which he graciously shared. A special thanks to everyone for those lasting memories and all the support over the years. 

Never to be forgotten because he touch and helped so many: that's what he loved and what great men do!
