Thompson Elicia DDS

A routine cleaning often uncovers issues before they turn painful. Thompson Elicia DDS on Riverside can step in when that tickle turns into a worry across front molars, wisdom tooth twinges, or a teen’s archwire change. Orthodontic consultations, fluoride shields, and night-guard fittings share space with digital X-rays that beam images in seconds. Crowns, bridges, and root canals roll right into same-day scheduling when pain arrives unannounced.

The red-brick corner at 617 Riverside Ave., Burlington, VT 05401 still keeps a discreet brass placard near the vestibule—a hint that dentistry keeps its own brand of privacy downtown. Crown replacements wear traditional porcelain, but single-visit ceramic inlays show up when a molar cracks mid-chew. Kids weary of mint polish can switch to fruity pastes, and the hygienists here flip between ultrasonic and manual without blinking.

Call to lock in an exam that fits around school pickups or lunch breaks—(802) 652-1050 rings straight to the front desk. Four or five root-canal shuffles can slot into a Thursday afternoon if the infection clock starts ticking after Tuesday’s coffee spill. The practice slots orthodontic check-ins for teens riding the braces schedule from September straight through May.

Tuck the map away for detours down Pine Street toward the waterpark entrance; then head north two blocks and you’ll spot the numbered bollards out front. The flat driveway on the east side usually saves pedestrians a loop through Elmwood traffic, and the doorbell is right of the left-hand shoe scraper. You’ll already be halfway to the coffee shop by the time you queue the return route.
