“Raising three girls, I really want to instill confidence in them. Don’t discount yourself; you can accomplish so much. Hard work really does pay off.”

Dr. Kelly Thompson followed in her parents’ footsteps after dental school and joined the Army, where she worked as a dentist for soldiers. While serving her country, she met her husband, who was in the Air Force. After serving six years, she left the military and moved to Denver. Now, she is the mother of three, spirited girls who love the outdoors and the proud owner of Belmar Dentistry in Lakewood.
