Care shaped by compassion, guided by connection
Meet Dr. Kaleb Thompson
Dental Transformations – Leland is led by Dr. Kaleb Thompson, whose path to North Carolina began in Utah and settled here in 2016. After earning his dental degree from Roseman University of Health Sciences, Dr. Thompson brought with him more than a decade of hands-on experience and a clear intention: to build a practice rooted in accessibility, respect, and patient-centered care for the growing Leland and Wilmington communities.
His clinical experience spans a wide range of advanced procedures, including dental implants, root canals, extractions, dentures, and pediatric dentistry. This breadth allows patients to receive comprehensive care in one familiar, supportive setting—care that feels cohesive rather than fragmented. Fluent in Spanish, Dr. Thompson is able to communicate with clarity and ease, helping ensure that understanding and comfort remain central to every visit.
At the heart of Dr. Thompson’s work is a philosophy that dentistry should feel collaborative, not transactional. He approaches each patient with curiosity and care, taking time to listen, explain options thoughtfully, and shape treatment around individual needs. The result is care that balances precision with compassion. Effective. Measured. Grounded in trust.
Beyond the office, Dr. Thompson values an active, well-rounded life. He enjoys traveling, surfing, playing pickleball, staying active, and spending time with his children. That sense of balance carries into his practice, where his calm, approachable presence helps patients of all ages feel at ease from their very first visit.
For those seeking a dentist who values quality, connection, and long-term oral health, Dr. Thompson and his team offer an experience defined not just by what they do, but by how thoughtfully they do it.

What to Bring
Here’s what to bring with you to your first appointment:


Advanced Imaging for elevated care
Excellent care begins with clear understanding. That’s why we use advanced imaging technology to support precise diagnosis and thoughtful treatment planning, helping reduce uncertainty and improve outcomes for our patients.
CBCT Scanner
Our office features a CBCT scanner, providing detailed 3D imaging of teeth, bone, and surrounding structures. This technology allows us to plan complex procedures, such as implants and extractions, with greater accuracy—supporting comfort, efficiency, and long-lasting results.
