Angelo Kliossis, DDS

Growing up Fort Mill, South Carolina, Dr. Thompson is a proud graduate of the College of Charleston for her undergrad degree, and Medical University of South Carolina for her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree. Her main reason for becoming a dentist is personal: Her own journey to correct peg lateral incisors adjacent to her front teeth involved years of orthodontic care. So she has a special appreciation for what smile transformation can do for a person’s confidence. After completing a one-year AEGD residency program—Advanced Education in General Dentistry—Dr. Thompson moved to Atlanta with her husband, Kip, who is a native of the Big Peach. They live in Brookhaven with their adorable twin daughters, Avery and Kaylan. When not at the practice, you’ll find her spending time with friends and family in the great outdoors, traveling and dining out.

A highly personalized boutique dental practice, Palm Branch Dentistry is a private, dentist-owned operation that puts patients first. We stand behind the meaning of our name: Across cultures and centuries, the palm branch has signified goodness and peace, integrity and grace. It’s also a nod to general dentist Dr. Allison Thompson’s beloved home state of South Carolina. Our brand of Southern hospitality is authentic. When patients walk through our doors, they feel appreciated, like they belong here. Dr. Thompson specializes in cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers), rehabilitative dentistry (crowns, implants, bridges, dentures), as well as general dentistry and preventive care including teeth cleaning, dental sealants and fillings. She treats chronic conditions like TMJ, with custom nightguards or Botox injections. Esthetic rejuvenation is a specialty at the practice. Dr. Thompson has the training in assessing facial structure and an artistic eye to direct Botox injections to soften muscles responsible for lines and wrinkles, including frown lines and crow’s feet. We treat patients like people, not just a set of teeth. Our highly trained hygienists oversee the dental cleaning and begin the process of educating the patient. Even the mechanics of a preventive check-up are heightened here! Dr. Thompson invested in the DryShield Isolation System, a device that provides strong suction and more comfort for the client. We are much more than your average dental clinic. Palm Branch Dentistry is a perfect fit in its upscale, cosmopolitan and internationally influenced neighborhood of fine shops and restaurants. The décor is equal parts elegant and welcoming, with modern Lucite tables (topped with artsy coffee table books), sculptured furnishings with gold accents, sophisticated wall art, show plants and gleaming hardwood floors set against walls of the palest shell pink and cream. Soaring windows within the high-tech operatories overlook Peachtree Road and the top of Buckhead’s Cardiac Hill across from Piedmont Atlanta Hospital. As a resident of Brookhaven, it was important for Dr. Thompson to stay close to her community. She’s involved with several local charities and organizations and enjoys giving back. Being a smaller, tight-knit staff of five—three dental hygienists and an office manager—means patients will see the same familiar faces with every appointment. Reviews often mention it feels like family here, and that’s exactly what we wanted. Our Spanish-speaking patients appreciate that one of our hygienists is fluent with the language, which makes communicating about dental care effective and streamlined.
