About Alexandra E. Thomson, DMD

Dr. Thomson is committed to providing each patient with leading-edge treatment, through the use of advanced technology, techniques, and materials. Each year she completes many hours of continuing dental education and has extensively studied dental implants, CEREC®, and Invisalign®. Dr. Thomson is also a clinical instructor in the advanced general dentistry program at the University of Maryland Dental School. She works with postdoctoral students and focuses on teaching CEREC technology. Teaching keeps Dr. Thomson up to date with many advances in dentistry and exposes her to rigorous discussions of methodologies and new approaches to patient care. In addition, Dr. Thomson is a member of the National Dental Practice-Based Research Network. This enables her to participate, on a volunteer basis, in performing practice-based research at our office. She offers this option to her patients and thanks those who have agreed to participate. Dr. Thomson knows it’s essential to generate real-life feedback to better understand how certain dental procedures and products work in the real world. After growing up on the upper west side of Manhattan, Dr. Thomson still considers herself to be a New Yorker at heart! She now lives in Arlington with her husband, Barrie Tron. The couple has two children, Zoe and Ted, and are recent empty nesters. Dr. Thomson is enjoying having time for weekend getaways with her husband. She also likes keeping healthy through workouts at the gym and jogging. One of Dr. Thomson’s most rewarding experiences as a dentist was volunteering for the Mission of Mercy in Maryland. This program provides free dental care to the less privileged in our community. Dr. Thomson found it humbling to see people lined up, all night, in order to receive dental care.
