Dr. Walton has seen all kinds of dental issues over the course of his career, and he’s ready to put his experience to good use by protecting your smile here at our Westerville dental office. Read on to learn more about his dental background before calling for an appointment.
Dr. Walton’s father was also a dentist. Naturally, this led to him becoming interested in the field early on. He appreciates many of the different aspects of dentistry, such as getting to interact with patients one-on-one and the mix of art and science. It’s no wonder that he eventually decided to follow his father’s example and pursue a similar career.
After he graduated from Ohio Wesleyan University (where he gained recognition as a skilled tennis player and was even entered into the Ohio Wesleyan Hall of Fame), Dr. Walton attended The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery.
Dr. Walton acted as a part-time clinical instructor at OSU for a decade. During his career, he worked for two insurance companies as a dental consultant. He is currently part of the Ohio Testing Commission, which provides advanced certifications for dental assistants.
Thanks to a number of advanced courses offered by Spear Education, the Dawson Academy, and the Seattle Study Club, Dr. Walton continues to expand his dental skill set. He holds membership with the American Dental Association, the Ohio Dental Association, and the Columbus Dental Association.
Dr. Walton has enjoyed more than 40 years of marriage with his wife Nancy. They often spend time with their three grown children and their four grandchildren. Dr. Walton greatly enjoys being a grandparent, and when it comes to his own hobbies, he likes to go golfing and skiing.
