Dr. Walton is an orthodontic specialist with over 15 years of experience. Born the first of six siblings in Davenport, Iowa, his family relocated to San Diego, Calif., and then later to Atlanta, Georgia. “I knew by the eighth grade that I wanted to be an orthodontist and that I would have to work hard to make good grades to get into dental school.” Dr. Walton graduated from Marist High School, where he was quite an athlete. He earned an athletic scholarship to play baseball at the University of Georgia and received a B.S. in Pre-Dentistry. In 1982, he was named the University of Georgia’s top male scholar-athlete (highest GPA).
Dr. Walton continued on to attend the Medical College of Georgia for four years, where he graduated with a D.M.D. degree among the Top 5 in his class. Following that, he headed up to Boston, Massachusetts to complete his orthodontic residency at the prestigious Henry M. Goldman School of Graduate Dentistry at Boston University. After completing his residency in orthodontics, Dr. Walton began his professional career back in the Atlanta area.
Dr. Walton is one of only 20% of all orthodontists worldwide who is certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. He is also a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Southern Association of Orthodontists, the Georgia Association of Orthodontists, and the College of Diplomates of the American Board of Orthodontists. Dr. Walton has also been acknowledged in the American Journal of Orthodontics for his research on temporomandibular joint tomography.
According to Dr. Walton, his greatest achievements have come on the personal side of his life. “I was fortunate enough to marry a wonderful woman and have three great kids.” Dr. Walton has three active young boys: Garrett, Kelton, and Colin.
When he is not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Walton likes to spend time coaching kids in sports and spend time with his family. He continues to play competitive baseball in the MSBL (Men’s Senior Baseball League) in Atlanta. He also enjoys music and collecting historical autographs.
