Dr. Boyd David Welton

After completing his orthodontic specialty training Dr.Welton returned to Utah to establish his private practice in Riverton. Since opening his practice he has treated thousands of …patients comprising the full spectrum of orthodontic problems, from simple crowding to complex treatments involving oral surgery. Dr. Welton believes that the benefits of orthodontic treatment are more than just beautiful teeth and proper function of the mouth. Beyond that is the positive social and psychological impact treatment has on patients. For him the greatest result of orthodontic treatment is to see a timid and self-conscious patient become confident and outgoing as a result of treatment.
Dr. Welton is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists along with its regional and local constituencies, as well as, an active member in his local study group.
In order to stay current with the latest advances in orthodontics Dr. Welton regularly attends continuing education courses and is excited about the increasing use of technology in orthodontic treatment.
