He continued his dental specialty education at Dayton, Ohio’s Children’s Medical Center, where he earned his Certificate of Pediatric Dentistry in 1983.

In 1987, Dr. Orbon achieved Diplomate status in the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry …and is a member of the College of Diplomates. His love of children, and helping them overcome fear, is what he loves most about being a Pediatric Dentist.
Dr. Orbon and his wife Lorraine have their hands full with a brood of four children ranging from two out of college to two in High School: Jimmy, Kate, Beth, and Molly. In addition to being a Swim Referee and Masters Swimming, he and his family enjoy travelling, and hope to see the world. In the meantime, they enjoy cooking barbecuing, and gardening at home. Dr. Orbon also has a love hate relationship with golf.
