About Dr. Winters

I started off my life not to be a dentist but to be a Dallas Cowboy. There was no one who knew more about them as a kid than I did. All the stats. Where they went to school. I mean everything. So, I spent all my time and energy trying to make that happen. I was a very good athlete growing up and played every sport there was, depending on the season. My main emphasis though was always football. Fortunately, my competiveness came through in the classroom as well and my grades were pretty good too.

My journey to becoming a Cowboy next led me to Kansas State University where I played for the Wildcats. Reality began to sink in though. My football career was going to end there in Manhattan, Kansas. I did realize while I was there though that dentistry seemed very interesting to me so I chose that as my new career goal.

Dental school was at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. After that, I was accepted into a residency program at the University of Louisville-Humana Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. After some incredible learning experiences dental school could not provide, I set out to save the world. This led me to the purchase of my first practice just outside of Tulsa. This was a general dental practice where I offered all dental procedures.

As the practice began to grow and flourish, I started to realize there were certain things I liked and was better at than others. This led me to the turning point in my career, the point in which I found my true passion in dentistry. That passion was to be the absolute best at what I do and to focus on what I love. My road down the path of cosmetic dentistry began.

I consumed all the information I could get my hands on. Articles, books, lectures, courses. If it was available, I did it. More importantly though is I actually went to the gurus, the leaders in the field, and spent time with them and learned from them. Eventually, this leads to my association with the world’s leading postgraduate teaching facility, the Las Vegas Institute of Advanced Dental Studies. As Dr. Bill Dickerson was starting this institute, he asked me if I would be one of his clinical instructors. Over 20 years later, I am still there conducting lectures myself while helping dentists from all over the world learn how to do the most cutting edge dental procedures available.
