Joseph Wetherhold D.M.D.

Dr. Joseph Wetherhold earned his undergraduate degree from the University of San Diego before graduating from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts.

A lifelong learner committed to advancing his skills, Dr. Wetherhold is a proud member of CDOCS, SERE, and the American Dental Association (ADA). He recently completed advanced implant training in the Dominican Republic, combining hands-on education with providing much-needed dental care to underserved communities.
