Her advanced training includes IV and oral conscious sedation, implant dentistry, full-mouth reconstruction, oral trauma management, and wisdom tooth removal. She is a Premier Invisalign Provider, advanced CEREC-educated, and continues her education through the Spear Institute focusing on cosmetic excellence.
Dr. Walters-Badillo is certified in IV and oral conscious sedation and holds Botox certification for TMJ therapy through the American Academy of Facial Esthetics. She is an active member of the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and the Academy of General Dentistry. She formerly served as the official team dentist for UTSA, Trinity University, and St. Mary’s University athletics.
Originally from Kentucky, she brings her love of basketball, horses, and hard work to her practice. San Antonio is now home, inspiring her work with the community. Dentistry for her is a lifelong commitment to helping people feel confident, healthy, and proud of their smiles.
