Dr Clayton Paul Windham

Dr. Clayton Paul Windham is a native of Shelby County. He grew up in Center, Texas with his parents and sister. As a young boy, he loved being active outdoors, being involved in the community and spending time with his family. He achieved his Eagle Scout badge after years of service in the Boy Scouts of America in 2005 and later graduated from Center high school in 2005 with honors. After high school Dr. Clayton went on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Texas A&M University with a Bachelors of Science in Biology in 2008. It was there that his passion for dentistry and helping others grew through various dental clubs and mission trips. One of his favorite times was volunteering for The Texas Mission of Mercy, an organization that offers free dental care at different venues throughout the state. This experience allowed him to see just how dentistry can impact lives in a positive way, and reinforced his desire to care for others in this setting. Dr. Clayton attended the University Of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio for his Doctor of Dental Surgery education. There he was able to hone his skills as a clinician and graduated in 2012. Dr. Clayton is an active member in the American Dental Association, Texas Dental Association, East Texas Dental Society and Pineywoods Dental Study Club. He continues his education any chance he gets with Spear University, The Pankey Institute, Arrowhead Dental Laboratory and local study clubs focusing on occlusal therapy and disorders of the TMJ. Dr. Clayton chose dentistry for many reasons. First, he saw how much his parents enjoyed their profession. He felt their passion and he knew very early in life that dentistry was a fulfilling career. Furthermore, his caring nature comes naturally and is a trait he feels is important to have when caring for patients every day. Dentistry allows him a unique avenue to help patients in ways that not many others can. Restoring smiles, confidence and most importantly, health, is the main focus of his practice. He has been proud to serve the residents of Shelby County and beyond since 2012, and plans to continue providing exceptional care that is patient focused for many decades to come. Dr. Clayton feels fortunate to be able to walk in his father’s footsteps and carry on the values that are synonymous with their name. Dr. Clayton is married to his wife, Jackie and they have two wonderful children, Everly and Liam. When not having fun at the office he enjoys gardening, beekeeping, flying and spending time with his family.
