Dr. Tolleson is excited to bring Tolleson Orthodontics to the same community where he and his family live, play, and serve.

“One of my greatest joys is the role I play in making a positive change in someone else’s life – that is why I love being an orthodontist! My experience in orthodontics has shown me that enhancing a smile and correcting oral function goes much deeper than that – it significantly impacts an individual’s overall health and self-esteem. That is why I am committed to provide the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art, and compassionate care to my patients. A smile is a life-giving gift that you share with the world, and my goal is to see you smile!”

Dr. Tolleson or “Dr. T” enjoys sports of all kinds but more specifically, baseball…..go Rangers!
