Dr. James R. Boynton completed his undergraduate, dental school, and pediatric dentistry residency training all at the University of Michigan. He has served on the faculty at the University of Michigan since 2005 and has served as the head of pediatric dentistry at the School of Dentistry and at Mott Children’s Hospital since 2009, where he has helped to teach more than 1,000 general dentists and dozens of pediatric dental specialists how best to care for children. A board-certified specialist and Diplomate, he is a board examiner for the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry and has co-authored dozens of scientific articles and abstracts.
The most fulfilling part of his career has always been practicing pediatric dentistry: helping his young patients grow up with healthy smiles and positive attitudes about dental care.
Dr. Boynton has lived in the Ann Arbor area for nearly 20 years and has two daughters in school here.
He practices at the St. Joseph Mercy Surgery Center in Canton, where he provides care for many of our patients who require dental care under general anesthesia. He is thrilled to partner with parents in our practice to deliver the best oral health care possible for their children.
