Dr.Paxon
Your Penticton Orthodontist

Dr. Jonathan Paxon

I’m proud to call the Okanagan home! After 18 years away pursuing advanced studies and professional opportunities, I returned to Penticton. Growing up here, I was inspired by my father's 30-year dental practice and his strong connection to the community.

With a deep appreciation for the dynamic and ever-evolving field of orthodontics, I’m dedicated to achieving the best possible outcomes for my patients. I enjoy the challenge of designing customized treatment plans that transform smiles and enhance lives. I focus on personalized care that ensures that each patient receives the highest quality of orthodontic treatment, resulting in stunning, healthy smiles.
