Dr. Walker Swaney
D.D.S
Launching his dental journey in Oxford in 1975, Dr. Swaney has witnessed and embraced the dynamic evolution of dentistry over nearly half a century. Since the foundation of Oxford Dental in 1983, he has had the privilege of treating multiple generations within families, some of whom have been with him from the very start.
A seasoned professional, Dr. Swaney is affiliated with numerous esteemed dental associations, including the American Dental Association, Mississippi Dental Association, American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and many more. The uniqueness of Oxford Dental, enriched by its patient-focused approach, exceptional team, and committed patrons, holds a special place in his heart.
Community involvement runs deep in Dr. Swaney's veins. He has contributed extensively both abroad, with dental mission trips to Honduras, and locally as a dedicated Rotarian for 35 years and a co-founder of the Oxford Youth Baseball Association. His passion for music shines through as a cherished member of the O U Methodist Church choir for over four decades and performances at the Ford Center at Ole Miss.
On a personal note, Dr. Swaney cherishes the tranquility of nature, be it hunting or fishing. His three children - Walker J., Sara Love, and Mary Linley - fill him with pride. But it's the delightful presence of his seven "GRANDchildren" and the unwavering support of his wife Molissia, his partner for 52 years, that completes his world.
Above all, Dr. Swaney attributes his health, success, and the blessings in his life to divine grace.
