Walton Family Health Center

Walton Family Health Center provides general dental services to patients in the University Heights and surrounding west-central Bronx communities from its clinic at 1894 Walton Ave, The Bronx, NY 10453. Walton Avenue in the 10453 zip code runs through the University Heights and Morris Heights neighborhoods of the west-central Bronx, adjacent to the campuses of Bronx Community College and the University Heights section of New York University's former Bronx campus.

As a family health center, this practice delivers general dental care within a community health-oriented model, with services likely coordinated with primary medical care for a patient population that benefits from integrated health access. Comprehensive oral examinations assess tooth structure, gum tissue health, bite alignment, and the condition of any existing restorations, while coordinating with medical care where oral health has systemic implications for patients managing diabetes, hypertension, or other chronic conditions.

Dental services include professional cleanings that remove calculus and plaque deposits between visits, reducing the risk of gum disease and cavities. For patients with active decay, composite fillings restore tooth integrity. Dental crowns address more significantly damaged teeth, and extractions are performed when preservation is not feasible. Family health center dental programs typically serve patients regardless of ability to pay, with sliding-fee scale options for eligible patients.

Walton Avenue in University Heights is served by the 4 and D trains at the 167th Street and 170th Street stations, and by multiple Bronx bus routes serving the University Heights corridor, making the clinic accessible for patients from across the west-central Bronx. Walton Family Health Center is a community-oriented dental resource for patients in University Heights and the west-central Bronx 10453 community seeking accessible dental care.
