Our Team

Dr. Ryley Tolman
General Dentist

A born and raised Albertan, Dr. Tolman is originally from a small town called Cardston. He swiftly headed south of the border to pursue dream of dentistry, graduating from the University of Detroit Mercy. Although he loves all aspects of dentistry, Dr. Tolman enjoys providing crowns, bridges, Invisalign treatments, and root canal therapy treatments. Perhaps the reason he loves to do root canals is because saving natural teeth has always been important to him! Dr. Tolman often says, “A natural tooth is the best tooth”. He is a proud member of the ADA&C and he enjoys learning about the latest advancements in Dental technology.

Dr. Tolman enjoys engaging with his patients, truly getting to know them so he can understand their unique needs. He loves allowing his patients to get to know him on a personal level, so it comes as no surprise that the thing he loves most about coming to work is meeting new people and interacting with his patients.

Known for having a soft spot for animals, particularly cats, Dr. Tolman enjoys giving back to organizations that help our furry friends. He is an ardent supporter of the Saving Grace Animal Society. Ever the adventurous type, Dr. Tolman lived in Ecuador for two years and is fluent in Spanish. He gets particularly excited when presented with the opportunity to converse with a patient in Spanish. Dr. Tolman LOVES making balloon animals, and never misses an opportunity to make them for his patients. He loves spending time outdoors with his wife and 4 children. One of his favourite hobbies is producing a plan to lose weight… but quickly falling off the wagon as he is an excellent cook! If it’s the weekend you will most likely find him smoking an oversized cut of Alberta beef from the local butcher. He is a jack of all trades, from excellent woodworking skills to cooking to playing one of many musical instruments!

Dr. Jesse Johnson
General Dentist

Dr. Jesse Johnson was born and raised in Southern Alberta. He served his church mission in Australia and shortly after his return to Canada he met and married his lovely wife, Angie. They share 3 beautiful children, and together they reside in Raymond, Alberta.

During Dr. Jesse’s missions trip, he grew a profound love for Australia and decided to return and complete dental school there. Dr. Jesse was accepted in both medical and dental school however he ultimately decided to pursue dentistry because of his deep-rooted passion for it. As beautiful as it was in Australia, Dr. Jesse and his wife are Southern Alberta people at heart and are excited to start their lifelong journey promoting dental health in our community.

Dr. Scott Walburger
General Dentist

Growing up on the family farm just outside of Cardston, AB, Dr. Walburger knew he wanted to work with his hands, so he started his first dental career as a denturist. The surgical aspect of replacing missing teeth with implant-supported dentures was fascinating to him, so he went back to school to become a dentist, pursuing his Bachelor of Science from Lethbridge University and then earning his doctorate from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry.

As a Lethbridge dentist, Dr. Walburger looks at the mouth as a whole—as a reflection of your oral and overall health and with an eye to how he can address your concerns and desires. Getting to know you and your individual needs is Dr. Walburger’s priority so he can not only create the healthy smile you want but also tailor your dental experience to meet your individual needs.

Dr. Walburger and his wife and three children love living in Southern Alberta. It’s a great place to be active in a variety of indoor and outdoor pursuits. The kids enjoy playing soccer, volleyball, and football as well as playing piano and creating beautiful art. Dr. Walburger loves to tinker and always has a project on the go. Some of his hobbies include riding motorcycles and boating in the summer. In winter, he enjoys snowmobiling and playing with the kids and the family dog—a French bulldog named Gus.
