Christopher Walinski

Dr. Chris Walinski is an internationally recognized dental educator, author, and health advocate. With over 30 years of clinical and academic experience, he is a pioneer in laser dentistry and minimally invasive esthetics. Dr. Walinski has lectured in almost 50 countries and published many peer-reviewed papers and textbook chapters on the oral-systemic connection and overall wellness.

Dr. Walinski is also a passionate advocate for prostate cancer awareness. As a Stage IV prostate cancer patient himself, he founded the 1000 Cranes Project, a nonprofit focused on education and support for others affected by the disease. His advocacy emphasizes nutrition and the most current scientific research available.

His passion for health and wellness extends beyond oral care. A highlight was when he appeared on FOX’s MasterChef in 2024, cooking under the demanding eye of Chef Gordon Ramsay. He uses his years of experience in the kitchen and in research to explain the most complex concepts easily.
