Upon receiving his DDS degree in 1998 from the University of Washington, Dr. Winkler's dental career began on active duty in the U.S. Navy. He practiced general dentistry for six years as an AEGD resident, shipboard Dental Officer on USS Denver (LPD9) and comprehensive dentist in Rota, Spain.

In 2010, Dr. Winkler separated from active service and joined Dr. Peter Shapiro as a partner in private practice in Seattle, WA. He continues that practice today, along with teaching orthodontic residents weekly in UW's Orthodontic Department as an Affiliate Associate Professor. Dr. Winkler is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and and active member of the Northwest Angle Society.
