Three practitioners, one integrated practice
Dr. Nathalie Tungesvik, DDS
Founding Dentist
"I absolutely love my job. I loved it over 30 years ago on my very first day, and I still love it today. What I love most about being a dentist is the opportunity to transform people's lives and put a genuine smile on their face."
A graduate of the University of Iowa College of Dentistry, Dr. Tungesvik is a certified Invisalign Provider and one of the nation's top Invisalign Platinum Providers, placing her in the top 5% of cases treated nationwide. She is also a graduate of the Kois Center and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, qualified in oral appliance therapy for snoring and obstructive sleep apnea.
Outside the office, Dr. Tungesvik and her husband Mark, a medical oncologist in Columbia, have three children and several grandchildren. She loves traveling, golf, skiing, hiking, and biking with her family.
Dr. Mollie Lindquist, DDS
Dentist, Invisalign Provider
"For me, dentistry is a fluid combination of science, art, and compassion, all things I love. Integrating those factors into personalized dental treatment is a rewarding challenge that makes me excited to get to work each day."
A 2001 graduate of Jefferson City High School, Dr. Lindquist earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry and is an Invisalign Provider.
She and her husband Jon have three sons and a daughter. Outside of dentistry, she enjoys the outdoors, baking, and spending time with her family in the community she grew up in.
Dr. Elana York, DDS
Dentist
"As a child, when someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I always said 'a dentist,' even from a very young age. Dentistry provides me so much joy and gratification. I truly enjoy helping people and creating lifelong relationships with my patients."
Dr. York grew up in Dixon, Missouri, not far from Jefferson City. She attended Lincoln University before continuing her dental education in the Chicago suburbs.
With most of her family in Jefferson City, she is thrilled to be back home. She has three daughters and a wonderful husband, and enjoys reading, CrossFit, traveling, and photography in her free time.
