Dr. Jeffrey C. Lingenbrink, DDS, MSD
A little about me...
I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and moved to Silverdale, Washington when I was seven years old. I graduated from Central Kitsap High School, where I played varsity basketball and baseball. I then began my studies at Brigham Young University where I received a Bachelor's Degree in Human Biology.
I loved living in Utah, but was excited to return to Seattle to attend dental school at the University of Washington where I earned a DDS degree. During my senior year in dental school, I met my wife Britney. She was working full time as a cardiac nurse at a hospital in Bellevue. Shortly after graduating and getting married, we moved to Missouri. I was an orthodontic resident at Saint Louis University, where I received a Master's Degree in Orthodontics . We loved the midwest and will cherish wonderful memories with fellow residents and instructors who all became great friends.
Upon graduating, we were eager to move back to the Kitsap Peninsula to be near family and friends. We have four daughters: Madison, Camryn, Jordan, and Sydney who bring us great joy. In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball and softball, playing the piano and guitar, and cooking Thai food with my family.
I love orthodontics because...
Having braces personally increased my self esteem when I was a teenager. I knew early on that that I wanted this change for others and so I pursued orthodontics as a career. Along with my wonderful staff, I enjoy treating both kids and adults to improve their smiles and make their lives happier.
