patient care
Dr. Lynskey and her staff are committed to excellence, both personally and professionally. We are focused on being patient friendly, both in the personal relationships we form with our patients and their families, as well as with the orthodontic techniques we utilize. Dr. Lynskey and her team are highly trained in the most innovative treatment techniques and utilizing state of the art equipment to provide superior care and customer service.
Here's what “Sets Us Apart from the Rest” :
Excellence in Orthodontics: Dr Lynskey teaches at UCSF regularly, is a diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontists, and offers Continuing Education classes to her staff and local dentists.
Our Orthodontic Team: All of the clinical assistants are Registered Dental Assistants, requiring extensive training before treating patients. Both our administrative staff and clinical RDA’s are long-term employees that each undergo 4 hours of Continuing Education monthly to ensure that everyone is up-to-date in the latest orthodontic technology and services.
Cutting edge technology: Our office is technologically advanced; including digital photography, x-rays, digital models, and chartless patient records.
Damon/ Innovation-C Self-ligating Braces: Self-ligating braces allow teeth to move quicker, more comfortably, with better hygiene and esthetics, reducing overall appt times and treatment times.
Meticulous Safety Standards: Our patients can be assured that we follow all OSHA guidelines for sterilization techniques, and radiation safety. Additionally, we follow strict HIPPA and state guidelines regarding the safeguard of your personal information.

Invisalign Premier Provider: In addition to teaching Invisalign at UCSf, Dr Lynskey tests new products for Invisalign, such as Invisalign Teen. Dr Lynskey has been a Premier Provider since 2004.
Complimentary retention Phase: All patients undergoing active orthodontics are seen for up to 18 months after treatment to ensure long-term results. Fixed, or permanent, orthodontic retainers maintain straight teeth and minimize the hassle of retainer loss or breakage. Patients are encouraged to DESIGN their OWN RETAINERS with pictures, logos, etc to show off your individualism.
Optimum treatment timing: This allows Dr. Lynskey to determine the best time to start treatment. Optimum treatment timing can decrease cost, time in braces, and reduces the risk of permanent tooth extraction.
Kids Club: If your child is not yet ready to begin treatment, they are invited to be a member of The Lynskey Lion Club while they are in the Pre-orthodontic Guidance Phase. Our Kids Club encourages children to improve their dental health before orthodontic treatment is necessary, advocating a lifetime of excellent oral health.
At Dr. Lynskey's office beautiful smiles are created in a laid-back, yet professional atmosphere. Modern orthodontics can enhance your appearance, overall dental health & function, and self-esteem.
Dr. Lynskey wants to be accessible to her patients at all times. If you have any orthodontic questions, please feel free to email her at drlynskey@stunningsmile.com

Dr. Victoria Lynskey
Hi I’m Dr Lynskey and I feel very blessed to be an orthodontist! I absolutely love what I do and feel blessed every day to meet such interesting adults, great kids and families. Then I get to go on a journey, creating stunning smiles that will last a lifetime. What else could be better?
I began my orthodontic career in Nashville, TN working for a large multi-office group before relocating to California. For 4 years I managed a practice in Castro Valley before I chose to start my practice here in Santa Rosa. I selected Santa Rosa because of the wonderful weather, which is important since my favorite activities take place outside…swimming, biking and running.
I opened my Santa Rosa practice in 2003 and soon moved into our current office, filled with all the high-tech toys we orthodontists need for diagnosing and treating our patients. The staff and I, as well as our patients, have a lot of fun here and hope you have a wonderful experience as well. On a personal note, I spend time away from the office training for triathlons. I also enjoy cooking, hiking, and spending time with friends & family.
I am a diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics, and a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, and their state and local alliances. In addition, I am active in local community organizations, including Treasurer of Girls on the Run Sonoma County and a member of Leadership Santa Rosa, Class 25. A mission of my office is to continually give back to this community with personal and office commitments. Each year we as an office participate in multiple community events…Kidspree and the Human Race to name just two. In 2009 our office founded makesomeonesmile.org, a local non-profit fundraising site devoted to raising money for local low-income children to receive necessary dental care. We’d love to have you join us in celebrating Sonoma County!
Mackenzie, Treatment Coordinator and Office Manager
Hi….my name is Mackenzie and I am Dr. Lynskey’s Treatment Coordinator and Office Manager. Before becoming the first member of Dr. Lynskey’s team in 2004 I worked in a large general dentistry office. My job duties include welcoming and educating New Patients and their families, as well as helping navigate the challenges of insurance benefits. We, as a team, like to think of this office as our home, and strive for you to feel like you are guests in our home. Coming to a doctor’s office for the first time can be overwhelming for some, so I make sure I am always there with a big smile to help you feel welcome.
In addition to my regular work in the office, I coordinate our Continuing Education Seminars where we educate local dentists on current topics in dentistry and orthodontics. I also regularly contribute to our blogs, Facebook and MySpace sites by answering frequently asked questions about insurance or finances or scheduling…anything related to the business side of your orthodontic care.
The love of my life is my son Daniel who was born in 2003. Because family is so important to me when I am not at work I am with him and my large extended family. I was raised here in Santa Rosa. As you will learn, I am very social and love to have a good time. You can say that I am a "tom boy" because I love sports (especially football and more importantly, the Raiders), and anything adventurous (four wheeling, paintballing, rafting, skiing/snowboarding, etc.) I haven’t gone skydiving yet but that is my next adventure.
Nora, Appointment Coordinator
Hi... my name is Nora and I am the Appointment Coordinator. I am your “go to” girl when you need to schedule (or reschedule) your appointments. When you arrive for your appointment my goal is to get you in and out of the office so you will not be waiting for long. In the reception area I prepare seasonal beverages, such as our warm apple cider in the Fall or our “Love Potion” or “Leprechaun Brew” in the Springtime.
I have been in the dental field for a few years and fell in love with it because I always get to meet so many new people and build so many wonderful relationships. My sister is an RDA and I hope to follow in her footsteps one day.
I was born and raised in Santa Rosa. I have a fox terrier named Coco and daughter Bindi who is a toddler! She is so amazing and a wonderful blessing to my life. In my spare time I’m always hanging out with my family or friends, going out to eat, or catching a movie! I look forward to seeing you soon and helping to make your orthodontic experience the BEST EVER!
