Meet Dr. Tingey

With over 25 years of experience, Dr. MacKay Tingey brings a blend of expertise, innovation, and compassion to every smile he helps create. After earning degrees in both biology and German at Brigham Young University, he completed his dental training at the University of Washington, where he graduated top of his class, and went on to receive his Master of Science in Oral Biology and Certificate in Orthodontics from Baylor College of Dentistry.

Dr. Tingey is known for his evidence-based care and personable approach. He specializes in early orthodontic treatment, adult care, clear aligner therapy, and airway-focused solutions like sleep apnea treatment. His philosophy—“Do the right thing at the right time for the right reasons to get the best results”—guides every aspect of his practice.

Outside the office, Dr. Tingey is an adventurer at heart. He enjoys mountain biking, fly fishing, traveling, working out, baking artisan bread, and playing the guitar and piano. He and his wife, Shelly, have been married for over three decades and are proud parents and grandparents. Whether supporting local schools, mentoring youth, or organizing food and toy drives, Dr. Tingey’s commitment to doing good extends far beyond the clinic.

He believes orthodontics isn’t just about straight teeth—it’s about building confidence, connection, and community, one smile at a time.
