Dr. Jerrold Johnson came to the Kitsap Penninsula in 2004, joining with Dr. Siegfried Naumann tocreate Naumann Johnson Orthodontics. The following year, Dr. Jeff Lingenbrink moved back to the area (having grown up in Silverdale and having completed his orthodontic residency in St. Louis) and joined with Dr. Trent Rencher in Poulsbo. After Dr. Rencher retired, Dr. Lingenbrink took over the practice and changed its name to Link Orthodontics. In 2015, as Dr. Naumann was in the process of retiring, Dr. Johnson and Dr. Lingenbrink merged the two practices to form Johnsonlink Orthodontics.

With the merger of the two practices, Johnsonlink Orthodontics now hasoffices in Silverdale, Port Orchard, Poulsbo, and Bainbridge Island. The best part of our offices, however, are the people inside them. We have been fortunate to find the most courteous, professional and skilled team of office and clinical staff that you will find.
