Dr. Hannah Lindqvist, DMD

Dr. Hannah Lindqvist trained and served as a surgeon in the U.S. Navy Dental Corps before joining Molly. She earned her DMD at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine on a Navy scholarship, completed her oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego, and then served at Camp Pendleton. When she left active duty in 2015, she joined Molly Carlsbad the year it opened, and she still sees many military families from the base.

Her focus is implant surgery from a single tooth to a full arch. She plans every case on a 3D CBCT scan, uses surgical guides when they improve accuracy, and performs sinus lifts and bone grafts when the jaw needs more bone first. For full-arch patients in North County she works with Dr. Ethan Park, Molly’s prosthodontist in Carlsbad and La Jolla, so the teeth are designed before surgery begins. She also operates at Molly Carmel Valley.

Dr. Lindqvist is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Patients say she is organized and reassuring. She gives each one a printed timeline from consultation to final teeth, with the healing time between stages spelled out, and she is candid about which steps are optional and which are not.
