Dr. Timothy Tufankjian
Dr. Tufankjian studied Dentistry at SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. He graduated with his doctorate in 2003 and began his career practicing in New Jersey. In early 2005, he relocated to the Hudson Valley where he began practicing as a full time associate in a well established practice in Kingston, New York. In 2011 Dr. Tufankjian purchased the practice of Dr. Richard Whalen in Hyde Park, New York, where he plans to continue the tradition of excellent care for patients in this area. Dr. Tufankjian’s practice philosophy is to provide patients with the highest standard of care possible. He accomplishes this by taking the time needed to make his patients comfortable and provide them with treatment that will be esthetically pleasing and stand the test of time. He prides himself on taking many hours of continuing education classes to help him stay on the forefront of modern dentistry. There are many exciting new advances in dentistry that Dr. Tufankjian is eager to bring to his practice, including dental implants and invisible braces.

When he is not improving the lives of patients through dentistry, Dr Tufankjian enjoys spending time with skiing in the winter, and mountain biking in the summer.
