Meet Dr. Nina Hyvarinen Jones
Originally from Helsinki, Finland, Dr. Nina Hyvarinen Jones spent most of her childhood in Florida. She received her undergraduate degrees with honors in biology and psychology from Florida State University. Her passion for service then led her to join Teach For America, where she taught middle and high school science for four years in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Jones then decided to pursue a career in dentistry in order to further serve those in need.
She earned her DDS at New York University College of Dentistry where she graduated at the top of her class and was recognized with several awards for her clinical and didactic talents and leadership. While there she also participated in several community outreaches, served as a teaching assistant to other dental students, and completed an honors program in special patient care, as well as a certificate in public health. After graduation, she continued her education by completing a rigorous residency at NYU Langone Hospital – Brooklyn, including advanced training in all fields of dentistry.
Following the birth of her daughter Emilia, she and her husband David decided to make South Carolina home. She is a member of the American Dental Association and the South Carolina Dental Association, and takes part in numerous continuing education courses each year to refine and expand her craft. One of her passions is digital dentistry. She is excited to lead the Blythewood Village Dentistry team and serve the Blythewood community!
Meet Dr. Karen Wurster
Since Dr. Karen Wurster became a dentist in 2017, she has loved changing lives through art. Her creative eye enables her to see exactly what is needed to make a patient’s smile exceptional. It could be balancing someone’s teeth through shape, length, texture, or color, or simply restoring what was once there.
Dr. Wurster achieved her DMD at the University of South Carolina. Her passion for better serving her patients has led her to continuing education opportunities through the American Dental Association and the Kois Center.
Dr. Wurster begins each relationship with her patient by asking what they love about their smile and what they want to change. Rather than telling a patient what they need, she listens to them and then shares what’s possible. She guides each patient through that process. Her goal is giving a patient the ability to confidently smile, eat, or speak.
One of the highlights of Dr. Wurster’s day is creating the vision a patient has of their future smile, or restoring someone’s ability to eat their favorite meal again. She loves when a patient becomes like family, so she can enjoy that gift of helping them that much more.
Away from the practice, Dr. Wurster enjoys spending time with her fiancé, future stepdaughter, and their three four-legged children, including two cats Penelope and Palmer and a dog named Huckleberry. All rescues!
Dr. Wurster is a huge foodie and loves trying new restaurants. Wherever she travels, she searches for the best restaurants to visit. During the evenings, you will likely find her in her yard, obsessing with all things gardening (flowers, not crops!). She recently won “yard of the month,” further fueling her passion. In addition, she is passionate about interior design. She purchased a 100-year-old home in 2019 and spends her free time redesigning rooms while maintaining its original charm.
