About Dr. Mark
Dr. Mendlik is a second generation Orthodontist, following in the footsteps of his father, Dr. Gary Mendlik. Dr. Mark Mendlik completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Nebraska where he majored in Biology.

Experienced and Board Certified
Dr. Mendlik is dedicated to providing
outstanding and specialized care for his patients through continued education and training.
Dr. Mendlik has earned the distinguished honor of becoming a board-certified Omaha
orthodontist. Only one in three orthodontists have taken this voluntary step. The
certification process can take a number of years to complete and highlights Dr. Mendlik’s
commitment to providing top-notch care to his patients. Board certification is the highest
level of academic achievement and required Dr. Mendlik to pass a written exam and to have
the results of his treatment cases reviewed by the American Board of
Orthodontists.
In addition, Dr. Mendlik is a member of the American Board of
Orthodontics College of
Diplomates. He has also served as an assistant clinical professor in the Department of
Pediatric
Dentistry and Orthodontics at Creighton University and was a past president of the Omaha
Orthodontic Study Club. Currently, Dr. Mendlik is a member of the Roth/Williams
International
Society of Orthodontics.

Dr. Mendlik was raised in Fremont, NE. When he is not creating beautiful smiles, Dr. Mendlik loves to spend time with his wife, Lisa and their twin teenagers, Dominic and Lauren. As a family, they enjoy spending time outdoors or on the water, going on vacation, giving back to the community and schools through various activities, and playing with their dog, Remi.
Giving Back
Dr. Mendlik is passionate about giving
back to the communities that support him. Mendlik
Orthodontics sponsors various charities, local sports teams, and athletic programs
throughout
the community each year. Dr. Mendlik recognizes the importance of education and is most
proud of the Partners In Education program that he started in 2013. Mendlik Orthodontics
partners with local schools by making a donation to every patient’s school that begins
treatment
in our office. We have been humbled by the countless letters letting us know what the money
has helped to fund for each school. In giving back, we hope to strengthen educational
programs
and opportunities for all students. We are proud to say that Mendlik Orthodontics has
donated
more than $41,500 to the Partners In Education program alone!
