The dentist who understands dental anxiety
As a kid, Dr. Nguyen had dental work done before he was numb. He never forgot it. So he became the dentist he needed that day: patient, gentle, and committed to making sure no one feels pain or goes unheard.
What he focuses on
Dr. Nguyen handles our root canals and clear aligner treatment. He's Invisalign Certified and teaches other dentists about clear aligners through CandidPro.
His story
One emergency dental visit as a child left a mark Dr. Nguyen can still feel in the chair today. Instead of running from it, he made it his calling: be the dentist he wished he'd had.
His favorite thing a patient can say? 'That wasn't as bad as I thought.' Some even doze off in the chair. That's when he knows he's done his job."
Outside the office
Dr. Nguyen grew up in Arizona and moved to Las Vegas for dental school. It's been home ever since. He's married with a young son. Off the clock he mentors dental students, tastes teas, plays badminton, watches basketball, and hosts board game nights.
