Dr. Bryant Cuong Nguyen, DMD, MPH
Dr. Cuong Nguyen is obsessed with many things including hot sauce (he puts it on almost everything!), the UFC, his french bulldog Gojira and most of all, excellence in dentistry. He has built his incredible reputation for delivering the highest level of dental care to his patients with a gentle touch and calm demeanor. After graduating from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology, he attended the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health where he received his dual degree in Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry and a Master of Public Health.
Born in Indonesia, Dr. Cuong was a Vietnamese refugee and arrived in Los Angeles when he was just nine months old. Due to his humble upbringing, his patients come first. Having dedicated several years of his early professional career caring for the underserved communities in Philadelphia, he takes great pride in always providing a positive, personalized and most importantly a meaningful dental experience for each of his patients.
Dr. Cuong stays on the forefront of the latest advancements in dental technology and treatment. He has received extensive training in dental implants, CEREC technology, the leading solution for same-day crown restorations, and is a Pinhole Certified doctor, a scalpel-free, suture-free, graft-free treatment option for receding gums. He is also working towards his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry.
If he could choose a second career in addition to being a dentist, he would love to be an interior designer! Although he meticulously designed and furnished their home, his wife is often the one who gets the credit. If you are ready for an exceptional dental experience, Dr. Cuong looks forward to creating the smile you’ve always wanted!
