Determined to give her patients the best treatment possible, she continued her studies, finishing a three years course in Craniomandibular Orthodontics and Occlusion Medicine under the guidance of professor Sadao Sato and Dr Heike Kramer at the Interdisciplinary Dental Education Academy in San Francisco where she is currently a member of the study club. With this approach, many otherwise surgical cases such as open bite, mandibular deviation can be treated successfully.
Always passionate about the artistic side of dentistry, she completed her training about biomimetic and esthetic dentistry with the masters in the field, Dr. Pascal Magne and Dr. Didier Deitschi. Biomimetic concept in dentistry is a minimum invasive technique where thinly bonded restorations not only mimic the natural beauty of the tooth butalso preserves the tooth structure and improve the longevity of the restoration.
A Maryland local for well over two decades, Dr. Nguyen has been practicing dentistry in Maryland since 1990. Growing up in a large family, the fourth of seven children, caring for others, and being family-focused has always come naturally in her approach to dentistry.
Dr. Nguyen graduated from Indiana University in 1984 with a BS degree in Biology. She then went on to complete her Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 1988. Her love of learning continues in her dedication to the newest advancements in dentistry, always utilizing the most-up-to-date knowledge, techniques and technologies to keep her practice on the leading edge within the field.
Beyond her technical expertise and detail-oriented approach, Dr. Nguyen prides herself in creating an environment and experience for her patients that is both calming and friendly. For her, understanding her patients needs and concerns is vital for delivering the best results. Always approachable and professional, Dr. Kim is usually found, besides working on a dental treatment, with her patients either explaining a treatment protocol, teaching them breathing techniques for relaxation, or giving dental health advises.
Dr Kim Nguyen has been actively involved in her communities by volunteering in dental missions in areas of Virginia, Maryland every year. She also does international volunteer programs, especially in Vietnam, helping the underserved populations.
