Dr. Nguyen received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from Texas A&M Health Science Center’s Baylor College of Dentistry in 2004 and immediately launched his own practice. Recognizing that true excellence in patient care demands mastery across all areas of dentistry, he has since devoted himself to extensive postgraduate training nationwide.
His advanced implant education includes coursework through the Medical College of Georgia and the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. Today, he is among just sixteen general dentists in Texas to hold Diplomate status with the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry. He is also a Fellow of the AAID, credentials that reflect his unwavering commitment to going well beyond standard continuing‐education requirements.
Over the past 15 years, Dr. Nguyen has noticed a recurring issue with many of his patients—unexplained chronic pain and ongoing dental problems like infections, sensitive gums, cracked teeth, and failed restorations. To get to the root of these issues, he sought out top experts in neuromuscular dentistry and sleep medicine to better understand the connection between dental health and overall well-being.
His commitment to learning has led him to complete thousands of hours of advanced training, including over 200 hours at renowned institutions focused on TMJ/TMD pain, craniomandibular dysfunction, sleep apnea, orthodontics, and advanced restorative treatments. This extensive education allows Dr. Nguyen to take a holistic approach in diagnosing and treating complex dental concerns.
With more than 15 years of experience in the Dallas metroplex, Dr. Nguyen blends an artist’s touch with cutting-edge technology to deliver truly personalized, minimally invasive care. His extensive training in neuromuscular dentistry and physiologic occlusion, combined with multi-specialty expertise, allows him to tackle complex issues like TMJ disorders and obstructive sleep apnea through a whole‑body, integrative approach.
By choice, he remains a general practitioner and refuses to be limited by any single specialty so he can guide patients toward lasting stability, optimal function, and healthy form. Driven by a passion for uncovering the root causes of pain, Dr. Nguyen offers clear treatment options that go beyond “fixing teeth” to help people reclaim their health and enjoy fuller, happier lives.
Dr. Nguyen is committed to treating his patients as a whole, emphasizing the connection between oral health and overall wellness. “The mouth isn’t just about teeth—it’s the gateway to your entire body,” he believes.
With a deep understanding of how a healthy, beautiful smile can impact one’s life, Dr. Nguyen continually strives to improve his patients’ well-being by providing aesthetically pleasing smiles and functional, comfortable solutions that stand the test of time. His goal is to help each patient achieve lasting health and confidence, inside and out.
Choosing an AAID‑credentialed implant dentist guarantees you’re entrusting your care to someone who has completed intensive education, hands-on training, and rigorous assessments to earn their Fellowship.
Those AAID Fellows and Associate Fellows who wish to further affirm their expertise can pursue Diplomate status through the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry (ABOI/ID), founded in 1969 to establish and maintain the pinnacle of implant proficiency. Dr. Nguyen’s recognition as an ABOI/ID Diplomate confirms his mastery of implant dentistry’s most advanced techniques and underscores his commitment to delivering outstanding patient care.
From childhood afternoons spent in his family’s dental lab to today’s fast-paced practice, Dr. Cory Nguyen DDS brings a lifetime of dental immersion to his work. At home, he and his wife Michelle keep up with their three energetic sons—Nolan (10), Nathan (6), and Nelson (5)—cheering at school events, grilling out with friends, or belting out karaoke by the pool.
Actively involved in their church and community sports leagues, the Nguyens also carve out time for beach getaways whenever possible. Ever the lifelong learner, Dr. Nguyen devours the latest in dental innovations and health technologies, and you’ll often find him catching a game, especially when the Dallas Cowboys take the field. GO COWBOYS!
