Meet Dr. Tran and Dr. Nguyen

Binh B. Tran, D.D.S.

Dr. Tran went to college at the University of California-Riverside and graduated with a bachelor of science in Biochemistry. She went on to pursue dentistry at Creighton University in Omaha, NE. At Creighton, Dr Tran received extensive training in operative dentistry with an emphasis on taking care of the underserved in Nebraska.

Dr. Tran enjoys all phases of dentistry with an emphasis on children and the special needs. In addition, she works with local dental anesthesiologists and treats children, adults, and the special needs under IV sedation.

Both Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Tran grew up in San Diego but have made Tucson their home since 2001. After working in various group practices, they began their own practice in 2006. Because of their genuinely caring and pleasant manner, many patients have been taken care of by both doctors for almost 15 years. As a husband and wife team, the doctors work together to ensure the best outcomes for their patients. Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Tran are experienced at seeing patients of all ages and those who are are medically compromised, have anxiety about dental treatment, and the special needs.

T. Paul Nguyen, D.M.D.

Dr. Nguyen graduated from the University of California-Santa Barbara with majors in English and Biological Sciences. While in college, Dr. Nguyen worked as a residential counselor for developmentally disabled and emotionally challenged adolescents and teens at the Devereaux Foundation. It was at Devereaux that Dr. Nguyen became interested in healthcare specifically dentistry. He saw how his special needs clients lacked access to dental care and were fearful when receiving dental work. He hoped that one day he would make dentistry less fearful and less painful for all patients.
