Credentials

Education & Training

Board Certification in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Board certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery means a surgeon has passed rigorous written and oral exams beyond the standard requirements to earn a dental degree and complete a hospital-based residency. For patients, it is a meaningful benchmark of surgical training and ongoing professional accountability. Dr. Nguyen holds this credential alongside his colleagues, Dr. Vincent Coviello and Dr. Eric Starley.

Dr. Nguyen's oral surgery expertise in Winchester, VA covers a wide range of procedures. Whether a patient needs a routine extraction or a complex reconstructive case, he has the training to handle it.

Implant & Dentoalveolar Surgery

Orthognathic Surgery, TMJ & Facial Trauma

Oral Pathology & Head and Neck Care
