Duke Nguyen

DDS/Owner

Dr. Duke Nguyen, originally from Long Beach, CA, pursued his passion for dentistry after earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Biological Science from UCSD. He met his wife, Lien, during his undergraduate years and married her after completing dental school at UCLA in 2000. Furthering his expertise, he attended the University of Pennsylvania Endodontic program from 2000 to 2002 before returning to San Diego to establish his practice.

Dr. Nguyen’s dedication to dentistry is deeply personal, inspired by his own experience with orthodontic treatment during his youth. He is passionate about helping patients achieve healthy, pain-free smiles, and he finds great satisfaction in relieving their pain. His commitment to excellence is reflected in his membership with the ADA, CDA, and SDCDS, and in his recognition as one of San Diego’s top endodontists by San Diego Magazine almost annually.

Outside of his professional life, Dr. Nguyen enjoys spending time with his wife of 24 years and their four children. He is an avid golfer, traveler, cook, and gardener, growing his own fruits and vegetables. His blend of professional skill and personal dedication makes him a valued member of the South Bay Endodontics team and a trusted figure in the San Diego dental community.
