Sutton Dental & Braces, a Benevis-supported dental practice, has reopened its Bridgeport, Connecticut, practice and welcomed a permanent, full-time dentist to the office.
Dr. Nhuoc Lan Victoria Nguyen arrived on July 31 as a permanent dentist for the Bridgeport office. Previously, other Sutton Dental & Braces dentists rotated through the practice to continue providing care to patients. Despite not having a full-time doctor, the office fulfilled more than 4,100 appointments over the past year.
“I am excited to join Benevis as I believe in its mission to provide a dental home and superior care to children and their families in underserved communities,” said Nguyen. “In particular, I am proud to serve the Bridgeport community, which includes almost 103,000 children who are covered by Medicaid, indicating we can do more to serve local kids and their families for their dental needs as oral care is health care too.”
Nguyen received her DDS degree from New York University and her Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Toronto.
