Meet

Alice Nguyen, DMD

“Dentistry shouldn’t feel scary or overwhelming, but it should feel healing and supportive.”

Dr. Alice Nguyen brings a gentle, thoughtful, and detail-oriented approach to patient care at Lotus Dental Wellness. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) and is committed to lifelong learning and clinical excellence.

Dr. Nguyen was awarded the prestigious Oregon Academy of General Dentistry (OAGD) scholarship for the 5-year fellowship track and is currently advancing through both the Fellowship and Mastership tracks. She has also completed a one-year implant training program through the Implants Study Club, further strengthening her foundation in restorative and implant dentistry.

Her approach to care is rooted in empathy, clarity, and trust. Dr. Nguyen treats every patient as she would her own family — honoring their time, listening deeply to their concerns, and providing evidence-based treatment options that support long-term oral and overall health.

She understands that many patients carry past dental trauma. That awareness shapes how she practices. Dr. Nguyen intentionally creates a calm and supportive environment where patients feel heard, informed, and in control. She carefully explains each step, offers thoughtful alternatives when appropriate, and works collaboratively with patients to minimize anxiety and build confidence — visit by visit.

Dr. Nguyen was drawn to Lotus Dental Wellness because of its commitment to holistic and biological dentistry — treating the whole person, not just the teeth. The integration of advanced technology, research-based protocols, and a compassionate, attentive team aligns seamlessly with her own philosophy of delivering gentle, comprehensive, and wellness-centered care.

She believes dentistry should never feel overwhelming. It should feel healing and supportive.

Patients often describe Dr. Nguyen as gentle, calming, thorough, and patient. Her goal is for every individual to leave feeling cared for, empowered, and confident in their path toward balanced oral health.

Outside the office, Dr. Nguyen enjoys traveling and exploring new cultures, spending time in peaceful environments like Japanese gardens, reading, walking outdoors, and experimenting with healthy recipes. With a background in art and biochemistry engineering, she appreciates both the science and artistry of dentistry — and if she weren’t a dentist, she might have pursued fine-dining culinary arts.

At Lotus Dental Wellness, Dr. Nguyen is proud to be part of a team dedicated to delivering advanced, whole-body dental care with precision, integrity, and heart.
