Calvin Nguyen DDS
As a dentist with more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Calvin Nguyen’s first and foremost philosophy is to treat every patient like a family member. When you become his patient, his first concern is “What would I do if it was my tooth or my sister’s?” That’s why among his patients he is well known for being caring, meticulous and very gentle with numbing.
Dr. Nguyen grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana and received his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1995 at Louisiana State University School of Dentistry. Upon graduation he received the “Outstanding General Dentistry” recognition awarded by the LSU faculty staff. Dr Nguyen furthered his education with a 2-year General Practice Residency at Charity Hospital in New Orleans. During his residency he was a part-time clinical instructor at LSU School of Dentistry and was selected by the staff to serve on the “Cultural Diversity Panel.” Dr. Nguyen also received his license to practice intravenous sedation and ACLS (Advanced Cardiac Life Support) certified. He practiced for 2 years in New Orleans performing complex restorative and surgical dental procedures along with IV sedation cases. Dr Nguyen also volunteered to do dentistry in underserved communities in New Orleans.
In 1999 Dr. Nguyen was seeking a professional change and moved to Northern Virginia where he practiced in Fairfax and Alexandria until 2010 when he decided to open his own practice at Franklin Dental in Herndon. Now Dr. Nguyen focuses more on cosmetic dentistry and Invisalign.
During his free time, Dr. Nguyen loves to play tennis (watch out for his lefty serve and forehand) and is also passionate about music from the Beatles to Beethoven. He plays both the guitar and piano since he was 10 yrs old and enjoys performing for fun with his nephews for special events like family weddings. You can best chat with him about jazz, blues, classical, and classic rock. If he’s not playing doubles or jamming on his guitar, you’ll likely catch him enjoying a glass of cabernet.
Dr Nguyen lives with his wife and twin girls in the Clifton area.

He maintains the latest advancement in dentistry by constantly taking continuing education courses to keep up with the newest technological advancements as well as latest methods, ensuring the best treatment plan geared for each patient’s specific needs.
Dr. Hanson's inspiration to enter the field of dentistry came after a fellowship in his dentist's office and noticed the health benefit and impact his former dentist had on each patient. Similar to his own dentist, Dr. Hanson wants to make sure that each patient is comfortable and relaxed when in the dental chair.
Dr. Hanson is a graduate of Hofstra University with a bachelor’s degree in science and was subsequently accepted into the University At Buffalo Dental Program. He earned his degree in 2005 and with a year of residency at Sunny Downstate was beginning to become a well-rounded dentist.

In addition to his role as a family dentist, he is happily married and a proud father of two boys who keep him busy.
