A humane treatment philosophy

Built on trust and companionship.

To Dr. Dung, every treatment story begins with two words: Trust and Partnership.

Patients come to him not only for treatment, but to be truly heard and understood—understanding their condition, the journey ahead, and why a specific treatment plan is chosen. Only with genuine understanding and trust can patients embark on their care journey with confidence and peace of mind.

That trust is earned not through words, but through dedicated, responsible partnership throughout the entire journey, guided by the steadfast philosophy of 'Minimally Invasive – Maximum Preservation' to protect as much natural, precious tooth structure as possible.

A journey of inspiration

Spreading positive values

Driven by a vision to reshape community oral health mindsets toward scientific, accurate, and effective care, Dr. Dung firmly believes: when individuals understand and practice proper dental care, then share that knowledge with those around them, they plant seeds of happiness - fostering a healthier Vietnam starting from the smallest habits.

Kindling passion for the profession

Beyond clinical practice, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Dung tirelessly ignites passion among like-minded colleagues. Since 2019, he has delivered over 50 clinical presentations and workshops on Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry under the minimally invasive philosophy across Hanoi, Hue, Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh City, and Can Tho. Joining Van Lang University as a faculty member in 2022 marked a vital milestone: transitioning from clinician to foundational educator for the next generation of dentists.

Future vision

Patient health and aesthetics are the ultimate destination'—guided by this core principle, Dr. Nguyen Thanh Dung is expanding Lux Dental in Ho Chi Minh City, uniting a team of specialists in orthodontics, oral surgery, and implantology.
