AboutSmiley Dental

Tin Nguyen, DDS, or just “Dr. Tin,” strives to make quality dentistry accessible and convenient for patients of any age. He also truly enjoys getting to know his patients. Here are a few facts about Dr. Tin, your Maricopa, AZ area general dentist.

Professional Background

Dr. Tin obtained his dental degree in 2003 from Howard University College of Dentistry. Next, he relocated to Parker, AZ where he accepted a position with the Colorado River Indian Tribe as a tribal dentist. Dr. Tin also served as a Lieutenant Commander in the United States Public Health Service from June of 2013 to March of 2018. After receiving an honorable discharge, he opened his private dental practice to serve patients in Maricopa, AZ and Pinal County.

Personal Life

Dr. Tin, his wife Tlan, and his three children have resided in Maricopa since June 2017. His family was drawn to Maricopa because of the city’s small size, room for growth, and the short driving distance to the Greater Phoenix Area and airport. Dr. Tin’s children are currently attending Legacy Traditional School, and all of his team members also live in Maricopa. We love our neighbors and the city, and we feel like we are part of the community. We are here to stay for the long haul.

Philosophy of Dentistry

Because Dr. Tin’s driving personal philosophy is the Golden Rule – treat others as you wish to be treated – he always keeps certain questions in mind when presenting treatment plans to his patients:

• Is the treatment optimal for the patient?
• Is the treatment safe?
• Is there any significant discomfort with the treatment?
• Does the treatment make home care easy?

So, if you ever experience any pain, difficulty enjoying your preferred foods, or embarrassment about your smile, Smiley Dental is here to serve you. Dr. Tin is easy going and extremely gentle. He and his team will work together with you to create a partnership and bring about your healthy smile.
