Board-Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon · Philadelphia, PA
Board-Certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
Dr. Cyndi Nguyen is a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and the founder of Philadelphia Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, a fully digital surgical center in the heart of Northern Liberties serving patients across Philadelphia and South New Jersey.
Her path is uncommon — and it's exactly what sets her apart. Dr. Nguyen earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry in 1997, graduating with distinguished awards in Prosthodontics, Endodontics, and Operative Dentistry. She then practiced as a general dentist for nearly 13 years before completing a rigorous five-year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Temple University Hospital. That dual background — a restorative dentist's eye paired with a surgeon's hands — gives her patients a level of comprehensive, detail-driven care that few surgeons can match.
A Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists, Dr. Nguyen is a recognized leader in dental implants and full-arch reconstruction. She serves as faculty at the Resnik Implant Institute and has been repeatedly honored as a Top Doctor and Top Oral Surgeon in the Philadelphia region. Beyond her practice, she has volunteered her surgical skills on humanitarian missions across Africa, Asia, and Native American reservations.
