General Dentist

Dr. Sung Nam

Practices at: Westport

Dr. Sung Nam

Dr. Sung Nam brings a unique blend of precision, warmth, and global experience to every patient he treats.

A graduate of NYU College of Dentistry, Dr. Nam has practiced in South Korea, New York, and Connecticut, honing his skills in general, esthetic, and implant dentistry. Dentistry runs deep in Dr. Nam’s roots—his father is an oral surgeon, and his mother is a prosthodontist. Growing up around two dental specialists gave him an early hands-on education and sparked his passion for the craft. Today, he’s known for his strong technical expertise in surgery, prosthodontics, and esthetic dentistry. What truly sets Dr. Nam apart, though, is his patient-first approach. He loves getting to know the people behind the smiles and makes sure every visit feels personal, informative, and comfortable. Whether he’s restoring a confident smile or talking through a treatment plan, he brings care and clarity to every step of the process.
