Dr. Sung Nam
Dr. Sung Nam
Dr. Sung Nam, DDS
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.

Dr. Lexis Philips, DDS
Dr. Lexis Philips brings a thoughtful, down-to-earth approach to dentistry that instantly puts patients at ease. She earned her dental degree from Meharry Medical College School of Dentistry, where she developed a strong foundation in comprehensive care and a deep appreciation for the impact a healthy smile can have on someone’s life.
Dr. Philips is passionate about helping patients feel confident and cared for—not just in the chair, but well beyond their visit. She takes the time to listen, explain, and make sure each person she treats feels empowered to take charge of their oral health.
When she’s not in the studio, you can probably find her staying up on the latest dental advancements or spending time with friends and family. Her goal is simple: to make going to the dentist feel a little less like a chore and a lot more like a self-care ritual.

Not everything qualifies as a dental emergency. Some issues, like a chipped tooth without pain or blood, may seem like a dental emergency but do not necessarily require same-day urgent care. Depending on your issue, you may be able to wait a few days before seeing a dentist. However, for other issues like a broken or lost tooth, you should seek out emergency care.
The best way to tell if you require emergency dental care is to call our office.
Some issues don't require urgent care. However, if you call our emergency dental hotline and we do recommend care, it is best to schedule a visit as soon as possible.
Avoiding emergency dental care for some issues may result in further deterioration of your condition and even tooth loss. In some cases, infections may spread to other parts of the body which can even result in hospitalization.

There are many different causes of tooth pain. Depending on the cause, you may require immediate emergency care.
Some toothaches are caused by what is called an abscess. An abscess is an infection of the tooh resulting in pus either at the gums or base of the tooth. Abscesses can result in severe tooth pain which may even radiate to the ear and neck. With the case of an abscess, you will require emergency dental care. Failing to seek out urgent care can result in infection spread and fever. To treat an abscess, a dentist would drain the site of infection and prescribe antibiotics.
Some toothaches are caused by cracked teeth. Cracked teeth can appear as hairline cracks. Without attention, cracked teeth can progress into larger cracks which may result in potential tooth loss.
