For Dr. Bryan Bui, it's all about the kids. He is passionate about all parts of pediatric dentistry, but his primary goal is to make kids feel welcome and comfortable during their dental visits. For Dr. Bui, every child is special, and he knows that if you talk to them directly and get to know them, it can make all the difference. Nothing makes Dr. Bui happier than when patients start laughing, joking, and singing with the team.

This passion comes from personal trauma. As a toddler, Dr. Bui worked with a short-tempered dentist. To this day, he feels anxious about visiting the dentist. This helps him connect with patients. He is mindful to focus on the comfort of each patient to make sure they are doing well physically and mentally.

Dr. Bui is so excited to help each child get past their fears and get their teeth problems fixed. When this process is painless and stress-free, we can build trust. This means that kids are no longer scared to visit the dentist. In fact, they may even start looking forward to it.

This is all possible because Dr. Bui puts children at the forefront to build positive experiences. It is Dr. Bui's goal to keep children healthy and excited about dental care!

Dr. Bui has practice dentistry since 1999. He started with pediatric dentistry in 2006.

Becoming a dentist was a lifelong ambition. Dr. Bui grew up in Costa Mesa, CA, and he always knew that he wanted to work in healthcare to help others. However, he wasn't sure which career to choose. However, a terrible toothache as a child changed the course of his life.

The toothache started during the testing week at school. The pain was so bad that Dr. Bui couldn't focus. Money was scarce for his family, so Dr. Bui's parents scrambled to find a dentist who could help. Finally, they found Dr. Namsinhm, who offered to take care of the toothache and find a payment plan that worked for the family. When Dr. Bui was finally seen, he found out he needed two root canals. Dr. Namsinh helped right away.

Young Dr. Bui was anxious about the procedure. He'd heard how much root canals can hurt. To his surprise, however, he felt great afterward. There was no more pain. Dr. Namsinh's skill and compassion made a huge impact on Dr. Bui's life. He started to volunteer with her and learn more about dentistry. From there, Dr. Bui had no more doubts about his career. He was going to pursue dentistry.

To realize his dental dreams, Dr. Bui earned a Doctorate in Dental Medicine from Temple Dental School. After working as a general dentist for about four years, he realized there weren't enough pediatric dentists. He heard countless horror stories from parents about trying to find good dental care for their children.

Suddenly, the solution seemed obvious. Dr. Bui had always enjoyed working with kids. After all, his adult patients rarely appreciated his singing. That's when he decided to pursue pediatric dentistry himself. He completed his residency at the MetroHealth Hospital of Cleveland Clinics Pediatric Dental Program.

As a dentist, Dr. Bui knows that ongoing growth and education are essential. He is an active member of:

• American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
• American Dental Association
• American Dental Society of Anesthesiology
• Nevada Academy of Pediatric Dentistry

On top of that, Dr. Bui completes continuing education each year. These courses allow him and his team to stay current with technological advances and developments in dental materials and techniques. Dr. Bui seeks out new, proven options to increase patient comfort. It is his goal to find more efficient and effective treatments to get the best results for patients.

Dr. Bui loves being a pediatric dentist, but he also loves getting away from the office. When he's not at work, family time is a priority. His wife, Lani, is his rock. She is sweet and supportive of all he does. His daughter, Breanna, just graduated from Southwest Career and Technical Academy and is working on a degree at UNLV. His son, Brandon, is a bright boy who loves to game. Unfortunately, his gaming skills far exceed Dr. Bui's, although Dr. Bui can still beat him in a tennis match. Brandon currently attends Clark High School.

The family isn't complete without Grandpa. Dr. Bui loves having him close, and he's a man of many talents. He's built a whole new room for the house, and he created a server computer system for the family. The family is rounded out by three rambunctious puppies, Boo, Kodi, and Mochi. Dr. Bui loves spending time with his family. He knows they're growing up too fast!

With any other free time Dr. Bui has, he loves to play tennis. Staying physically active helps him release excess energy. Dr. Bui also spends time volunteering at health fairs, and he screens kids for their oral health. You may also see him at Give Kids a Smile functions. Dr. Bui also helps with fundraising for nonprofits like The Marty Hennessy Foundation for Kids and Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Giving back to the community is one way that Dr. Bui shows his appreciation for the country. He knows how fortunate he is, and he is thankful for the opportunities his family has.
