Dr. J. Reed Combs

You might say surgery runs in the family. I saw my first oral surgery while joining my dad as a youth providing much needed care on a humanitarian trip where he and other dental professionals worked in an underserved population. I furthered that education as I worked in his office as an assistant throughout high-school and college.

As I pursued my degree at Arizona State University, it became clear to me that I wanted to join the dental profession as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. I worked hard to graduate "Summa Cum Laude" (with highest honor) and applied to dental school. My studies took me, my wife, and our small family to California where I attended The University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry.

I was privileged to thrive there under wonderful instruction from mentors who prepared me for and helped me achieve the difficult task of matching to an excellent resident training program in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Yale New-Haven Hospital in New Haven, Connecticut. Training was challenging, and the growth was immense for me and for my young family on the East Coast.

It was definitely worth the time and effort as it prepared me for the surgical career I plan to build throughout the rest of my life. I am committed to providing top-tier dental implant care to my patients while enjoying the relationships I build along the way. My wife and I enjoy raising our now large family of 7 children here in Arizona where we love sports, outdoor adventures, taking care of our pets, and enjoy the beautiful sunsets

Dr. Albert C. Park is from Vancouver, BC Canada. He attended the University of British Columbia where he received his Bachelor of Human Kinetics. After several years in sales and marketing, he decided to further his education at Howard University where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Honors Society.

Dr. Park's desire to treat complex cases and provide highly esthetic restorative care led him to specialize at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) Advanced Prosthodontics program in Chicago where he focused on dental implants and implant prosthetics. In his free time, he enjoys playing a variety of recreational sports and is an avid ice hockey fan.

From as early as four years old, Dr. Shady Shaaban was drawn to the world of dentistry, inspired by his father's dedication to helping others through his dental practice. This early exposure not only sparked his interest but set him on a path to fulfilling his own dreams of becoming a restorative dentist, a dream that has now come to fruition as he serves with the Nuvia team in Fullerton, CA.

‍

Dr. Shaaban first lived in the US as a high school exchange student. It was during this time that he fell in love with the Midwest and would return to the States frequently in the following years. It was during the 4th year being in the US that he met his wife.  Once he completed his dental training and became certified and licensed as a restorative dentist, he practiced in the Midwest. Although he loves the midwestern states, he and his family eventually moved to California seeking a warmer climate.

Why Nuvia

He is very excited about changing people’s lives in 24 hours. Having experience with all-on-4 dental implants and doing them the traditional way that can take up to 10+ months before a patient gets their permanent teeth, Nuvia’s process that allows patients to get their permanent teeth in 24 hours is very exciting to Dr. Shaaban.

‍

To patients considering the life-changing journey of full mouth dental implants, Dr. Shaaban offers a message of assurance and commitment. With him and the Nuvia team, patients can expect to be in caring and competent hands, supported by professionals dedicated to exceeding expectations and genuinely changing lives for the better.

Outside of the Clinic

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Shaaban is a man of many interests and talents. He is both a scuba diver and a pilot. He also loves sports. He loves to play, watch, and coach soccer. Although he no longer coaches his children’s soccer teams, he enjoys watching them play on local soccer club teams. He also enjoys camping, road trips, biking, and other fast-paced sports.

As an oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Dallin Parkinson strives to blend excellence and compassion in all he does. This has been a pattern throughout his life. He was valedictorian of his high school (Bella Vista High School), college (Brigham Young University), and dental school (Midwestern University College of Dental Medicine Arizona). He also served as a volunteer missionary in Costa Rica for two years prior to entering dental school. He then went on to have a phenomenal 4-year experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, averaging 100 hours per week operating on and consulting with patients in the emergency department, operating room, and multiple clinics.

As a culminating capstone to his professional training, he completed the rigorous board certification process, and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. He is an expert in dentoalveolar and implant surgery, ambulatory anesthesia, facial trauma, maxillofacial infections, corrective jaw surgery, oral and maxillofacial pathology and reconstruction, and temporomandibular joint pathology. Throughout his career, Dr. Parkinson has been drawn to the deep satisfaction of rebuilding functional, beautiful smiles. This ultimately led him to Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Las Vegas, where he creates the surgical foundation for exceptional, personalized smiles daily.

While on this professional journey of discovery, development, and service, Dr. Parkinson met and married his lovely wife, Charly. They now have three beautiful daughters (and counting).

From a young age, frequent visits to the dentist and orthodontist greatly influenced Dr. Kwon’s early fascination with dental care and led to the beginning of his journey to become an oral surgeon. This interest led him to shadow his dentist, a pivotal experience that steered him towards dental assisting. It was during this time that he witnessed the transformative power of full mouth restorations, seeing firsthand the life-changing impact an oral surgeon’s work can have on patients.

‍

Pursuing his growing passion, Dr. Kwon attended Dental School at New York University. It was there that he discovered the possibility of specializing in oral and maxillofacial surgery—a field that resonated with his early experiences and aspirations. Through intensive training and schooling, Dr. Kwon found profound fulfillment in his ability to contribute to full mouth restorations as an oral surgeon, realizing his goal of making a significant difference in people's lives. He now works with the Nuvia team in Fullerton, California.

When he isn’t working as an oral surgeon, Dr. Kwon is an avid golfer and an enthusiast of the outdoors. Family plays a central role in his life; he cherishes time spent with his loved ones, especially his young daughter, who is the greatest joy of his life. Having grown up in South Korea before moving to Canada and then to the United States, Dr. Kwon has a rich appreciation for diverse cultures and cuisines. This multicultural background has instilled in him a love for Korean and Vietnamese foods, reflecting the heritage of both his and his wife's families.
