Dr. Nathan Dustin, DMD, Restorative Dentist in Portland, OR

Dr. Eugene Lee is a restorative dentist at Nuvia Dental Implant Center in Portland, Oregon. He earned his dental degree from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry and completed two years of general practice residency in New York City before pursuing further education in prosthodontics in Los Angeles. 

‍

With nearly a decade of dental experience, Dr. Lee has spent his career restoring smiles and helping patients regain both function and confidence.

‍

Why Nuvia

After working in a variety of clinical settings—from hospitals to private practice—Dr. Lee was drawn to Nuvia for its focus on giving patients life-changing full-mouth dental implants. 

‍

He appreciates how Nuvia’s process delivers permanent teeth in 24 hours and changing the patient experience. For him, it’s about combining skill, technology, and teamwork to make a real difference for people every day.

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Dr. Lee enjoys exploring Portland’s outdoor trails and local restaurants. A frequent traveler, he loves learning about new cultures and cuisines—most recently visiting Portugal with his girlfriend. Whether he’s hiking, discovering a new park, or trying another James Beard–award-winning restaurant, he enjoys everything Portland has to offer.

Before discovering his passion for oral surgery, Dr. Prashant Charugundla began his career working in toxicology with an environmental protection agency. Over time, he realized he wanted to have a more direct and meaningful impact on people’s lives. That realization led him to pursue dentistry and eventually oral surgery.

‍

Today, he finds it incredibly rewarding to play a role in life-changing transformations—at Nuvia in Portland, all it takes is a single surgical procedure. Dr. Charugundla completed his residency at the University of Texas and has been practicing oral surgery for 8 years.

Why Nuvia?

Dr. Charugundla was drawn to Nuvia in Portland by the opportunity to be part of delivering immediate, life-enhancing results through full mouth restorations. He was especially impressed by Nuvia’s 99.13% dental implant success rate—higher than what’s reported in large studies of other providers. 

‍

Outside of the Office

Outside of work, Dr. Charugundla enjoys windsurfing, trail running, and spending time outdoors. Lately, he’s taken up canoeing with his 14-month-old daughter and values building strong relationships with the people around him.

Dr. Dustin did not set out to be a dentist growing up. However, after watching his grandfather struggle with dentures, he wished there was something he could have done to help him. He eventually chose to pursue dentistry where he can help people have a different experience than his grandfather did.

‍

Why Nuvia

Having been a dentist over 27 years, Dr. Dustin has met many patients with failing or missing teeth who have been in need of full mouth restorations. When he first came across Nuvia, he recognized their unique approach to specifically helping those in need of full mouth dental implants.

‍

From a specially curated team including restorative dentists, oral surgeons, and CRNAs to Nuvia’s advanced technology, patients can trust that they are in good hands and will receive excellent care.

‍

Dr. Dustin loves being a restorative dentist at Nuvia in Las Vegas helping patients receive a life-changing treatment so they don’t need to struggle with a denture like his grandfather did.

‍

Outside of the Clinic

Dr. Dustin and his wife are both avid motorcycle riders. They love to ride their bikes through national parks in the United States. He also loves to wake surf on the Columbia river.

‍

He loves to travel and explore new cities but also loves reading a good book on the beach.
