The milestone was reached with the addition of Dental Wellness of Anna, a new dental practice in Anna, Texas, under the ownership and management of MB2 Dental doctor partners and the husband-and-wife team, Dr. Vinh Ngo and Dr. Emilie Faucheu. Together, they will provide exceptional care at their newest location at 601 South Ferguson Pkwy, Suite 300. The facility spans 3,030 square feet, featuring 11 state-of-the-art operatories.

“Since deciding to open a fifth location, I have experienced a seamless process in all aspects of opening the office. The support system and step-by-step guidance from the team at MB2 Dental have been remarkable.
