What happens when you put two incredibly talented dentists, a passion for serving others, and a whole lot of heart under one roof? You get Dr. Allison Ghan and Dr. Victor Vellon, the driving force behind the Neighborhood Christian Clinic’s expanding Dental Program. A powerhouse team dedicated to restoring smiles and spreading the hope of Jesus!
They’re not just fixing teeth—they’re transforming lives, restoring confidence, and making sure that everyone, no matter their circumstances, has access to the care they deserve. And thanks to friends of the clinic, like you, they’re only getting started.
Faith in Action: Walking Humbly, Loving Mercy, and Doing Justice
For Dr. Ghan, dentistry is more than a profession—it’s a calling. One that aligns perfectly with her favorite verse, Micah 6:8:
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
This verse serves as the foundation of her work—offering compassionate, just, and merciful care to those who might otherwise go without. Every patient who sits in her chair isn’t just receiving treatment; they’re experiencing God’s love through the hands of those who serve.
Dr. Vellon shares this mission, knowing that restoring a smile can restore hope. Their work is a daily reflection of faith in action—caring for the underserved, loving their neighbors, and walking humbly in the calling God has placed on their lives.
From Big Dreams to Bigger Impact! How NCC’s Dental Program is Transforming Lives
Dr. Allison and Dr. Victor are no strangers to community dentistry. With years of experience, they’ve seen firsthand how something as “simple” as dental care can change everything for a person—how pain relief, a restored smile, and a renewed sense of self-worth can open doors and opportunities.
“People think of dentistry as just cleanings and cavities, but it’s so much more than that,” says Dr. Vellon. “When we fix someone’s smile, we’re not just treating teeth—we’re helping someone eat without pain, feel confident in a job interview, and laugh freely with their loved ones.”
Dr. Ghan agrees. “We want NCC’s dental program to be more than a clinic—it’s a place where people experience healing, compassion, and hope. And we have big plans to take it to the next level.”
What’s Next? The Future of NCC Dentistry

“The vision isn’t just to do good work now—it’s to build something that lasts,” Dr. Ghan says. “With the right tools and support, we can reach even more people and change even more lives.”
Because of You, It’s All Possible
Every smile restored, every pain relieved, every patient welcomed with dignity and prayer—it’s all possible because of YOU.
“This isn’t just our mission—it’s yours too,” says Dr. Vellon. “Every person who believes in this clinic, who prays for our work, who supports it in any way—you are just as much a part of these life-changing moments as we are.”
And with big dreams and even bigger hearts, Dr. Allison and Dr. Victor are ready to take NCC’s dental care to new heights—one smile at a time.
