Advanced Services

Personal

I love all aspects of General Dentistry and quality patient care. In particular, I enjoy the personal interaction with my patients and their families. I have a special interest in Orthodontia and Cosmetics, but my greatest gratification comes from not only creating the smile that patients desire but also helping them make honest and informed decisions about their treatment. I believe my strengths are my good sense of humor and my ability to relate to and comfort people of various ethnic backgrounds. I am fluent in my native language Vietnamese. Away from the office, my favorite pastimes include automotive work, home improvement, photography, cycling, camping, fishing, boating, traveling, and most of all, spending time with my family.

The dental care you deserve is waiting for you at a nearby Park Dental.

He has been my dentist for twenty years and is excellent. I am amazed at how little pain there is during extractions, root canal and repairing a broken tooth.

I was very nervous after years of not seeing a dentist and Dr. Lam was wonderful. It was a challenging time but I now have my new partials and I am confident they will work for me and if not I trust him to provide solutions. I highly recommend him as he us very knowledgeable, kind and provides clear communication--plus some humor!
