As a child, she had suffered through a horrible dental experience, so she only took this job to help her family. Little did she know at the time that sitting on the other side of the dental chair, changing people’s smiles, gave her a thrill that she had never before experienced. Today, she can’t imagine doing anything else; dentistry is not just a career for Dr. Lam, it’s her passion. “There is no better feeling than when I can make a difference in my patient’s oral health, overall health and most importantly, their confidence.”

Dr. Lam received her BS degree from the University of California-Davis in 2001, with a major in Biology and a minor in Medical Microbiology. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine in 2006.

Awesome place and wonderful staff. Got fast braces here and Dr. Lam guaranteed me if I didn’t skip a visit that within one year my braces would be off before my birthday. She stood correct. I had extreme crowding and now I have the smile I’ve always wanted.

Very thankful for the warmth and expertise of the Drs and the front office staff. I have awful anxiety when it comes to dental work, and they are very re-assuring, and check up throughout work on my level of discomfort in order to make the experience a good one.

Christy Steyn

We went for our 6 year old daughter. All the staff members were really good and did their best to make my daughter feel comfortable as she was little scared. My wife really liked the office the way it is decorated. Also, they have given every detailed information about what is happening and what needs to be done.

Why would you go anywhere else??! More and more of my friends and family trying to go see her!

Hue Ly
“

Dr. Lam is an amazing dentist and clearly very knowledgeable! I've been seeing her since 2012 - I wish I would have still driven to come to TLC because another dentist gave a sub-par night guard and didn't catch some cavities. My husband needed extensive dental work including extraction and implant and they did a great job.

Maddie Moody Hartgraves
“

TLC Dentistry deserves a mention for the outstanding care they give. The whole team is friendly and professional. Doctor Lam is the most experienced dentist I have ever had. The care given is beyond any I have received throughout my life. Her skill level is at the top.

CJ Nelson

The whole team is friendly and professional. Doctor Lam is best, experienced dentist I have ever had. The amount of care this team has for me is all so sweet. Dr. Lam put my braces on for me and her and the rest of the team have been so kind and so welcoming.

Sydney Le
“

The staff here is very welcoming/accommodating and will make you feel at home. Dr. Lam is very meticulous and thorough with her work. She uses the best kind of dental material and instruments available in the industry. She’s very detail-oriented and conservative in her approach and only recommends the necessary treatment. If you as a patient, have ever had a bad dental experience in the past, TLC Dentistry will definitely restore your faith in dentists.

I've been going to TLC Dentistry for the last 3 years. When I went to my first appointment, I hadn't been to the dentist in years. Needless to say, there was a lot that I needed to have done in order to get my dental health back to a good place. The care and patience that the team at TLC has consistently shown never fails to impress me and helps ease my nervousness about dental work.
