You can count on us to provide you and your entire family with the full-range of general and cosmetic procedures, restorative dentistry and orthodontics.

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.”

TLC is the best dentistry place I've ever been to. They have a phenomenal staff, working hard everyday and treating all the patients! They always smile and greet you and treat their patients the way they want to be treated.

Shelby Trinh

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.

Whitney S

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

My entire family has been coming to Dr. Lam for 10 years. She us the absolute best dentist anywhere. She had to fix many problems from my previous dentist. All of my crowns are so well done I can't tell which are real teeth vs. crowns. My kids absolutely love her and her staff.

High standard quality and ethical dental work! nice and cozy office! friendly and happy staffs!
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.

Chinmayee Kulkarni

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.
