I have only been a patient of Dr. Lam's for about 18 months. In that time I have had a few regular cleanings, a few cavities filled and I have consulted him for tooth pain. In each case, Dr. Lam is very courteous and professional. I got the impression that he was very competent and suggested the appropriate treatment in all cases. (My previous dentist just seemed to go through the motions and I never felt confident that he was doing a thorough analysis of the condition of my teeth).I was most impressed with the way Dr. Lam addressed my tooth pain. He identified a small crack in one of my molars that was caused by my current bite being misaligned. He first suggested a conservative approach and grind the effected teeth to adjust the bite and hopefully stop the pain. The procedure was a simple and inexpensive solution and the pain was gone within hours! He even saw me for a follow up visit to ensure the crack was not growing (free of charge!). Highly recomended!
