About Dr. Gary Lam
Dr. Lam is a Family and Cosmetic dentist with an emphasis on focused patient care. After graduating from dental school at University of Southern California (USC), he continues advancing his dental training by completing several continuing education opportunities in the fields of periodontics, endodontic and orthodontics via POS seminars and UCLA. He is also Fellowship Eligible with the International Congress of Oral Implantology and a member of AACD (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry).
As Dr. Lam works hard in running a private office, he continues to pursue his dream in becoming an adjunct faculty with many prestigious dental institutions such as USC, Western Health Sciences and PCC while balancing an enriched family life.
Dr. Lam believes that his role in the provision of excellent dental care includes education and awareness. Optimal care of patients can only be achieved with the collaboration of patients themselves. Therefore, open communication is the key to great treatment adherence as patients understand how to take an active role in their oral health. Education is always emphasized at every visit. We encourage all patients to understand and be a part of their overall treatment plans.
