What Patients Said
4.7 out of 5 from 12 reviews.
One of the most compassionate, gentle and intelligent dentist that I have ever been to. You see I'm what you call a very anxious patient, I don't care for someone (Dr. Or not) looking in my mouth. Dr. Lam made me feel comfortable and calm. Her assistant was also knowledgeable and calming. I highly recommend this office to you and your family. 5 ⭐'s would give 10 Thank you for caring for my needs. Angela ❤️

Very satisfied with Dr. Lam, she was honest with my work that needed to be done and explained everything clearly. Very nice and clean office unlike other high volume dental offices that try to get patients in and out. Dr. Lam explained my options and did not pressure me at all. I can tell she cared about my teeth as she took her time to go over my oral health. She also accommodated me the same day I called when I was in pain. Highly recommended.

I've been to many dentists and gone through many procedures and this is my favorite dental place! The office is very clean and organized. The office is often decorated according to seasons/holidays, who likes a plain, boring dental office anyway! There is also entertainment for the kids in the waiting room, big plus! The receptionist is very nice and is great at calling to schedule/confirm appointments. Dr. Lam is VERY knowledgeable and explain everything so you have a better understanding during your appt. She does not hesitate to answer any question. I have tons of fillings and she was able to fix/redo the fillings from prior dental procedures-without any pain, she's generous with the numbing if you just ask. I even have a questionable filling from a former dentist that showed up on the x-ray and she goes out of her way to figure the problem out. She's also great with kids! Was very gentle during a check-up for my 2 yr. old. Gives out goodies for them! I live out of state now and am willing to fly out for checkups cuz she is the only teeth doc I would trust for dental work and advice!

Questions People Ask
Does Dr. Laura Lam take Denti-Cal?
Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

Call (714) 848-0100 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.
What will it cost me?
For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
