TLDR: Literally the best dentist and dental experience out there.

This is the best dentist I have ever been to and it’s not even close!

I have been to many dentists and orthodontists growing up, so I am not stranger to the ups and downs of different dentistry practices and how hit or miss it can be. When dealing with a dentist, it is like finding a good car mechanic that you can trust and not get price gouged as well as trusting they will perform quality work. Just like you want to show off your car, you want to show off your smile, at an affordable price too!

My experience here has been nothing short of amazing. From the first visit and “orientation” to already going 4 times for dental work and fillings.

Dr. Lam is the BEST dentist I have ever used. First off, HE CARES!

Let me tell you how important it is to have someone that actually cares! I had pretty extensive fillings and repair done to the front of my teeth which is obviously the main part of my smile. He frequently makes sure that you are fine during the procedures, but not to an overbearing point. Basically, he is aware if you are uncomfortable or something is “wrong” and will make sure that you are okay with everything going on.

Furthermore, I had some staining on my teeth (from the braces) and he removed the staining on a tooth that I was not quoted to work on and he did it AT NO CHARGE! WHO DOES THAT???? Once again, it is because he cares and he prides himself in the quality of his work.

My smile has never looked better. He shaved my teeth as to be more uniform and symmetrical. It honestly looks amazing. I have had other dentists who tried to do fillings on the front of my teeth and they didn’t match the shading of the teeth correctly and it just looked horrible. The work that Dr. Lam did was more than incredible and it is almost weird now to actually smile and not feel self conscious about it.

We did extra work on my molars and side teeth and I did have to go back 2 times in order to correct the bite and I also had extra sensitivity to hot and cold. Each time they offered to see me that day but I kept my original schedule as it wasn’t an emergency. I went in and once again, it was apparent that Dr. Lam cares and he took his time to ensure that we were correcting things and I wasn’t in pain or anything else was going on, which can be the case with teeth.

If you are looking for a dentist or have a fear of the dentist or any hesitation, I would highly recommend that you at least give them a try. You can see from the other reviews how highly rated they are but it really is warranted and everyone from the front staff to the assistants and of course, to the doctors… This place really deserves the 5 stars and I would recommend them without hesitation.

I had an initial appointment at LSFD in late April and their staff was tremendously welcoming and friendly. After evaluation and comprehensive cleaning, it was determined I’d need a number of fillings. I was presented with an itemized treatment plan complete with price estimates and appointment time length. This level of transparency gave me so much peace of mind and allowed me to spread the cost across a few visits. Dr. Lam and his hygienists were kind, thorough, and compassionate. I felt assured (even while nervous about procedures) that I was receiving quality care. Having now completed the treatment plan over 3 visits, I’d highly recommend their practice, especially to those who may have some level of anxiety about dental work.

I have been going LSFD for 7 years. Dr. Hong is a wonderful, caring dentist. His office staff, hygienists and dental assistants are all very knowledgeable, helpful and caring too. The office is state of the art. When I first started going I and my 2 children did not have dental insurance. They have Smile Club which you pay for once a year and covers 2 cleanings, exam, X-rays and fluoride. Also a percentage off of fillings, if you need any. This was a great plan for us.
I highly recommend him. I was a dental assistant for 7 years, so I’m very choosy when searching for a dentist and wouldn’t recommend one if they and their staff didn’t tick off all the boxes.
