Thank you for taking the time to visit us and learn a little about me and my practice.

I hope you will find the information you need and that you will not hesitate to call us when you are ready to see us.

I decided to pursue my passion for healthcare after having children and retiring from a career in Finance.

I became a Magna Cum Laude graduate of The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, where I received a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2011, along with multiple awards and honors in Prosthodontics and Oral Medicine.

I also completed a residency in Implant Prosthodontics at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry Implant Clinic, a 2-year externship in Implant Surgery at the Midwest Implant Institute, and a 2-year externship in Orthodontics.

Because I always want the best, latest, and most reliable treatment options for my patients, I regularly invest in exceeding all state and national continuing education requirements by accumulating hundreds of training hours in General Dentistry, Orthodontics, Prosthodontics, Endodontics, Laser Dentistry, Cosmetic Dentistry, Sedation Dentistry, and Facial Aesthetics.

My treatment philosophy focuses on preserving natural dental structures through conservative and minimally invasive surgical approaches. I also put a lot of care into the experience that my patients receive by making sure that everyone enjoys a clean, gentle, friendly, and relaxing environment that promotes healing. I use the most modern technology and partner with highly reputable dental laboratories and suppliers who provide superior quality products and materials that allow me to produce beautiful and long-lasting results.

I am an in-network provider with most dental insurance plans, and provide care for patients of all ages, including adults, seniors, teenagers, and children. Whether they need basic care like cleanings and checkups, complex treatment like complete mouth rehabilitation, or anything in between, I treat all patients with the utmost care, attention, and respect.

As a wife and mother to two sons, I enjoy outdoor activities with my family, as well as cooking, painting, visiting parks and museums, and playing with our super-energetic Havanese dog.

Things that will always bring a smile to my face if you mention them in a conversation include are food, basketball (Go Spurs!), and romantic comedies.

Dr. Tam is a certified member of the International Association for Orthodontics (IAO), a progressive and dynamic organization of general dentists, pediatric dentists, and other dentists who provide orthodontic care. The IOA is the oldest and largest national and international orthodontics group.
