At Tripitaka Dental, we’re committed to providing exceptional oral health care with a personal touch. Our core philosophy drives us to provide top-notch dentistry that’s accessible to all members of our diverse community. Members of our team speak Vietnamese, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese) and English to better care for our patients.
Tripitaka Dental: The Meaning Behind Our Name
Tripitaka Dental draws inspiration from the beloved fable of four disciples and a master who journeyed from China to India to bring scriptures back to China. This tale highlights the importance of friendship, compassion, loyalty, forgiveness, trust and teamwork.
At Tripitaka Dental, we strive to embody these values in our practice and create a community that prioritises good dental health. Every patient is unique, and so is each dental journey with our team. We aim to build a Tripitaka culture that values good dental health, smile confidence and the joy of eating comfortably.

Dr Theresa Lam
Principal Dentist and Director
With more than two and a half decades in the field, Dr Lam established Tripitaka Dental in December 2023, bringing her extensive expertise and dedication to patient care to the Cabramatta community.
Having completed her dental qualifications at the University of Sydney, Dr Lam's academic background demonstrates her commitment to dental excellence, with advanced training across multiple specialties.
Dr Lam’s favourite aspect of her work is the ability to make a significant difference in her patients’ dental health, helping them smile confidently, improve their oral function, and maintain good oral health for a lifetime. She is equally passionate about educating her patients on oral health and fostering a culture of continuous learning amongst her staff, encouraging them to pursue lifelong education in the ever-evolving field of dentistry.
What drew Dr Lam to dentistry was the opportunity to care for people and address their dental concerns effectively. This patient-centric approach continues to be the cornerstone of her practice at Tripitaka Dental.
Outside of her professional life, Dr Lam enjoys gardening, travelling, spending time with her pets and caring for her mother.
Intriguingly, Dr Lam has some unique hobbies that set her apart. She is deeply interested in astrology and feng shui, bringing a holistic approach to her understanding of wellness.
