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. 

Dr Lam’s dedication to her patients, staff, and personal growth continues to drive Tripitaka Dental's success.
