Tripitaka Dental
Tripitaka reminds me of my favorite fable. It is about four disciples and a master embarking on a journey from China to India to source scriptures back to China. Along this long treacherous journey, five strangers of different walks of life learn to work together for a common noble cause for humanity.
Tripitaka is a beautiful folklore based on a true story. The folklore shares about cultural exchanges as the disciples and the master journey through different nations along the way. The fable encompassed insights about friendship, compassion, loyalty, forgiveness and the importance of trust and teamwork.
Tripitaka Dental aspire to share these values with their staff and patients. At Tripitaka Dental, we perform many full mouth reconstruction works. Every case is unique and every case is a journey between our team and our patient. We strive to build the Tripitaka Culture and a Tripitaka Community, to instill the value of good dental health, smile confidently, and enjoy food comfortably.

On your first dental visit at Tripitaka Dental, we would gather all necessary information about your dental health. This may include photography of your teeth, small close-up radiographs of your teeth, large panoramic radiograph of your jaws, 3D imaging, and digital scanning of your teeth and bite. Dr Theresa Lam would spend time to show you your images and explain your condition(s) to you in simple lay terms with the help of models, in order to help your understanding.
Dr Theresa Lam would identify your main concerns and secondary concerns, and she will then formulate treatment plans addressing your concerns. She would offer you a few alternatives and explain to you the difference between each alternative so that you can decide for yourselves the treatment path you would like to embark.
