Dr. Christine Lam
Chicago-raised, Midwestern University-trained DMD. Dr. Lam leads most of our Invisalign cases and works extensively in same-day CAD/CAM ceramics.
About Dr. Lam
Dr. Christine Lam was born and raised in the Chicagoland area. Her path to dentistry started in a high school materials art class — a combination of artistic expression and scientific curiosity that has shaped her clinical eye since.
She earned her bachelor's in biological sciences from the University of Illinois at Chicago before graduating from Midwestern University College of Dentistry as a Doctor of Dental Medicine in 2022. She leads most of our Invisalign clear-aligner cases and works extensively in same-day CAD/CAM ceramics — the cases where careful planning and detail separate outcomes. Like every doctor on the team, she uses the GentleWave root canal system when endodontic work is indicated.
Dr. Lam has volunteered at free dental clinics through Aspen and Heartland since 2013, served on Mission Lazarus in Honduras in 2023, and worked with Mission of Mercy in Southern Illinois. Outside practice she travels, plays pickleball, videographs, and has a well-documented affection for Disney. She lives with her husband Eddie and their dog, Tohru.
“Dentistry is art as much as it is medicine. Both deserve patience.”
