Questions, Answers, and Information Directly from Dr. Colleen Lam, D

Sourced directly from Dr. Colleen Lam, D's social posts and replies.

What is Dr. Lam's philosophy on veneers?
Dr. Lam believes veneers are not about creating a 'perfect' smile, but rather one that feels authentic, healthy, and uniquely suited to the individual.

What are the potential oral health side effects of GLP-1 medications?
Patients taking GLP-1 medications may experience dry mouth, an increased risk of cavities, tooth sensitivity, acid reflux, enamel erosion, and changes in nutrition that can impact teeth and gums.
Source →
How can oral health side effects from GLP-1 medications be managed?
These side effects can often be prevented or minimized with appropriate dental care and healthy habits. Dr. Lam's practice can create a personalized plan to maintain oral health for patients taking these medications.
Source →
Should I inform Dr. Lam's practice if I am taking GLP-1 medications?
Yes, if you are taking a GLP-1 medication—or thinking about starting one—it is important to inform the practice at your next visit so they can create a personalized plan to maintain your oral health.

What are Dr. Lam's recommendations for daily oral health habits?
Dr. Lam recommends staying hydrated throughout the day, brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, flossing every day, focusing on nutrient-rich foods and adequate protein, keeping up with regular dental cleanings and exams, packing your toothbrush when traveling, avoiding using teeth as tools, and scheduling dental checkups proactively before calendars fill up.

What are the benefits of a straighter smile?
A straighter smile offers benefits beyond appearance, including increased confidence, healthier teeth, and proper bite function.

What are the features and benefits of Invisalign® clear aligners?
Invisalign® clear aligners are nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable. They allow patients to eat the foods they love and brush and floss with ease. Invisalign treatment is customized for each patient and can significantly improve overall dental health without traditional braces.

What are common symptoms of TMJ dysfunction?
Many people are surprised to learn that ear pain, ear fullness, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), headaches, facial pain, and neck tension can actually be related to TMJ dysfunction, not necessarily an ear infection. This occurs because the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sits directly in front of the ear, and when jaw muscles become tight, inflamed, or overworked from clenching, grinding, stress, or bite imbalances, the pain can radiate into the ear and surrounding areas. If you've been struggling with unexplained ear pain where other evaluations show normal results, your TMJ may be the real culprit.

What is Dry Needling and what conditions does it treat?
Dry needling is a treatment offered at Dental Arts of Atlantis that uses a very thin, sterile filament needle to target tight muscle 'knots' (trigger points). By releasing these trigger points, muscles relax, blood flow improves, and pain is often significantly reduced. It is a quick, minimally invasive treatment that can provide relief from ear pain and pressure, jaw pain and clicking, headaches and migraines, facial tension, neck pain, and discomfort associated with teeth clenching and grinding. It can be an excellent addition to a comprehensive TMJ treatment plan.

Industry Payments

Federal law (the Physician Payments Sunshine Act) requires drug and medical-device companies to report anything of value they give to a physician — consulting and speaking fees, research funding, travel, royalties, and even meals. Medicare publishes all of it in a public database called Open Payments. We show it here so you don't have to go looking for it.

Total received (2024)

$57

Payments

2

Compared to peers

Small

Dr. Colleen Lam, D received $57 across 2 payments in 2024. That is in the lower half for physicians here — totals this size are typically meals at sponsored talks. Most of it was categorised as food and beverage, and the largest single payer was Dentsply Sirona Inc.

What this means for your care

  • A disclosed payment is a business relationship, not evidence of wrongdoing, and it says nothing on its own about the quality of your care.
  • Most payments are small. Across the physicians listed on NavMDs, the single most common category is food and beverage at industry-sponsored talks.
  • Larger consulting, speaking or royalty payments mean an ongoing financial relationship with a company whose products your doctor may use or recommend. That is worth knowing about, and it is reasonable to ask about.
  • A fair question to ask: “Do you have a financial relationship with the maker of the implant, filler or device you're recommending — and what alternatives did you consider?”
