Dr. Derik Pham

DMD, FAGD

Welcome and thank you for visiting! I’m Dr. Derik Pham, a proud Orange County native committed to providing dental care that is precise, compassionate, and patient centered.

My journey into dentistry began after earning my B.S. in Mathematics, where problem solving and attention to detail shaped how I approach healthcare. I went on to receive my Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) from A.T. Still University’s Missouri School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Dental school gave me a strong foundation in both clinical care and public health, and it instilled in me the importance of connecting with people as much as treating teeth.

It all started with a mission trip to Jamaica while in dental school, where I had the chance to provide oral health care to underserved communities. That experience sparked a deeper commitment to service, which led me to work in public health in the Inland Empire. Those years taught me how to listen, build trust, and provide care in a way that truly makes a difference.

Today, I’m proud to have realized my dream of opening my own practice - a space where I can combine my desire to help people with the very best in dental materials, techniques, and a team I trust. From advanced digital technology to modern restorative methods, everything we do is designed to make your care as comfortable, effective, and personal as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your journey to a healthier, more confident smile!
