Dr. Jacky Tze Kit Lam is a general dentist who strives to provide the highest standards in comprehensive dentistry for his patients. His ambition to pursue post-graduate continuing education has allowed him to create thorough multi-disciplinary treatment plans and perform many demanding dental procedures for his patients.
Dr. Lam specialized in the Health and Disease program during his undergraduate studies at the University of Toronto. After only 3 years of undergraduate education, he was accepted into the Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Toronto and later obtained his Doctorate in Dental Surgery in 2010.
