Derrick Pham, DDS

Dr. Derrick Pham has been involved in the dental field for more than a decade. Before earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery, he practiced for over six years as a registered dental hygienist — chair-side with patients every day. That dual perspective is the foundation of how he treats today: the surgical precision of a clinician married to the gentle, preventive instinct of a hygienist.

He is a Clear Aligner certified provider and has completed extensive post-doctoral training in dental implants — from single-tooth replacement through full-arch rehabilitation. Dr. Pham continues to invest in advanced continuing education every year, focused on cosmetic smile design, digital workflows, and minimally invasive restorative dentistry, so the care his patients receive reflects the current best of the field.

“I offer advanced dentistry in a most relaxed and caring atmosphere. My philosophy is to treat my patients like my own family member.”

Patients describe him as patient, unhurried, and refreshingly judgement-free. He takes time to walk every case through — what is happening, what the options are, what each one costs — before any treatment begins. The result is a practice where second opinions are welcomed and over-treatment is never on the table.

Dr. Pham is well versed in the overall picture of an attractive smile and provides detailed consultations on how to obtain one — from a single bonded tooth to a complete porcelain veneer redesign. He also leads LV Dental’s family and emergency dentistry program, and the practice proudly serves the Vietnamese-American community in Las Vegas (nói tiếng Việt).

Outside the operatory you’ll find him hiking, camping, practicing yoga, or scuba diving. He has traveled to more than 20 countries and loves swapping stories with patients — half the conversations in his chair are about somebody’s next trip.
