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.

Dr. Pham continues his education in clear aligner, implant, cosmetic, and restorative dentistry. His clinical approach combines digital planning with careful diagnosis and a preference for preserving healthy tooth structure whenever appropriate.

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

His approach is patient, unhurried, and judgment-free. He takes time to walk every case through — what is happening, what the options are, what each one costs — before any treatment begins. Second opinions and questions are welcome.

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.
