Adelaide Sedation Dentistry was born from the passion and commitment of Dr Alexander Lam, whose vision is to deliver a genuinely stress-free and patient-centred dental experience.
Dr. Alexander Lam Founder of Adelaide Sedation Dentistry
A proud Adelaide local, Dr Lam attended St. Peter’s College before achieving a double degree with First Class Honours from the University of Adelaide. His dedication to excellence led him to pursue a Postgraduate Specialist Qualification in IV Sedation—a rare achievement that places him among only two dentists in South Australia to hold this qualification. Furthering his expertise, he earned a Masters of Dentistry from Munster University in Germany, specialising in orthodontics.
​
Dr Lam is actively involved in professional development and leadership. He is a member of both the Australian Dental Association (ADA) and the Australian Society of Dental Anesthesiology, and he previously served as Chair of the ADA Recent Graduates Committee. Over the years, he has successfully owned and operated three private dental practices in Adelaide, garnering a reputation as a gentle and compassionate dentist focused on delivering the highest standard of care.
​
His profound belief in the transformative power of pain-free, sedation-assisted dentistry for both patients and dental practitioners inspired him to establish Adelaide Sedation Dentistry. By offering sedation services in a familiar setting with a trusted team, he seeks to ease anxiety and make dental visits more comfortable for everyone.
​
Beyond the practice, Dr Lam is a self-confessed sporting enthusiast. He holds memberships with the Royal Adelaide Golf Club, Trinity Gardens Tennis Club, and St. Peter’s Old Collegians Lawn Tennis Club, reflecting his love for staying active and enjoying Adelaide’s vibrant community.
​
Through Adelaide Sedation Dentistry, Dr Lam continues his mission to redefine the patient experience—making dental care welcoming, relaxing, and tailored to each individual’s needs.
