Dr. Tuan Pham grew up in Houston, Texas and is eager to provide you with the comfortable, quality dentistry that you deserve. He's going on nearly TWENTY YEARS of being a dentist and is thankful that he found dentistry as it is his calling.

After graduating with honors from the University of Texas at Austin, Dr. Pham earned his D.D.S. degree at the top dental program in the nation. He graduated from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio Dental School with both High Honors and Research Honors. Recently, Dr. Pham's work was featured on the cover of Compendium, one of the most respected dental journals. He has also appeared on numerous (and nerdy) dental magazines and in addition teaches dentists around the US and hosts an annual continuing education event for dentists in Austin. If you google him, you will find him on a lot of podcasts as he is, believe it or not, a renowned dentist among his dental colleagues.

In his spare time, Dr. Pham enjoys Texas football and outdoor activities, especially fly fishing. Dr. Pham looks forward to meeting you and your family!

Dr. Ahmed Sharaf

Dr. Ahmed Sharaf is one of our surgical docs. Dr. Pham considers him to be the smartest dentist that he knows. He says that because Dr. Ahmed Sharaf not only holds an oral surgery degree in Egypt (where he is from and has hospital privileges), but of course he has an American dental degree also. Maybe he's so smart because he literally went through double the dental school training! One fun fact about him is that he wants to help out families in Egypt and is trying to open a hospital over there!

Dr. Sharaf can do many surgical procedures including extraction (removal of teeth), bone grafting procedures, IV sedation procedures, ridge augmentation procedures (growing of jaw bones), sinus lift procedures, and biopsies.

He is a licensed periodontist -- A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the peridontium (gums and associated jaw bone) and in the placement of dental implants.

During his residency, he was also the chief resident of the Department of Periodontology.

Dr. Orlich provides cosmetic gum procedures including crown lengthening & of gum grafting, dental implant placement (including immediate implant tooth replacement), new bone growth & regeneration, and traditional surgical forms of gum disease treatment (however often times in lieu of surgical gum disease treatment, Dr. Pham will recommend progressive laser gum disease treatment called LANAP).
