Dr. Pearl Lai is a Colorado native. She attended the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine. She then went on to practice general dentistry in the Denver-Metro area. During this time she discovered her passion for periodontics. She then moved to Minnesota and completed her periodontics residency at the Mayo Clinic. After completing her specialty training she returned home to Colorado to practice periodontics.
As a practicing periodontist Dr. Lai incorporates many aspects of health such as nutrition and diet as part of the overall health plan. Your health is more than your mouth, it is all of you. Dr. Lai understands this well and is passionate about all areas of health and wellness that goes beyond your teeth. Each case is individual and some people will need more than what happens in the dental chair. Some patient may get custom vitamin plans, nutritional consultations, and/or discussions on detox to name a few examples.
Dr. Lai enjoys her relationships with her patients and her colleagues as much as the care she provides. When she is not involved in dentistry she enjoys reading, mountain biking, snowboarding, and gardening.
“The best part of my career is the people. I enjoy getting to know my patients and their dentists. I’m fortunate to be surrounded by a wonderful dental team. Thank you!” – Dr. Pearl Lai
