General & Family Dentist — Frisco TX

Creating a Dental Experience That Feels Like Family

Dr. Christina Pham is the associate general and family dentist at Tribute Family Dentistry in Frisco, TX — the doctor most of our patients and their children see for their routine care, restorative treatment, and everything in between. Dr. Pham prides herself on creating an environment where patients feel genuinely comfortable: heard, respected, and cared for without judgment.

Her approach to dentistry was shaped early. Growing up, Dr. Pham’s own dentist made the office feel like a place she actually wanted to go — treating every patient like family and making oral health feel positive rather than intimidating. That experience became the template for the kind of dentist she set out to become.

“My goals are to share the positives of taking care of one’s oral health and to give patients a fresh perspective on what going to the dentist is like,” Dr. Pham has said. At Tribute, that philosophy shows in every appointment.

Dr. Pham completed her undergraduate studies at UC Irvine, majoring in Public Health — a foundation that informs her patient-centered, preventive-first approach to dental care.

Before entering dental school, Dr. Pham earned a Master of Biomedical Sciences at Midwestern University in Arizona, deepening her scientific foundation in preparation for advanced clinical training.

Dr. Pham earned her DMD from Midwestern University’s College of Dental Medicine. Upon graduating, she relocated to Texas where she has built her career in general and family dentistry, developing long-term relationships with patients of all ages.

Her Approach to Patients

Dr. Pham’s patients consistently describe the same thing: a dentist who is gentle, patient, and genuinely easy to talk to. She takes the time to explain what she’s doing and why, answers questions without making anyone feel rushed, and is particularly skilled at putting anxious patients — adults and children alike — at ease.

Compassion and empathy are the words Dr. Pham herself uses to describe the environment she aims to create. In a practice that sees patients from toddlers to seniors, that consistency of care matters enormously.

Families at Tribute frequently tell us their children ask to come back — and that’s exactly the outcome Dr. Pham sets out to achieve at every appointment.

What Dr. Pham Treats

Beyond the Office

Dr. Pham grew up in Southern California and made her way to Texas after completing her training — and has been growing her career and her life here ever since. Outside of dentistry she has recently taken up pottery making, a hobby she discovered and quickly became passionate about.

When she’s not at the wheel or in the office, Dr. Pham enjoys being out in nature, exploring new restaurants and food spots around the city, and experimenting with recipes at home — alongside her puppy, Maple. She’s always happy to swap a food recommendation.
