About Dr. James Lin

I pair advanced training with a calm, judgment-free approach to dental care.

I earned my Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh and completed a general practice residency through the VA Hospital, Mott Children’s Hospital, and the University of Michigan Hospital. I later pursued advanced training in implantology, endodontics, oral surgery, and pediatric dentistry before serving patients in the Bay Area.

I care deeply about communication. I want you to understand what I’m seeing, why I’m recommending a treatment, and what your options are before we move forward.

A clear baseline for your oral health with x-rays, an exam, screening, and a plan tailored to your needs.

Family dentistry

I treat adults and children, so your family can keep care in one Los Gatos office.

Patient viewing a digital x-ray during an appointment

I use technology to make decisions clearer and care more precise.

My office uses digital x-rays and intraoral imaging to improve diagnosis, planning, and patient communication. I want you to be part of the conversation, not just on the receiving end of it.
