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.
