Meet the Clinician

Gentle precision, practiced with unhurried intention.

Founder & Lead Clinician

OHSU Alum

“Dental care should feel as calming as it is meticulous. We take the time to listen before we ever touch an instrument.”

After over a decade of clinical practice across the Pacific Northwest, Dr. Lin founded Northline Dental with a simple conviction: modern restorative and cosmetic dentistry achieves its best results when patients feel entirely safe, informed, and unhurried.

Specializing in preventative care, gentle restorative dentistry, and cosmetic transformations, Dr. Lin has completed advanced training in dental anxiety management, biomimetic restorations, and clear aligner therapy. Every treatment plan is built around conservative, tooth-preserving techniques.

01. Comfort First

Noise-canceling audio, warmed blankets, and non-judgmental care.

02. Biomimetic

Minimally invasive methods designed to preserve natural tooth structure.

03. Transparency

Clear pricing, zero pressure, and co-created care decisions.

“I avoided the dentist for nearly seven years due to severe panic. From the moment I stepped into Northline, the silence, natural light, and unhurried dialogue put me at ease. Dr. Vance explained every step before touching a tool. For the first time in my adult life, I walked out feeling empowered, completely pain-free.”
