About Dr. Lin
Dr. Kevin Lin is one of only two board-certified prosthodontists serving the greater Sunnyvale, Mountain View & Santa Clara areas.
Throughout his academic career, he conducted clinical research studies and has always followed up with presentations and publications to share his knowledge. He has published numerous papers in peer-reviewed scientific journals and presented in professional conferences and dental study clubs both in the U.S. and Canada.
After returning home to Palo Alto, he began to devote more time to serving patients in private practice, but Dr. Lin did not forgo his passion for learning and teaching.

He currently serves as a journal reviewer for the prestigious Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry and the Journal of Prosthodontics, and is always on the hunt for new research ideas.
When he is not serving patients, Dr. Lin enjoys watching TV, exploring the culinary world, photography, and spending time with his wife, Jennifer, 8-yr-old son, Preston, and 5-yr-old daughter, Lydia!
