Dr. Lin is dedicated to evaluating and integrating futuristic technologies into his dental practice. To achieve lasting outcomes, Dr. Lin designed Arbor: A Dental Concept to reflect a standard of care grounded in biometric principles and making rare technologies often not offered in the United States accessible to his patients.
