Meta description: Dr. Hank Lin is a Port Coquitlam dentist with a focus on restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Speaks English, Afrikaans and some Mandarin.
Before Dr. Hank Lin starts any treatment, he wants you to understand what he sees, what your options are, and what each one involves. He believes patients make better decisions when they know exactly what’s happening in their mouth, and he takes the time to listen and explain until you do.
Dr. Lin is a general dentist at Shaughnessy Square Dental Centre in Port Coquitlam. He enjoys every part of general dentistry, with a particular interest in restorative and cosmetic work. It’s the part of dentistry where science, precision and artistry all have to come together, and that’s what draws him to it.
Born in Taiwan and raised in South Africa, Dr. Lin earned his Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BChD) from the University of Pretoria and practised in South Africa for more than seven years. After relocating to Vancouver, he completed the National Dental Examining Board of Canada’s equivalency process to practise here.

He speaks English and Afrikaans, along with some Mandarin, and enjoys getting to know patients from all kinds of backgrounds.
Outside the clinic, Dr. Lin swims, cycles and runs, and has completed four half-Ironman-distance triathlons. When he’s not training, you’ll find him on the tennis court or out hiking somewhere in BC.
