Cedar Hills, a Planned Neighborhood with Deep Roots

Cedar Hills is one of the west side's classic post-war neighborhoods. Construction began in 1946 on a plan that set aside room for a shopping center, schools, parks and churches, and a homes association still looks after the formal neighborhood. Today it is a census-designated place in unincorporated Washington County, tucked south of US 26 and west of OR 217.

At the neighborhood's north edge, Cedar Hills Shopping Center has served shoppers since 1955, and its tall neon sign became a local landmark. Redevelopment work there began in April 2026. Nearby, THPRD runs the Cedar Hills Recreation Center out of a former elementary school building, and Sunset Transit Center sits just across the freeway.

Inside the neighborhood, Barnes Elementary on SW Walker Rd and the water at Commonwealth Lake Park anchor daily life. A flat, paved loop of about 0.8 mile circles the lake, the state stocks it with trout, and anglers with an Oregon license can fish there. Johnson Creek runs along the park's northern border.

Fewer Appointments for Bigger Repairs in Cedar Hills

Teeth that have carried decades of fillings eventually need stronger support. Large old fillings crack, edges wear down, and a tooth that once needed a patch now needs a crown. Traditionally that meant two visits with a temporary crown in between, which adds up when every trip crosses Beaverton.

Our office uses CEREC to change that routine. Dr. Lin captures the tooth with a digital scanner instead of messy impressions, designs the crown on screen and mills it from a ceramic block on site. You leave with the permanent crown the same day, with no temporary to protect. Our same-day crowns page walks through each step.

Same-day crowns suit cracked or broken teeth, large decay, worn teeth, teeth that just had a root canal and failing older crowns. Dr. Lin confirms candidacy first, since not every case fits. When one does, a single morning replaces what used to take two separate trips.

Older restorations deserve a regular look even when nothing hurts. During checkups, Dr. Lin uses an intraoral camera to show you hairline cracks or gaps around old fillings on the treatment-room TV. Seeing the problem yourself makes it easier to decide whether to repair it now or watch it for another visit.

Restorative Care from a Dentist Near Cedar Hills

• Restorative Dentistry

  Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures, along with amalgam removal for patients replacing older silver fillings. In-office milling means many repairs take fewer visits than you might expect.

• Endodontics

  Root canal therapy and cracked-tooth care aim to keep your natural tooth. Dr. Lin looks at how the tooth reacts to biting and temperature, along with color and gum changes, to find the source of the problem.

• Dental Implants

  When a tooth can't be saved, Dr. Lin places titanium implant posts herself after evaluating the site with digital imaging. Planning and placement stay with the dentist you already know.

• General Dentistry

  Exams, cleanings and x-rays when needed. Regular checkups catch a cracked filling before it turns into a broken tooth and a much bigger repair.

• Oral Sedation

  For patients who tense up at the thought of a long crown or root canal appointment, oral sedation may be available. You take the prescribed medication beforehand, following written instructions our team provides.

Cedar Hills has welcomed households since the late 1940s, and a long-settled neighborhood often comes with long dental histories: old fillings, earlier crowns and the occasional tooth that has been patched more than once. A practice that keeps every step under one roof, from the first exam to the final crown, spares you from juggling referrals and duplicate paperwork. Dr. Lin keeps your x-rays, scans and notes together, so each visit builds on the last one instead of starting over.
