Convenient Access from Beaverton
For many people, choosing a dentist Beaverton, OR residents can reach without a freeway merge comes down to one road. Canyon Road leaves downtown heading west, turns into TV Highway and runs straight to Everglow Dental, our office on SW Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha. Plan on about 10 minutes from the city library, with Dr. Kristy Lin waiting at the other end.
Begin at the Beaverton City Library on SW 5th Street. Take SW Tucker Ave and SW 2nd St over to SW Hall Blvd, go north to SW Canyon Rd (OR 8) and turn left. Stay on it as the name changes to Tualatin Valley Highway, past SW 185th and SW 198th Avenues, for a 4.5-mile drive that ends with our building on the right, the north side of the highway.
Enter 20285 SW Tualatin Valley Hwy, Aloha, OR 97003 into your phone, or open our Google Maps listing to follow the route. Patients in Cedar Hills and Cedar Mill, to the north and northwest, will find their own directions on separate pages.
A Familiar Face for Beaverton Patients
Dr. Lin has practiced in the Beaverton area since 2019, so plenty of patients from the city already know her. Seeing the same dentist year after year makes it easier to track small changes, and that continuity matters most during a longer plan such as a series of crowns or an implant. The trip along OR 8 is simple enough that keeping that relationship takes little effort.
Downtown gives the drive an easy starting point. The Beaverton Farmers Market sets up beside the library on SW Hall Blvd between 3rd and 5th streets, with a season that runs from February to late November. The Patricia Reser Center for the Arts on SW Crescent St hosts performances, classes and gallery shows nearby, so a morning appointment can pair with plans in town.
Beaverton anchors the east end of OR 8 in Washington County, with Hillsboro, Cornelius and Forest Grove farther west along the same corridor. If you live or work near the Beaverton Transit Center, where MAX Blue and Red Lines meet WES Commuter Rail, you can also reach us by bus without changing lines. Riders heading west on TriMet Line 57 step off on the north side of TV Highway, the same side as our office.
What Beaverton Adults Should Know About Replacing Missing Teeth
A missing tooth is more than a gap. Neighboring teeth slowly drift, the opposite tooth can over-erupt, and the jawbone under the space shrinks without a root to stimulate it. Dr. Lin has placed dental implants since 2021, so patients who have known her for years can have implant care from a dentist they already trust.
Every implant plan starts with careful imaging. CBCT scans show bone height and width in three dimensions, which tells Dr. Lin whether the site can hold a titanium post as is. You see the same images on the treatment-room TV, so the plan makes sense before anything begins. When it cannot, bone grafting can rebuild the area first, and an upper molar site sometimes needs a sinus lift.
Implants are not the only answer. A bridge, a partial denture or a complete denture may suit your health, budget or timeline better, and Dr. Lin lays out each option on the treatment-room TV without pressure. You choose what fits, and the plan moves at your pace.
Gum health is the other half of a lasting result. An implant can lose support to gum disease just as a natural tooth can, so Dr. Lin checks the gums closely before and after treatment. Patients with a history of periodontal disease often do best with three or four maintenance cleanings a year, which is what our periodontal membership plan includes.
Implants and More from a Dentist Beaverton, OR Patients Know
Dental Implants
A titanium post replaces the root of a lost tooth and supports a new crown. Dr. Lin evaluates each site with digital imaging and places the implant herself.
Periodontics
Healthy gums come before any implant. Scaling and root planing treat gum disease, and periodontal maintenance cleanings help keep it from returning.
Oral Surgery
Tooth extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts and implant-related surgery happen in our office, so the steps of a tooth replacement stay with one dentist.
Restorative Dentistry
Fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures for teeth that are damaged or gone. Many crowns are designed and milled in the office with CEREC and placed at one visit, and older amalgam fillings can be swapped for tooth-colored ones when that makes sense.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Whitening, veneers, bonding and reshaping can finish a smile once the restorative work is done. A consultation comes first, so the final shade and shape match what you pictured. Whitening is best done before new crowns are made, since crowns hold their original color.
Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Kristy Lin focuses her continuing education on implants, bone grafting and same-day CEREC crowns, among other areas. She earned her degree at the OHSU School of Dentistry and, as an Oregon State graduate, still cheers on the OSU Beavers at home with her husband.
Insurance & Financing
We accept most insurance plans, BlueCross BlueShield and Lincoln Financial among them, and check your eligibility by phone. Patients without coverage can join our In-House Membership Plan, and Cherry or CareCredit can help with implant costs, subject to approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Everglow Dental from Beaverton, and how do I get there?
Everglow Dental is about 4.5 miles from the Beaverton City Library, roughly a 10-minute drive. Take SW Hall Blvd north to SW Canyon Rd, then head west as it becomes TV Highway. If you want a dentist Beaverton, OR drivers can reach on one road, our office sits on the north side of the highway past SW 198th Ave.
Can I take TriMet from downtown Beaverton to your office?
Yes, TriMet Line 57-TV Hwy/Forest Grove runs from Beaverton along Canyon Road and TV Highway and stops directly in front of our office. It is a Frequent Service line, running every 15 minutes or less most of the day, every day. You can ride the whole way without a transfer, which is handy for anyone who prefers not to drive.
Does Dr. Lin place dental implants herself?
Yes, Dr. Lin has placed dental implants since 2021. She evaluates the site with CBCT imaging, and places the titanium post herself, so you stay with a dentist you already know. Patients often find that easier than splitting care between offices, and she explains each stage before it begins.
When is a bone graft needed before an implant?
A bone graft is needed when the jaw is too thin or too short to hold an implant securely. That often happens after a tooth has been missing for a while, because bone shrinks once the root is gone. Dr. Lin checks the site with 3D imaging and, if grafting is needed, explains the healing time before the implant goes in.
How does the adult membership plan work?
The adult regular plan costs $36 a month and covers two exams, two regular cleanings, all required x-rays, one emergency exam and topical fluoride each year. Patients who need gum care can choose the $64 periodontal plan, which includes three to four periodontal maintenance cleanings. Every plan also gives 15% off all dental treatments.
