Convenient Access from Orenco Station
A cracked molar rarely waits for a convenient week, which is why people look for a dentist near Orenco Station before they need one. Everglow Dental, at our office on SW Tualatin Valley Highway in Aloha, is about 8 minutes south by car. Dr. Kristy Lin pairs that short drive with in-office technology that keeps many repairs to a single visit.
From the Orenco MAX Station, take NE Alder St to NE Century Blvd and drive south. Turn east on E Main St, go south on SE Cornelius Pass Rd to TV Highway and turn left. After about 0.8 miles heading east, our building appears on the left, the north side of the highway, completing a 3.5-mile drive.
Navigate to 20285 SW Tualatin Valley Hwy, Aloha, OR 97003, between SW 209th and SW 198th Avenues, or pull up Everglow Dental on Google Maps. Neighbors in Tanasbourne and Rock Creek have their own pages with routes from their side of town.
A Practice That Suits Orenco Station's Pace
Orenco Station is a Washington County neighborhood within Hillsboro, planned in the New Urbanist style around its MAX station, which serves the Blue and Red Lines. Pacific Realty Associates developed it with Costa Pacific Homes as a walkable, transit-oriented community set among high-tech employers. Apartments, condominiums, townhomes, live-work units and single-family houses sit close to narrow streets, with garages tucked onto alleys.
Central Park anchors the retail core, and a seasonal farmers market brings produce, crafts and music to the neighborhood. Nearby, Orenco Woods Nature Park follows Rock Creek, with trails, a nature play area and a bridge on the Rock Creek Regional Trail. The park land was once part of the Oregon Nursery Company.
People here tend to plan their days carefully, often around a train schedule or a shift at a nearby tech campus. Our office opens at 8 AM Monday through Thursday and is closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so an early weekday slot usually works best. The drive back north along Cornelius Pass Road is just as quick as the trip down.
What Orenco Station Residents Should Know About Dental Technology
With so many high-tech employers nearby, Orenco Station patients often ask good questions about the tools in a dental office. These tools make diagnosis clearer and can shorten treatment. Digital x-rays appear on screen right away, and an intraoral camera captures close-up photos of the problem tooth.
Every treatment room has a TV, so you look at those images with Dr. Lin instead of taking her word for it. For implant planning or a complicated root, CBCT imaging builds a three-dimensional view of the bone and nerves. A digital scanner replaces messy impression trays, and the same scan feeds the CEREC unit that designs and mills ceramic crowns in our office.
The payoff is fewer trips. When a tooth cracks, Dr. Lin can often diagnose it, prepare it and place a finished crown in one appointment, provided the tooth is a good candidate. The cracked teeth treatment page explains the warning signs, such as pain when biting or sudden sensitivity to cold.
Longer visits, such as an extraction followed by a bone graft, can feel daunting. For patients with strong dental anxiety or a sensitive gag reflex, oral sedation may be available: a prescribed sedative taken before the appointment, with clear instructions provided ahead of time. Our team also explains each step as it happens and keeps the pace manageable.
If a crown pops off or a filling falls out, keep the piece, avoid chewing on that side and call us. New patients can book the $39 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, which includes a focused exam, any necessary x-rays and treatment recommendations, and we strive to fit emergency exams into the schedule.
Prompt, Practical Care from a Dentist Near Orenco Station
Emergency Dentistry
Toothaches that keep you awake, broken or knocked-out teeth, lost fillings or crowns, abscesses and jaw injuries. Our team works hard to provide timely care when a problem needs prompt attention.
Restorative Dentistry
Composite fillings, crowns, bridges and dentures rebuild damaged teeth. CEREC lets many crowns be completed in one visit, with no temporary to wear in between.
Endodontics
Root canal therapy removes infection from inside a tooth so it can be kept rather than pulled. Most treated back teeth then get a crown for strength against future cracks.
Oral Surgery
Extractions, bone grafting and sinus lifts are handled here when a tooth cannot be saved. Dr. Lin plans the next step, often an implant, at the same time.
Dental Implants
A titanium post replaces a missing root and supports a natural-looking crown. Planning starts with digital imaging, so you see the site before any surgery is scheduled. Members of our In-House Membership Plan receive 15% off implant treatment as well.
Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Kristy Lin directs much of her continuing education toward same-day CEREC crowns, implants and bone grafting, the procedures that matter most when a tooth breaks. Carole, our office manager since the practice opened in 2016, has spent more than four decades in dentistry and manages the office day to day.
Insurance & Financing
We accept most insurance plans, AlwaysCare and MetLife among them, and verify eligibility with a quick phone call. Without coverage, our In-House Membership Plan starts at $36 a month for adults and includes an emergency exam each year. Unexpected treatment can also be financed through Cherry or CareCredit, subject to approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Everglow Dental from Orenco Station, and how do I get there?
Everglow Dental is about 3.5 miles from the Orenco MAX Station, roughly an 8-minute drive. Head south on NE Century Blvd, east on E Main St, then south on SE Cornelius Pass Rd to TV Highway and turn left. Residents who want a dentist near Orenco Station can reach our north-side office after a short eastbound stretch.
What should I do if I crack a tooth biting something hard?
Call us promptly, even if the pain fades. Rinse with warm water, avoid chewing on that side and use a cold compress if the cheek swells. Cracks tend to spread, and early treatment gives the best chance of saving the tooth with a crown rather than needing a root canal or an extraction.
Can I see my x-rays during the appointment?
Yes, every treatment room has a TV where Dr. Lin shows your x-rays and intraoral photos while you are in the chair. She points out what she sees, whether that is a cavity, a crack or bone loss, and explains your options. Seeing the problem yourself makes decisions about treatment much easier.
Can you remove a tooth and replace it with an implant here?
Yes, extractions and implants are both handled in our office. Dr. Lin removes the tooth, adds a bone graft if the site needs one and places the implant once the area is ready. Keeping every step with the same dentist means one set of records and one person who knows the whole plan.
Does the membership plan include emergency visits?
Yes, each In-House Membership Plan includes one emergency exam a year, along with two exams, cleanings, required x-rays and topical fluoride. Membership also takes 15% off all dental treatments. The adult regular plan is $36 a month, the periodontal plan is $64 and the child plan is $25.
