Dr. Yao-Lin Tang’s formative years were spent on the island nation of his birth, Taiwan, where he received his Bachelor of Science in Dental Surgery. He later ventured to California to receive his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from University of Pacific School of Dentistry, and began his first practice in 1995. He has over twenty years of practical knowledge in cosmetic and general dentistry.

Far flung endeavors across the world have flavored Dr. Tang’s professional and personal experiences. In 2014, he has acted as a professional mentor at the Sirona CEREC Train the Trainer, held in Bensheim, Germany, wherein he shares his knowledge in CEREC CAD/CAM Restoration Systems and Digital Radiography—technology at the forefront of his current practice in San Mateo, California. Further, he is a mentor and visiting faculty at CDOCS.com, a Patterson certified CEREC trainer, and a Co-Leader at the CEREC study club of Taiwan.

Still, Yao-Lin finds time for the finer things: Moments spent exploring abroad with his family, a passion for photography, and—now and then—a fantastic round of golf.
