Charles Lin, D.D.S., M.B.A.

Dr. Charles Lin was born in Taiwan but moved to the Toronto area with his family when he was 13.  At age 20 he was on the move again—alone this time—to attend his first year of dental school at the University of Western Ontario.  He graduated as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (D.D.S.) in 1979.  By this time he had grown to love London and decided to settle here permanently.

He worked as an associate dentist for two years and established his own practice in 1981.  In the ensuing years Charles remained deeply committed to continuing education and achieved the following fellowships:  Fellow, International College of Oral Implantology; Fellow, Academy of General Dentistry; Fellow, Academy for Implants and Transplants; Fellow, Academy of Dentistry International.  He also completed his M.B.A. at the Ivey School of Business, the University of Western Ontario, in 1996.

He is currently an Adjunct Clinical Professor at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, U.W.O. and was recently appointed to the position of Assistant Director, Alumni Affairs at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, U.W.O.

Charles is married and has 3 lovely children. His favourite activity is spending time with his family and they especially enjoy family trips. Community involvement is also important to Charles. He was proud to lead the Supernova girls' soccer team to the national championship in 2004. He encourages social responsibility and does his best to give back to the community by reaching out to those in need.

The move to the new location in February 2007 has made it possible for the practice to grow even more.  The brand new building allowed for the introduction of new equipment and state of the art technology.  Charles is proud to welcome his new associate, Dr. Vernon Ip.

Vernon Ip, H.B.Sc., D.D.S. 

Vern is happy to be a part of the Wonderland Family Dentistry team. Dr. Lin has been quite an inspiration throughout his life – he has been his dentist since 1981, when Vern was just four and a half.

After successfully completing his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Western Ontario and receiving accolades for his skills in Operative Dentistry, Vern worked up north for two years before moving back to London in October 2007.

Known for his big laugh and fun loving attitude, he has become a favourite amongst kids and adults alike – making the trip to the dentist an entertaining experience.

In Vern's free time he is an avid music lover and is always looking for a good badminton game – just book the gym!
