About Me

Hi, my name is Lina Russell. I have been in the dental industry for over eighteen years. I have a passion for creating a patient experience and love teaching offices how to get organized while also complying with OSHA standards. I believe in ethical dentistry and upholding the oath to care for our patients.

I have a certificate in dental assisting and started my career as a dental assistant with Dr. Anthony Nguyen of Pro Smile Dental care in San Ramon in 2008. I later moved into the front office, where I learned insurance billing and treatment planning. Over the years, I worked in offices, temping and assisting in all areas of the office. I received my Associate's Degree in 2021 from Carrington College, where I was preparing to obtain my hygiene license.

During my degree program, I decided I loved working in the front and teaching so much that I wanted to change gears with my career. Fast forward, I now have my own dental consulting business.

I have extensive knowledge working with many different dental programs, including Cerec, Invisalign, OpenDental, Eagle Soft, Dexis, Dentrix, Yapi, Flex, Lighthouse, Demandforce, Weave, and more.

I enjoy spending my free time with my family. I have three amazing children Lillian is twenty-three, Edward is twenty-one, and Sophia is fourteen. We love to watch movies, play board games, BBQ and hike the trails around Livermore. We especially love the summertime when Livermore downtown comes alive with festivals and art fairs.
