Loved Dr. Sun-- would definitely recommend him if you're looking for a great dentist who is easy to talk to and down to earth! Very knowledgeable and will work with you to get the results that you want and develop a treatment plan that is right for you! I definitely always get tense when I'm going to the dentist but Dr .Sun made it a more pleasant experience by being very gentle and always stopping to make sure I was doing okay. :-)

Great dental experience with Nova Dental. Dr. Sun is very professional and caring. He was able to get my gum disease under control. He did a great job on my implant crown, it feels great and it look very natural. Cleaning is always thorough. You can tell Dr. Sun really cares about his patients, he took his time to answer all my questions and concerns. He have me a peace of mind, knowing all my dental needs were well taken care of. Scheduling is very easy and flexable. The practice is very nice and clean. The staff is friendly and helpful. I am so glad I found Nova Dental.
