I've had a great experience every time I visit this dental office. The service is consistently professional, friendly, and reassuring. Dr. Sun Tao truly stands out as an excellent and trustworthy dentist. Previously, I had a very unpleasant experience at another dental clinic, where I was given what I later realized was an overly aggressive and unnecessary treatment plan. They even recommended that I get two dental crowns. When I came to Dr. Sun, he carefully reviewed my case and clearly explained that those crowns were not necessary at all, and that a simple filling would be sufficient. Dr. Sun personally performed the filling, and the entire process went smoothly. His technique is excellent, his hands are steady, and it's obvious that he is very experienced and highly skilled. The result was outstanding, and the overall experience was far better than at the previous clinic. What I appreciate most is that Dr. Sun never pushes unnecessary treatments or procedures just to make money. He genuinely puts the patient's best interest first, which is rare and incredibly reassuring. I feel very lucky to have found Dr. Sun. As a bonus, he also speaks a bit of Mandarin, which makes communication even more comfortable. Highly recommend Dr. Sun to anyone looking for an honest, professional, and skilled dentist. read more

Dr Sun and his staff are clearly outstanding! My family has been going to see Dr Sun for several years. The work is always fantastic because he and his team care about the patient and the outcome. I recommend Dr Sun without question for children, teens, adults and seniors. read more

Amazing staff. Dr Sun was very nice. Had minor oral surgery as a walk-in, and the procedure was expertly done.

Initially everything appeared to have gone well with my dental fillings but I had pain when biting down. I notified dentist Tao Sum and he told me this was normal sensitivity and it would go away. It did not go away. I came back and expressed my concerns regarding the dental work done and my symptoms but he told me "it was all in my head". Please be aware: if you bring up pain that is not going away and get dismissed please seek another dentist. It is not normal for the pain to stay. read more

Embarrassingly enough, I hadn't been to the Dentist since the Pandemic. I quarantined with my now husband in Newport Beach, and post-Pandemic, I simply had not taken the time to find a new Dentist. Until now. My husband recommended I go to his Dentist, but when I looked at the Yelp reviews for his Dentist, they were just average. Then I saw Dr. Sun's Yelp reviews and thought..."this seems like a great place to go." And it was! Dr. Sun and his staff were incredibly welcoming. The office is super clean. They were on time. And there was no pressure to due procedures you don't need. In Los Angeles, I had to pay for parking. I think I saw the Dentist briefly, if at all, each visit. Not here. Dr. Sun spent a lot of time looking at my X-Rays (which he did for free), going over my history, and asking me questions. So, the point of this review is that I am back on my every-six-month Dentist regime happily with Dr. Sun and his team. I highly recommend. read more

Dr Sun is an amazing dentist who is very caring for his staff and his clients. I have been coming here for years and will continue to refer all my friends and family to him. read more

Dr Sun is the best in the game. He's honest, caring, very personable, and has a great staff to back him up. I used to fear going to the dentist and now it's a very pleasant experience. He only recommends procedures that you actually need and walks you through them every step of the way. Thanks Dr Sun for changing the narrative in dentistry. read more

Dr. Sun is the best! After bad experiences with 2 other dental offices, my mom recommended him to me and raved about him (he has offices in Apple Valley and Costa Mesa). I've seen him twice and couldn't be happier. I had a pretty bad, persistent toothache from a cavity, and two other dentists recommended root canals at several hundred dollars. Dr. Sun told me that he recommended removing the tooth (a back molar), and since it was impacting a wisdom tooth, the wisdom tooth would grow in in about 6 months and replace it. I was lucky because I had a "replacement tooth" right next to it. I don't know why none of the other dentists told me this, but it was the best option and only cost me a little over 100. He extracted the tooth right then and there, and it was an immediate relief and healed very quickly. I came back for a full/cleaning exam and was completely happy with Dr. Sun's expertise, professionalism, and kindness. Dental work has always scared the beejezus out of me and I have sensitive gums, and I'm sure he can tell by the death grip I had on the chair arms, but everything was completely fine, even without anesthesia for the cleaning. He is honest, straightforward, and kind, stopping to ask every once in a while if I'm OK during a procedure and explaining exactly what he's going to do, exactly what I need, and how long he recommend I can wait before needing it done. He didn't try to nickel and dime me like other offices. His hygienist is great and very sweet too (I wish I could remember his name!) I can't recommend Dr. Sun enough. He doesn't take my HMO insurance but since his prices are more than reasonable, it isn't a problem and he's worth it. The office is very nice and clean too. I think I found my life-dentist and I'm excited! He has a referral special (full exam and cleaning for 75) so let me know if you're looking to find your life-dentist too! read more

I've been a patient of Dr Sun's for years except for brief break due to insurance issues. He does not do unnecessary procedures to rack up money, unlike previous dentists who said I needed crowns when I didn't. He works with me on insurance and they accommodate my special needs. Finding Dr. Sun was the best thing. read more

I LOVE MY DENTIST ! Words you truly never hear, I feel so lucky to be able to say that phrase . Dr Tao is gentle and patient and so very kind . His office is very clean , inviting and professional. He is a dentist that gives you a forecast of what is needed and doesn't sell you on insecurities of vanity or emotion. Mentionable as well is the front desk Lupe , I swear she can do anything . She makes you feel very welcome , she makes room on the books for new and existing customers alike . She is amazing at scheduling and putting your nerves at ease . They are all very delightful and wonderful to be around . This practice is the very example of when you have a great team great work happens . I recommend highly ......

Great staff. very accommodating and scheduling was easy. Did not get an automated messanging system, which has been case in past doctor experiences. Great experience. Will go to again. recommended by sister go to them as well. read more

Dr.Sun is great. I first went to him in 2014, when a filling fell out. It was gold and he was able to clean the tooth and reuse the filing....I had it in my purse for 6 months, only charge $50. I have now been going to him for 5 years. I had my first cavity last month, I was really scared. He had to remove an old filling and redrill the entire tooth... BUT it was painless and he did such a great job. I haven't had any problems with it. He is a great Dentist. read more

What do you look for in a dentist? I look for professionalism, skill, latest technology, communications, and staff friendliness. This place has it all. After having this really nagging problem with one my back teeth (cracked it on eating crab) fixed after multiple other dentists weren't able to fix it, we shuttle the whole family across Los Angeles to come to Dr. Sun's practice. read more

Dr. SUN is great! My doctor for more than 10 years... I'm always comfortable when I go to his office, he carefully listen and answer all my questions. read more

Unfortunately I've been to many dentists in my life.. some good and some bad. But there is no question that dr sun is the best dentist I've ever been to!! Quality work, professionalism and most importantly compassion for his patients. I'll spare you all the details but just know he is Best in Class. No question, bottom line. Many thanks to Dr Sun!!! read more

My family have been with Dr Sun for many years, always an honest diagnoses. No pressure to do procedures like other dentil offices, the staff is always welcoming and professional I highly recommend Dr Sun for your next dental visit read more

Dr Sun handles simple to complex dental treatment with great skill. What's best is how comfortable I am during the treatment. I feel no anxiety when visiting Dr Sun and his staff. He has a very reassuring manner and takes the time to address concerns and answer questions. He never rushes, but he gets it done quickly because he really knows what he's doing. Cost is much less important than the quality of the medical and dental care -- but I will say that costs are reasonable for outstanding dental care. read more

Dr. Sun is awesome! We went to him about 10 years ago for several years as he was highly recommended and was covered by our insurance. Then insurance changed and between my husband and I we visited several dentists and hated them all. They wanted to remove healthy teeth, would always come up with some ridiculously expensive bill to do this or that. We were fed up, cancelled our insurance, and went back to Dr. Sun paying retail which is worth it when you're getting an HONEST dentist who actually cares about your teeth. We've been so happy over the years members from our family now go to him as well. We'll never use another dentist, he's the BEST!! read more

It is very difficult to find a good dentist these days. I changed many dentists over the years until i found Dr. Sun several years ago. Dr. Sun is very professional and always put patient's care and feeling to his highest priority over anything else. No matter how busy he is, he always try to make sure i got the best treatment options. He also makes follow up calls to make sure everything is alright. Thist is very rare in today's busy life. I never posted reviews on Yelp. Now konwing Dr Sun is on Yelp, i wanted to share my experience. i highly recommend Dr. Sun. Did I mention that Dr. Sun doesn't over charge like many other dentists out there? read more

I was more than happy with my experience. No wait time and their ability to provide excellent service seemed to be second nature to them. Thank you to all of the kind professionals who work there! read more

If you are looking for a great dentist - look no further. Dr. Sun is a skilled and patient dentist. He answers all your questions and goes out of his way to accommodate his patients.

If they allowed me to - I would give him 6 stars! read more

My new dentist for life. I've been searching for a dentist for years. Every 6 months I go to a new dentist because every time I have a negative experience. Luckily I got a flyer at my home for Dr Sun. Decided to read his reviews and Yelp then decided to make an appointment. First off, it's a nice office, staff is extremely nice. Dr Sun is really sweet and explained everything he was looking at. Experience was awesome. I even made my next appointment for my next 6 month check up, which I never do. FYI if you have TMJ, he and his hygienist are gentle. Something I struggle every time I go to the dentist. First time ever that I leave a dentist and my TMJ doesn't cause me issues after. read more

My former dentist wouldn't even come into the room after my teeth were cleaned to check them after I had told him I wasn't going to do any cosmetic procedures on my bottom teeth and then had the audacity to charge me for his services, which was removed after I had caught this . Dr. Sun was recommended to me by a close relative and have now been going to him for over two years. Best dentist ever!!!Just saw him again this week and requested that I come in for more than two visits a year for cleaning, and he stated that was totally unnecessary. Former dentist had convinced me I needed to come in 4x a year. Dr. Sun does the cleaning himself and the polishing is done by his assistant. Lovely doctor, lovely staff. read more

Dr. Sun office is the best dental office i have ever been to. they don't try to up sale you on procedures you don't need and DR. Sun is a perfectionist so you will get the best care. read more

I was recommended to Dr. Sun by a coworker after I had another dental office try to take advantage of me and my money and I wanted a second opinion. I could not be happier that I have found Dr. Sun!! He told me that I did not even need the procedure that the other firm had said was mandatory. I have been going to him ever since (for several years) and have always found the experience both pleasant and refreshing. He is honest, spends time with you, his prices are very reasonable and he and does not try to scam you like so many other dentists these days. I recommended him to another coworker who was afraid of dentists and had been having serious mouth pains. She went to him and he told her that she didn't have any tooth, problems, she just had a sinus infection, so she went and got antibiotics and was so happy that the pain she had felt for a while was gone. She raved about him as well. His office staff is also always friendly and professional. Best dentist I have been to ever!!! read more
