A true healer! Dr. Sun fixed my TMJ dysfunction using physical therapy and alleviated the pain I experienced daily, including headaches, as well as pain in my jaw, teeth, and neck.When I had my first appointment with Dr. Sun, I was at a low point in my life, I had pain everywhere and it was a struggle to get out of bed.Ive been seeing Dr. Sun for almost 4 years now and she has healed me from these ailments associated with my TMJ dysfunction.If you have headaches, neck pain, or jaw pain associated with TMJ dysfunction, then Dr. Sun is the right dentist for you. She does it all, deep cleans your teeth, treats gingivitis and other gum diseases, she does orthodontics, and she also treats all kinds of ailments associated with TMJ dysfunction such as chronic pain and sleep apnea.

As a graduate from dental school I was looking for a specialist that can help me with a severe tmj that developed over the course of 4 years in dental school.My limitation to open was so minimal that I had a hard time eating, chewing and even the basic of brushing my teeth. I could not do any of that without the excruciating pain that I felt constantly in trying to open. Im so glad I found Dr. Sun, after explaining to me the process of different treatments, she wanted to do most minimal to save me money. In adjusting my bite for a few weeks it started feeling better. After a month of wearing her temporary bite adjustment, my opening had return to normal. I wasnt feeling anymore pain to eating or even opening wide. However I am more weary of limiting my opening from being too wide.Dr. Sun took care of me like I was her own family member. Very caring, knowledgeable and kind. Shes a rare gem to find for such a complex specialty in TMJ.

I feel so lucky to have Dr. Sun for my TMJ treatment. I’m a dentist and was introduced to Dr. Sun by my colleague. Not a lot of dentists including myself have extensive training in treating TMJ disease, thus it’s rare to find Dr. Sun whom properly guides jaws back to correct position to balance muscle, joint, and teeth.My TMJ/facial muscle pain has been getting progressively worst for the last 4 years. I would have to massage my face muscles throughout the day to try and relax them. Dr. Sun fabricated a day and night appliance and instantly after one night my muscles felt relieved. It’s been a month since wearing my appliances and my face looks noticeably more relaxed. It has been such a pleasure working with Dr. Sun. She is very kind, knowledgeable, and generous with her time. I am eager to learn from her and hopefully help my own patients with TMJ in the future. Thank you for your work Dr. Sun.

Dr. Sun has been my dentist for the past 32 years. I will follow Dr. Sun no matter where she goes, and shes not allowed to die before I do!!!Dr. Sun is driven by her extreme passion and perfectionism for dentistry and orthodontics. Thats also how she treats all her patients, with exceptional care and love. But her best quality is her integrity and compassion for people. I also love how the office and the bathroom are always super clean!Dr. Sun you are absolutely the bestest of the best!THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART FOR CARING!

Let me start off by saying I use to hate going to the dentist until I found Dr. Sun. I have been going to her for a couple of years now and I absolutely love how gentle and caring she is! She explains everything so thoroughly and she is great at making me feel so comfortable. She is one of a kind and what really sets her apart from other dentist is her HONESTY and INTEGRITY which speaks volumes. She really feels like part of my family.Even though I now live in Texas I always make sure to make my appointment to see her as part of my bi-yearly visit. She is hands down the very best!

I’ve gone to many dentist and always had trouble finding one who truly cares about my issues. I am so so thankful I met Dr. Sun. She truly cares about and has taken care of all my dentistry needs. She is very knowledgeable and has taught me so much about my dental hygiene. From cleanings, gum health, my orthodontic needs, and much much more. I am very glad to have found such a great all around dentist. If anyone is also looking for a great dentist, Dr. Sun is the one!!

Dr. Sun is amazing. She literally saved me. I was suffering from chronic jaw pain, 24/7 for several months. When I came to her, she knew almost immediately what was wrong. After taking some scans, she confirmed I was having TMJ issues, and was able to recommend the proper treatment for me. One day after wearing my mouthguard, my pain was completely gone! She has been so informative, and truly cares about the health and well-being of her patients. I’m so grateful to Dr. Sun for everything she has done for me.

Dr. Sun is what every person hopes for and more in dentist. She is gold. I have been coming to her for over 10 years and would not think of seeing anyone else for my dental needs. Her level of integrity and honesty is something that you cannot find from many dentists. She truly cares about her patients as if they were family. Dr. Sun is constantly developing herself professionally by attending conferences, speaking at conferences and reading current research. Her knowledge of dentistry is incredible. It is reassuring to know that your dentist is making sound decisions that will benefit you and not her pocket. She has also been my daughters dentist since they were 2 years old. They love her and enjoy coming to see her for a cleaning. You will find nothing but top notch service and quality from Dr. Sun. I highly recommend her for any of your dental needs.

Dr. Sun is a life saver. As a medical student, I am very busy and dont have much time for self-care. However, when I couldnt stand the pain from my wisdom teeth, Dr. Sun was kind enough to open up her schedule to see me. She was very thorough and skillful. She was able to take out both of my wisdom teeth with very minimal pain. Moreover, she didnt have to break them into little pieces to take them out! Shes not only affordable, but shes also very caring and follows up with her patients. Even though I live a little bit over an hour away, shes definitely worth the drive. She focuses on preventative care for the long-term health. I will definitely go back to see her for my yearly checkup.

Dr. Sun is the absolute best! She is incredibly skilled and always provides the best care. Ive been her patient for almost 20 years and the work speaks for itself. I always receive compliments on my smile and even though I moved to San Francisco over ten years ago, I have kept Dr. Sun as my dentist/orthodontist!

I have been seeing Dr Sun for my dental care for over 15 years. Throughout that time she has provided me with superb care-responsive personally to any concerns I have, coming in for an emergency I had late one evening, and personally calling me after procedures to be sure I am doing well. I have complete confidence that Dr. Sun makes decisions about my care based on what is best for my dental health. She does whatever she can to allow me to keep my own teeth healthy and does not recommend any unnecessary procedures. I am a physician who has seen many dentists, and Dr. Sun is the most thorough, caring, honest and moral of any dentist I know.

I was referred to Dr Sun by a friend from work, and am thankful for it. I needed emergency dental work (admittedly from my own neglect) and she was very caring and helpful. She has helped to educate me along the way about proper dental hygiene and preventative maintenance for my future. She genuinely cares about her patients, and makes you feel like family when you’re in her office.

Review №16

Firstly, I would like to express how Dr. Sun changed my view of going to the dentist. Ever since I was a young child, I hated going to the dentist because I was always in pain after these visits. For every dentist visit, my gums would bleed, the tooth drills would give me goosebumps and give me painful headaches, and I would cry anytime the dentist would examine my teeth.Once I was introduced to Dr. Sun, my experience with dentistry changed and soon enough my dental health dramatically improved. Dr. Sun is the most kind, polite, and understanding professional woman I have ever met. She cares for her patients like her children, and I am incredibly grateful to have been given the opportunity to be her patient over the past year of my TMJ treatment. She has given me the tools to improve my dental health and allowed me to have a new appreciation for going to the dentist. I travel over 200 miles once a month to see Dr. Sun and I would never change that in a million years. The fact that my commute to see her is so long goes to show the type of dentist she is. She is more than just a dentist to me, she is a life saver and someone who I look up to every day. Because of Dr. Sun, I am a changed man for the better and my overall health has exceeded my expectations. I am forever grateful for Dr. Sun!

Dr. Sun has been taking care of me from childhood all the way to college. Thanks to her I never had a fear of going to the dentist. She is always generous with her time and made sure that I received the best care. It was thanks to her that I can smile with confidence. She took my crooked teeth and gave me a smile I always am ready to share. Dr.Sun makes her patients feel more than just patients. I cant thank her enough.

I went to Dr. Sun for some jaw and ear pain. Come to find out I needed an infected tooth removed. She is really gentle and I have had no problems with any of my postoperative care. She really gets to the source of the problem and devises a plan to fix it as well as keeping in touch and asking for updates. I really enjoy going to her for all of my dental needs.

Having known Dr. Alice Sun had four decades of experience and service to people, I can say that she is honest and sincere and is always truthful with her patients. The truth benefited me to face my problems. From improper cleaning of my teeth to Sleep Apnea and migraine headaches she gave me very beneficial suggestions as to how to overcome these problems inexpensively. In my experience most dentists did not want to deal with natural solutions to dental problems, but rather promote tooth extraction and implants. Dr. Suns emphasis is on preserving original teeth.

My entire family and I have been seeing Dr. Sun for about 10 years now. Many things in my life has changed and with many ups and downs, but the AMAZINGLY- AWESOME and GREAT SERVICE that Dr. Sun provides to me and my family has proven to be unconditional and full of love, care, dedication and righteousness. There has been several instances where my husband or I, or someone in my family was suffering from a very bad toothache or oral infection and without any hesitation, Dr. Sun would come to our rescue and would even see us on holidays, late weekend nights and would stay open extremely late through the night to help with our dental needs. Dr. Sun is very passionate about her work and has always been honest, humble, and will always do the right thing for you. I’ve never once had a bad experience with Dr. Sun and my children are all in love with her. I’ve never seen anyone excited to visit a dentist, but my three children cheered with joy every time they were told that we were visiting Dr. Sun. The preventative care techniques that Dr. Sun uses has proven to be positively life-changing and with great results. My eldest daughter started seeing Dr. Sun since she was barely 2 years old and Dr. Sun noticed that my daughter’s jaw wasn’t growing properly and right away Dr. Sun offered non surgical treatments that has helped re-align my daughters jaws and prevented us with very expensive medical surgeries in the long run. GREAT WORK DR. SUN! You are like a god-mother to us all! 😀

Like my review on Yelp says...It looks like Im updating every few years. But services, people, and things can change, right?Not Dr. Sun. She even pretty much looks the same after the years. Ive moved around the state, Im still a good hour+ away up the 405 from her office, but her work is worth the trip. Dental work can be pretty intimidating, but she helps patient understand whats going on and really does treat you like a member of her own family. Dont ever retire, okay??? Thanks, Dr. Sun!

Im writing this review for the most caring and compassionate dentists Ive had the pleasure of meeting. I stumbled onto her yelp when looking for a new dentist and came into her office with lots of lower pain in my teeth, where we discovered I actually had TMJ problems. I originally went to another dentist before her, and they wanted me to do root canals. Good think I made my best judgments and eventually found Dr. Sun! She saved me from getting more problems. She texts you to make sure you are okay and checks in with you (I would tell her how often you would like her to contact you). She is very sweet and really is so passionate about helping others and the world. She has a special soul, there arent many people out there like her. She is like a godmother to me and I wouldnt want to be under the care of anyone else in regards to my TMJ. She talks you through everything to make sure you are well-informed and keeps you smiling and happy (Hence, the Sun in her name). As a future psychologist, it is my best judgment that you definitely will be in good hands with Dr. Sun whatever treatment you need.

Dr Sun is by far the best dentist i have ever had. She sticks by her word and has the highest integrity in dealing with her patients and her work.

Review №24

Dr. Sun is an amazing dentist with many years of experience. She tells it how it is without using scare tactics. She has been helpful with my Mom’s sleep apnea, helping her get a custom mouth guard (which as the person who has to hear the sleep apnea I can testify it has reduced significantly). Ive also consulted her for teeth straightening, telling me I’d probably have to pull teeth and the long-term effects of it. I had no idea at the time that this was a common practice and even though I wish it wasn’t the case I’m glad she was straightforward and told me the situation - educating me - versus having me go to someone else and learn last minute that I’d have to have teeth pulled while being tied into another process. Thank you Dr. Sun. :)

After my childhood dentist retired, I went on a search for a new dentist I trusted. After seeing a few, some of whom were recommended by Neighbors and doctors, I encountered Dr. Sun. I found her to be enthusiastic about her work, something I hadn’t seen since Dr Mentas took care of my teeth.She cleaned my teeth and whitened them, too! She reviewed a care plan and signposted our next steps for that area. And of course, I left with a toothcare kit. (Remember to change out those toothbrushes every quarter!)The new facility is beautiful and airy, too.

Review №26

I saw Dr. Sun for TMJ issues. I saw just her during my first appointment and starting at the second appointment she brought in another dentist (Dr. Soto) to help her out and teach her things.Appointments are extremely long. I was never there for less than 3 hours. She communicates heavily via text and wanted me to drop everything and come in right away multiple times a week. The first week I was her patient, I saw her twice, had to get x-rays at a different location on a third day, and she wanted me to come in even more.She is in network with my insurance. She claimed to my insurance that Dr. Soto was my treating dentist and she never saw me. Dr. Soto is not contracting with any insurance companies. Because of some deceptive practices (she claimed she didnt have time to check my insurance because I was a last minute appointment - even though I wasnt) they have you pay upfront so you have to send claims to your insurance. But they wont give you any paperwork to submit it without a fight.I have since seen another dentist for my TMJ and they thought that their treatment plan and devices were crazy. They had never seen any mouth guards or devices like it. They found their treatments antiquated and dangerous to my jaw alignment.
