He is a strong believer of "life-long learning", and is always trying to stay at the forefront of dentistry. Dr. Sun firmly believes that if one was to excel at what he/she does, one must continuously pursue the knowledge from the best clinicians in the world. This is the reason why he spends more than 250 hours on continuing education either abroad or locally in order to learn from the best. Our patients often benefit from these new technologies and treatment methods.
"I believe the best compliment from a patient is the referral they send. We value the support from our patients and we always treat them like family. Everyone on our team understands that SUCCESS IS BUILT ON THE SATISFACTION OF EACH AND EVERY PATIENT. Patient's comfort and well-being is why we call ourselves dental professionals!"
