Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered
Have a question before your first visit? Here are answers to some of the most common things patients ask us.
How often should I see the dentist for a check-up and cleaning?
For most patients, we recommend a routine exam and professional cleaning every six months. However, depending on your individual oral health needs — such as a history of gum disease, higher risk of cavities, or ongoing treatment. During your comprehensive exam, we’ll recommend a recall interval that’s right for you.
Do you accept student dental insurance plans?
Yes — we direct bill most major insurance providers, including plans commonly held by SFU students. We recommend bringing your insurance information to your first appointment so we can verify your coverage and walk you through what’s included. If you have questions about your plan, our front desk team is happy to help you understand your benefits before treatment begins.
I have dental anxiety. How do you help patients who are nervous?
Dental anxiety is very common and something we take seriously at University Dental. Dr. Sun and our team are experienced in working with anxious patients and will take your pace and comfort into account throughout every appointment. We encourage you to let us know about your concerns when booking so we can take extra steps to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
What should I bring to my first appointment?
Please bring a valid piece of ID, your dental insurance card (if applicable). If you have any previous dental records or X-rays, feel free to bring those along as well — though it’s not required.
I haven't been to the dentist in a few years. Is that okay?
Absolutely, and you’re not alone. Many of our patients come to us after a gap in dental care. There’s no judgment here — our priority is to help you get back on track.

Dental Exams & Check-Ups
Routine oral examinations help detect issues early — from cavities to gum disease — before they require more complex treatment. We recommend check-ups every six months for most patients.

Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our dental hygienists perform thorough scaling and polishing to remove plaque and tartar build-up that regular brushing and flossing cannot address. A clean foundation for a healthy mouth.

Dental Fillings
We use composite resin to restore teeth affected by decay. Tooth-coloured fillings blend naturally with your enamel and are a durable, aesthetically mindful solution for cavities of various sizes.

Digital X-Rays
Low-radiation digital radiographs allow us to identify concerns between and beneath the teeth that aren’t visible to the naked eye — with greater speed and comfort than traditional film X-rays.
