DR. DIEN SUN
Dr. Sun is passionate about creating positive dental visits for children. With her warm approach and expertise in modern, minimally-invasive techniques, Dr. Sun strives to provide each child with personalized, compassionate care. Her greatest fulfillment in working with young patients comes from successfully turning a traditionally fearsome experience into one of ease and happiness.
Originally from San Diego, Dr. Sun completed her undergraduate degree at UCLA and her dental school degree at UCSF. She returned to Los Angeles and obtained her pediatric certificate from USC. It is here in sunny SoCal that she and her partner, Andrew, settled down with their mischievous tabby cat and sweet Aussie dog, and drew inspiration from for the eponymous Palm & Poppy theme.

Dr.Sun made my highly sensitive son feel very comfortable. My 3 year old had a terrible first dentist experience wheh he was 1.5 years and she made sure to resolve those fears by being patient and comforting to his needs while explaining everything she was doing. Her office has relaxing vibes and great atmosphere for nervous kids. She tops it all off with having a surprise vending machine at the end of the visit. And she validates parking if you park in the cotton structure . 10/10 recommend Dr.Sun
Couldn't be happier with my experience with Palm & Poppy Pediatric Dentistry. I have a 3-year-old toddler that hates sitting still... and he did great. The office was clean, calm and was a great environment for a child. It felt like we were the only patient there...HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
I can't recommend this pediatric dentist office enough! Dr. Sun is so accommodating and warm. The office has so many things to keep the kids entertained--the waiting area has lots of toys and tablets. The actual exam was very thorough too; Dr. Sun took her time to examine and clean his teeth with fluoride. I've been to other offices where the dentist just looks at the teeth for 30 seconds or less, so this was a completely different experience.
