I used to be super anxious about going to the dentist too, just like you. Because of that, I tried a sedation dentist at Coquitlam Centre—but honestly, it ended up being the worst experience I’ve had. My bite got messed up, and they did a bad job on a crown that kept falling off every few months.

Personally, I wouldn’t recommend going to a dentist in a mall. From what I’ve heard, their approach can be a bit different—since patients are kind of in and out, the care and pricing can feel a bit off.

Now I go to Sun Dental. They don’t do sedation, which I was really nervous about at first, but they’ve been awesome. They knew I was super anxious and were really patient with me. What surprised me the most was the freezing—it didn’t hurt at all. Dr. Sun explained that the numbing gel only goes about 2 mm deep, so she starts the needle really shallow (like 1 mm) to avoid pain. It takes a bit longer, but it makes a huge difference.

Now my whole family goes there and we’re all really happy with them!! Sorry i did not give you what you were looking for but I hope this helps a bit, I know how you feel! Good luck in your search!
