About Highgate Medical Dental
Highgate Medical Dental is a dental practice on Kingsway in Burnaby, British Columbia. General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

Dr. Brian Son did an excellent job and was very informative in my opitions with my dental issues.
I’ve been coming to this clinic for over 10 years, and I’ve always had a great experience. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional, and they consistently provide excellent care. A special thank you to Dr. Brian Son for doing an amazing job repairing my chipped tooth. It looks fantastic and feels completely natural. I really appreciate the care, attention to detail, and quality of work. I highly recommend Dr. Brian Son and the entire team!
I've been going to this dentist for a few years and just recently I had the best experience. The two dentists, Dr. Son and Dr. Nasrin did an amazing job with my teeth and the dental assistants and admin staff were so lovely and accommodating
I’ve had two extractions so far with Brian Son, and he has been amazing. My first extraction was especially difficult for me because I hadn’t been to a dentist since I was 14 due to PTSD. At 26, I finally decided to return because of tooth pain, and I was extremely nervous. Brian made my first extraction a very smooth and professional experience. I needed oral sedation for comfort, but everything went much better than I expected. When I came back for my wisdom tooth extraction, I didn’t even need sedation just a numbing shot and it went great. Riley, his assistant, has also been incredibly helpful and supportive. She really helped me face my fears and made the entire experience much easier. Both of them have been amazing. Brian is a fantastic dentist. I don’t trust anyone else with my dental care. He always manages to fit me in even when he’s busy, answers all my questions, and does everything he can to make sure I’m comfortable and happy. Riley is incredibly, I love them both a lot, they deserve so much appreciation. Always ask for Riley and Brian and your experience will be amazing trust me yall. I genuinely love this place, and I’m actually excited to keep coming back and taking care of my teeth. Because of Brian and Riley, I’m no longer afraid of extractions, cleanings, or fillings, and I’m very grateful. Thank you both, you truly deserve recognition for your hard work and care.
Very expedient and impressive service👍🏽
