Alma Dental is great. From reception, to the hygenists, to the dentists, they are all spot on. When he comes in for an inspection Dr. Sidhu always sits down to talk for a minute,shakes your hand, looks you in the eye- very friendly and genuine guy.
Reception is adept at getting your insurance papers and appointments in order- they will call a day before to remind you of an appt, all the hygenists are gentle and thorough. I reccomend Alma for anyone looking for a dentist. -

My quest for a dentist started in the wonderful world of yelp. finding a dentist is like finding a hairdresser. One wrong cut (painful filling) can result in never coming back. Alma Dental gets a lot of things right. The receptionist is friendly (which should be expected) but also takes care of insurance papers. She will send you the cost ahead of time so there isn't any awkward "oh my goodness, I have to pay HOW MUCH?" discussion. I wanted a "nice" place to go to, but not to the extent that my dental dollars are going to herman miller furniture, flat screen tvs, and granite countertop. Alma dental was clean and had small tvs and a typical dental office cleanliness. The hygienists are gentle yet thorough, and actually make me want to get my teeth cleaned more often! The dentist himself was young yet professional as I had to get some major work done. My only negative probably comes from myself in that I hate going to the dentist (who likes it in the first place) and I believe the next big thing could be creating a new experience for dental patients altogether. The world is full of collaborations, looking forward to the first dentist that makes the shift.

I've lived in the US for 15 years, the land of heavy-selling dentists who over treat. So, last time I was in the States & went to the dentist, I was told I had 10 cavities. ARGH! Needless to say, I had to get a second opinion, and all of my classmates at UBC swear by Alma Dental.
Loads of students go to Alma Dental, because it accepts the UBC extended health plan, and it begins with "A," putting it at the top of the list when searching for network coverage. BUT! People keep going back to Alma & recommending it because the dentists are awesome.
So, I was a bit afraid of going, worrying that I had 10 cavities. I had the most thorough teeth cleaning of my life by a most competent dental hygienist, had a full set of x-rays done, and then a good examination and chit chat with the dentist about my teeth.
Cavity verdict? I really have just one. Wow. Best $40 I've ever spent. The filling has been great with no pain or sensitivity and I definitely plan on going back next time I need a check up. -

Dentists get a bad wrap. Why?
Because we are scared of them as kids, and it just sticks. Kinda like Polident.
Well, have no fear, cause Alma Dental is here. For your most important part of your body. Well... one of them at least.
One of the hygienists hums a lovely little ditty throughout most of the cleaning and I gotta admit. It's kind of relaxing.
They are under the UBC extended health plan here, so it is quite cheap to keep your smile looking like a million bucks if you are a student. I paid around $25 last visit.
I gotta say that for the dreaded dentist visit, this place is nearly as good as it gets. Perhaps if they offered laughing gas in the waiting room I would give em 5 happy/dizzy stars. -

Dr. Sidhu and the staff are great but why do all dental offices (mostly the hygenists) make you feel like a criminal? I floss 1-2x a day and use a $200 toothbrush and can't help it if I have bad teeth. I'm doing all I can but they make me feel like I'm doing something very terrible if i'm a couple months late for my cleaning. Dr. Sidhu has been extremely compassionate and helpful.

Everyone in the office is very friendly, the appointments always start on time, and they have very convenient hours. The hygenist is just lovely and the dentist who sees both my partner and I is a good man, and thorough.
If you are searching for a great dentist in Vancouver, go here.
