Why Burlingame Patients Choose Dr. Kung
Whether you're coming from downtown Burlingame Avenue, Mills-Peninsula Medical Center, or one of the SFO-adjacent corporate campuses, our Sunnyvale office is a straight shot down 101. Dr. Kung's practice is dedicated entirely to endodontics, with the Zeiss OPMI surgical microscope and 3D CBCT imaging on every complex case.
Microscope-Guided Precision
Every procedure performed under the Zeiss OPMI operating microscope — the standard of care for specialist endodontics.
Same-Day Emergency Care
Tooth pain can't wait. We hold appointments for urgent cases every day, including weekends.
Your Dentist Stays Informed
A detailed clinical report goes to your referring dentist after every visit — you're in good hands, and so is your care team.
Serving the Burlingame community
Burlingame patients typically come to us when their general dentist refers a case that benefits from a specialist's microscope and CBCT — heavily calcified canals, retreatments of failing root canals, apicoectomy / endodontic microsurgery, or cracked-tooth diagnostic questions where a 3D image changes the treatment plan. We work with referring dentists across Burlingame, Hillsborough, and Millbrae.
