One office, centrally located in Sunnyvale. Approximate drive times from across the South Bay and Peninsula — tap your city for local directions:
An endodontist completes 2–3 years of university residency beyond dental school and limits their practice entirely to root canals, retreatment, and microsurgery. Dr. Kung trained at UCLA (DDS) and OHSU (MS in Endodontics). Proximity matters — but a specialist 15 minutes away will often save a tooth a general dentist down the street can't.
Modern endodontics is performed under a surgical operating microscope at up to 25× magnification — essential for finding hidden canals and treating molars predictably. Ask any 'endodontist near me' result whether they treat every case under the microscope. We do.
The closest office isn't helpful if you can't be seen for two weeks. We hold same-day emergency slots every day — including Saturday and Sunday, 9 AM to 3 PM — which most Bay Area endodontic offices don't offer.
Start by confirming the office is a dedicated endodontic practice (not a general dentist who occasionally does root canals), then look at drive time. A 10–20 minute drive to a specialist is the norm in the South Bay — there are far fewer endodontists than general dentists.
Call and ask directly: 'If I'm in pain, can I be seen today?' Our answer is yes, including weekends. Tooth pain doesn't wait for an appointment slot two weeks out.
Under California PPO rules you do not need a referral to see an endodontist. You can book directly. We coordinate with your general dentist afterward for the final crown.

Most South Bay and Peninsula patients reach us in 10–25 minutes. Call (669) 234-2354 and we'll help you plan the drive.
Yes. We hold same-day emergency appointments every day, including Saturday and Sunday from 9 AM to 3 PM. If you're in significant pain or have swelling, call (669) 234-2354 and we'll do our best to see you the same day.
No. Under California PPO rules you can book a specialist endodontist directly without a referral from your general dentist. We see patients directly and send the treatment summary back to your dentist afterward so they can place the final crown.
Both matter, but qualification matters more. There are far fewer endodontists than general dentists, so a short drive to a true specialist who limits their practice to endodontics and treats every case under an operating microscope is usually the better choice than the nearest general dentist doing an occasional root canal.
We accept most major PPO dental plans and bill as an out-of-network specialist; most PPO plans reimburse 50–80% of specialist endodontic treatment. Give us your insurance details when you call and we'll verify your benefits before the appointment.
