Specialist Endodontist
Near Gilroy
Gilroy patients needing specialist endodontic care are just 32 minutes north on US-101 from Dr. Jason Kung's Sunnyvale office — providing access to operating-microscope precision, CBCT 3D imaging, and same-day emergency slots.
Why Gilroy Patients Choose Dr. Kung
From Gilroy's downtown or Outlet Premium Center, US-101 N offers a direct commute to our Hollenbeck Avenue office. Garlic Capital residents benefit from Dr. Kung's specialist training — a two-year graduate residency and MS in Endodontics that qualifies him to handle complex root canal cases and microsurgical procedures well beyond general dentistry.
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 Gilroy community
Gilroy is about a 40-minute drive north on 101. Gilroy patients sometimes drive up because the South Bay has a denser concentration of specialist endodontic practices, and they want a microscope-equipped, single-specialty office for a tooth they're committed to saving. We work with general dentists along Monterey Road who refer cases for retreatment and microsurgery.
