Specialist Endodontist
Near Newark
Newark patients can reach our Sunnyvale specialist endodontic office in just 14 minutes via CA-237 — with same-day emergency slots, extended evening hours, and weekend appointments available every week.
Why Newark Patients Choose Dr. Kung
From Newark's Willow Street corridor or the NewPark Mall area, our Hollenbeck Avenue office is a fast, direct drive along CA-237 W. Dr. Kung uses the Zeiss OPMI surgical microscope for every procedure and the J. Morita Veraview X800 CBCT in Endo Mode (the small-volume, high-resolution protocol the AAE/AAOMR Joint Position Statement on CBCT in Endodontics recommends) for complex cases — specialist tools that make a measurable difference in outcomes.
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.
