Specialist Endodontist
Near Redwood City
Redwood City patients seeking specialist endodontic care choose Dr. Jason Kung at our Sunnyvale practice — a quick drive down US-101 South. Precision microscope-guided root canal treatment, same-day emergency appointments, and extended hours that work around a Peninsula commute schedule.
Why Redwood City Patients Choose Dr. Kung
Our Sunnyvale office is a straightforward US-101 South drive from Redwood City — typically 22 minutes without Peninsula traffic. Dr. Kung's exclusive specialist training in endodontics (UCLA DDS, OHSU MS) and his microscope-guided approach means Redwood City patients get a noticeably different level of care than a root canal done in a general dental office.
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.
