About us
A specialty practice built around your comfort
Ocean Endodontics is the San Francisco practice of board-certified endodontist Dr. Kelly Kimiko Leong, focused entirely on relieving pain and saving natural teeth.
What is an endodontist?
Specialists in saving teeth
An endodontist is a dental specialist who diagnoses tooth pain and treats the delicate tissue inside your teeth. Where a general dentist handles a broad range of care, an endodontist concentrates on procedures like root canal therapy, retreatment, and microsurgery, using magnification and imaging that make complex cases predictable.
That focus is why so much of our work comes from dentists referring their patients to us, and why we can often save teeth that might otherwise be lost.

I just got back from having a root canal with Dr. Leong. I swear she is the best dentist. Her bedside manner is amazing. Super friendly and extremely knowledgeable in her field. I was comfortable during my first visit. Dr. Leong walked me through every step of my root canal as she was doing it. She told me what I would be feeling and hearing next, and exactly where in the process she was. Honestly, probably one of the easiest dental procedures I've had done. 10/10 recommend.
Verified patient Root Canal Therapy · San Francisco, CA -
Dr. Kelly Kimiko Leong is a superb endodontist. On a few hours’ notice, she performed an emergency root canal procedure. It was virtually painless because Dr. Leong took the time to completely anesthetize the affected area, including the effective application of a topical anesthetic so the injections were barely noticeable. Each part of the procedure was carefully explained. She is a perfectionist and continuously checked her work to make sure it met her high standards. Feeling great the following day. The best dental care I have ever received.

The office is calm, spotless, and modern, and the whole team is warm and organized. Everything was explained clearly before it happened, my insurance was checked in advance, and there were no surprises. I came in anxious and left relieved. I would not go anywhere else for endodontic care.
