Frequently asked questions

What is an endodontist?

An endodontist is a dental specialist who focuses on diagnosing tooth pain and performing root canal therapy and related procedures to save natural teeth. Endodontists complete two or more years of advanced training after dental school and use technology such as operating microscopes and 3D imaging to treat the inside of the tooth with precision. Learn more about our specialty practice.

What makes Ocean Endodontics different from a general dentist?

As an endodontic specialty practice, we use an operating microscope for every procedure and cone beam 3D imaging when appropriate. This level of magnification and imaging supports precise, comfortable treatment and is not typically available in a general dental office.

Can I be seen quickly if I am in pain?

Yes. We reserve time each day for urgent visits and do our best to see patients in significant pain the same day whenever possible. Call our office at (415) 741-3636 as early as you can so we can prioritize your care.

Do endodontists only do root canals?

Root canal therapy is the most common treatment, but endodontists also perform retreatment of previous root canals, microsurgery called apicoectomy, cracked tooth management, and emergency care for dental trauma. This specialty training allows us to handle complex cases and preserve natural teeth whenever possible. Browse our full list of endodontic services.

How do I know if I should see an endodontist?

If you have severe or lingering tooth pain, sensitivity to hot or cold that does not go away, swelling, or you have been told you may need a root canal, an endodontist can help. Many patients are referred by their general dentist, but you are welcome to contact us directly. Our guide to the signs you may need an endodontist covers the most common symptoms.

Is there parking?

Yes. There is a free parking lot located through the building breezeway, plus metered and free street parking nearby. The office is also well connected by Muni and public transit.

Where is Ocean Endodontics located?

Our office is at 2645 Ocean Ave, Suite 203, San Francisco, CA 94132, near City College of San Francisco and Lake Merced. We serve nearby neighborhoods including Ingleside, West Portal, Parkmerced, St. Francis Wood, Balboa Terrace, and Daly City.

Will my treatment be painful?

Modern endodontic care is designed to relieve pain, not cause it. We take time to fully numb the area, and many patients tell us the procedure felt easier than they expected. Nitrous oxide and, for appropriate patients, oral conscious sedation are available to help you stay comfortable and relaxed.
