Our tools

Built for precision

  • Operating microscope

    Used for every endodontic procedure to reveal the fine internal anatomy of a tooth, so treatment is precise and thorough.

  • Cone beam 3D imaging (CBCT)

    Used when clinically appropriate, providing three-dimensional information about complex anatomy, areas of infection and bone changes, resorption, and suspected fractures that may not be apparent on conventional imaging.

  • Low-radiation digital X-rays

    Instant, high-resolution images with a fraction of the radiation of older film, shared with you on screen.

  • Modern irrigation & obturation

    Advanced disinfection and sealing systems help clean the canal system thoroughly and seal it for a lasting result.

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 endodontic procedure and cone beam 3D imaging when appropriate. This combination supports precise diagnosis and treatment of complex endodontic problems.
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.
Where should I park?
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.
