Ocean Endodontics, serving the Sunset District

The Sunset stretches from Golden Gate Park south to Sloat Boulevard, block after block of homes between Twin Peaks and Ocean Beach. Ocean Endodontics sits just past its southern edge, on Ocean Avenue off 19th Avenue, so for Sunset families a specialist is close to home rather than across town.

Sunset patients come to us for the full range of endodontic care: root canal therapy, retreatment of an older root canal, cracked tooth treatment, and prompt care for dental injuries. Every endodontic procedure is performed under an operating microscope, with cone beam 3D imaging when clinically appropriate. If pain comes on suddenly, call early and we will do our best to see you the same day.

Getting here is simple. The 28 19th Avenue bus runs the length of 19th Avenue with stops near our building, and the L Taraval connects to the K Ingleside at West Portal. If you drive, 19th Avenue brings you straight to Ocean Avenue, and there is a free parking lot through the building breezeway.

  • Rated 5 out of 5

    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 experiencing puffy gums and we talked about my prescriptions, and she explained the connection! I was comfortable during my first visit. Today, Dr. Leong walked me through every step of my root canal as she was doing it. She told me what I would be feeling/hearing next, and exactly where in the process she was. Honestly, probably one of the easiest dental procedures I've had done. I will definitely be going back to Dr Leong again if I ever need another root canal. 10/10 recommend. Thank you sweet Dr. Leong!!

    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 took multiple X-rays during the surgery to ensure that she continued to target the exact locations in the affected tooth. Dr. Leong 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.

    I had a cracked tooth that needed quick attention due to the pain I was in. Dr. Leong saw me the same day and fixed it beautifully. She and her staff were friendly, efficient, and handled the pain management perfectly. I couldn't be happier with the results.
