Phenomenal care and professionalism. I had a quite a bit of dental phobia which prevented me from seeing a dentist for a very long time (fortunately, only one cavity!). When the dreaded tooth pain happened, I knew it would result in a root canal and I was very worried to even show up for my appointment with Dr. Alibhai. I shared my concerns and I must say, Dr. Alibhai listened to them *very* patiently. Never ever did I feel as if he had something more important to do than to pay attention to my needs. His demeanor was that of compassion, warm smiles and genuine interest in helping me overcome my fears and get me treated. I went in prepared to take the sedation pill, however, Dr. Alibhai talked me out of it (thank you for that and not overmedicating!!) and suggested I try nitrous only. He got to the root of my fear of oral needles and challenged me to tell him when I think the needle was even in my mouth. He performed the delivery of anesthetic with such precision and astute use of distraction techniques, that I genuinely never felt the needle or any pressure at all. ZERO. I am not kidding. It was Zero. In fact, my hygienist is pretty good too, but no way near as smooth and effortless as Dr. Alibhai. I wish I could have Dr. Alibhai give me all the shots needed :-) Once numb, he put me at ease and completed the root canal. I almost fell asleep and felt nothing at all. No pain, no discomfort. Postoperative pain (rather a discomfort) was minimal and I was back to eating in a matter of hours. Would highly recommend Dr. Alibhai, especially if you are afraid of dental work. read more

Outstanding patient care. I was extremely anxious & uncomfortable- Dr Beppu offered options and put me at ease. The procedure was efficient and the follow up was Exceptional. If I need emergency/specialist dental care, I will absolutely go back to this practice. read more

Dr. Alibhai is a highly skilled and experienced professional. I would add to the many 5-star reviews for him and his staff. I called with an emergent tooth issue on a Friday morning before a holiday. Despite the fact that it was supposed to be a short day for the office, I was given an appointment that same afternoon. [Keep in mind that it would have been easy to put me off (no room on a full schedule, only open a half-day, etc.) until Monday.] The pain I was having was pretty acute and pressure-sensitive. Dr. Alibhai quickly assessed my problem with care -- dead nerve in the tooth and infection causing the inflammation and pain. He also displays a very humble attitude and compassionate "chair-side" manner. He is really a very nice fellow aside from being a highly skilled specialist. Dr. Alibhai treated me that same afternoon quickly, efficiently, and with great skill. The office is equipped with all the most modern tools to specifically handle root canal therapy with little or no discomfort. I was in the office for a couple hours because he was treating others but the procedure was flawless and the resulting relief immediate. Dr. Alibhai and his staff were so thoughtful and took the time to answer my questions. They also stayed late on that Friday to make sure all patients were properly treated. If you are reading this I suspect you are having tooth pain and trying to select a dental professional you can trust. In my view, Dr. Alibhai is your guy. I offer my absolute recommendation for Dr. Alibhai and his practice. I can't say root-canal therapy is something anyone looks forward to but when you need it, Advanced Endodontics and Dr. Alibhai is the place to go. (Ray K using an alternate email address) read more

Dr. Alibhai is the best dentist. I had my root canal done here and my experience overall was wonderful. Amazing staff and excellent treatment. Dr. Alibhai explains everything to us and makes us feel very comfortable. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DOCTOR. read more

My root canal procedure recently was painless and fast. I'm still amazed!! Dr. Alibhai and his team were kind, professional and very efficient. The facility is excellent and relaxing. They followed up with me later in the day to make sure I was doing well. I'm very impressed by this surprising experience and have been telling my family and friends about it. I highly recommend Advanced Endodontics - they are top notch. read more

Amazing patient care! If you have the unfortunate circumstance of needing a root canal, definitely request Dr. Kenji Beppu. I was really nervous and he made everything easy to understand and was so quick! Hopefully I never need another, but if I do then I will come here again! read more

What a good group of people who work here... They are kind, compassionate and really work hard to make you feel comfortable. Dr Karim was outstanding. He has a kind demeanor, He was thorough in his examination and impressed me with his diagnostic abilities. I have had a lot of work done in my mouth, but none so painless as this. I recommend Dr Alibhai emphatically! read more

Advanced Endodontics and Dr. Lim, in particular, were great. The kind of guy you would just like to hang out with. It was my first ever root canal and I was not looking forward to it. The experience was virtually pain free. Dr. Lim was was chatty and walked me through each of the steps. He explained things in a way that made everything easy to understand. His assistants and the front office people were all very professional and kind. It was an emergency and they worked me right in. The whole process was extremely smooth. While I hope I don't have to have another root canal soon I will be going back to Dr. Lim if I do. read more

I've had a tooth bothering me for a couple weeks, and my dentist referred me to this office. I was cheerfully and efficiently scheduled, checked in and assessed by Dr Lin and his staff. Dr. Lin walked me through my options in a clear and professional manner. I decided on a root canal, and Dr. Lin and his assistant did a fantastic job. He's thorough, detailed, and did a really good job keeping me informed about his progress. Highly recommend this office! read more

I was referred here by my dentist at Bella Dental down the street. Expecting to have a wonderful experience, I arrived there and was told that a root canal was $1,600 per tooth instead of the $1,400 I was quoted. Also, the receptionist was extremely rude, and did not manage several people well. I ended up canceling my appointment and leaving. I got home and decided to shop around for prices (since $1,600/tooth seemed insane), and luckily found Dr. Cohen at West Seattle Endodontics. The price for a root canal was $1,055 per tooth, and the entire experience was fantastic! So happy I went with my gut feeling, and left Advanced Endodontics.... read more

The root canal failed, and it was the worst customer service experience ever.

I was visiting my dentist over summer break, and he discovered that I needed a root canal that was somewhat complex, so he referred me to Dr. Beppu. Dr. Beppu is one of the most competent, kind, and caring professionals I have met. He not only performed my root canal flawlessly, but he also followed up personally with a phone call to make sure that I was doing OK after the procedure. Dr. Beppu and his team truly care about their patients, and I feel blessed to have been referred to such an amazing endodontist! If you ever need a root canal or any other type of endodontic treatment, I would highly recommend Dr. Beppu. read more

With a supremely sensitive tooth and just 2 days to spare before an overseas trip, I called Advanced Endodontics in quite a panic! I expected them to require a referral or not have appointments for at least a month (as with most other places) and was pleasantly surprised to find that they could see me the very next day. I consulted with Dr.Alibhai who quickly diagnosed one of my teeth as needing a root canal. What I liked about his consultation is that he didn't immediately order scans of my entire mouth but figured out which tooth needed attention by dabbing the teeth with cold water. He then ordered a scan of just the affected tooth to see how bad it was. When I mentioned that I needed to travel in two days, he was quick to reassure me that if I was up for it, he could perform the root canal immediately. However, he was also careful not to pressure me at all and told me to take my time to decide. I was in a lot of pain so I decided to do it immediately. During the procedure, Dr.Alibhai and the nurse assisting him kept me informed of what they were doing. The entire procedure took less than an hour with very little discomfort to me - I was surprised by this! Both of them had very calm and reassuring manners, which added to my comfort. Dr.Alibhai also made a follow up phone call that night, to make sure I was in no pain before the trip - I really appreciated that! I would highly recommend Advanced Endodontics for root canal work! read more

Had some "delightful" tooth pain on Sunday, so my dentist referred me first thing Monday morning to A.E. They got me in at noon for a root canal and were wonderful. Explained to me the procedure, got me numbed up, and were totally professional and friendly throughout the operation. Dr. Kenji called me that night to check on how I was doing, and three days later I got a lovely letter thanking me for choosing their office for the procedure. I don't really anticipate having any more dental emergencies, nor do I look forward to them, but if a similar situation arises again I will be picking A.E. for the procedure with or without my dentist's referral. read more

I had a toothache for about three months and had been putting off a visit to my dentist because of the holidays, etc. When I finally couldn't take it anymore, I saw my regular dentist who told me that I needed a root canal right away. Advanced Endodontics saw me that very morning. The endodontist was very professional and calming, and put me right at ease. The entire experience was painless!!! He said that I may experience pain over the next few days as the tooth heals, but nope!! It was instantly better. I highly recommend Advanced Endodontics. I would definitely see them again, although I hope I never have to! read more

I developed bad tooth pain on Weds., saw my regular dentist on Thursday, and had a referral to see Dr. Alibhai on Friday morning for a root canal. He and his assistant were so personable and put me at ease by explaining what would happen. (I'd always heard horrible things about root canals!) I had some novocaine and did not feel anything during the procedure. I even got a call the next morning from Dr. Alibhai to check on me. I'm doing great and am so grateful to be done with that awful pain. read more

Dr. Kenji G Beppu and staff are so accommodating that both times that I needed to be seen by them, they were able to see and treat me right away. I highly recommend their office. Everyone is warm and friendly and they really care about their patients. Thank you all so much. read more

I like the previous reviewer was very impressed with Dr. Alibhai and his team. Clear explanation of treatment options, treated like I was important to his practice, courteous staff. Expensive - haven't seen an Endodontist that came cheap. I would totally recommend this doctor. My regular dentist of 30+ years recommended Dr. Alibhai and I am glad he did. read more

I went in to see Dr. Alibahi for a root canal infection and was treated with apicoectomy surgery. In addition, I was dealing with other physical ailments putting me on antibiotics. He did his due diligence to ensure that he would still be able to continue with the procedure and ensure that I am safe with a weakened immune system. I was definitely a complex case. I must say it was the best experience that one could have for a dental visit. I get very anxious and hate any type or surgery especially dental work. He and his team did a great job of keeping me at ease and the procedure was over in a heartbeat. I can't say enough great things about him and his team! He even gave me a follow up call to ensure I was doing well, what a pleasant surprise and great customer service! Thank you Dr. Alibahi! read more

I don't know why you would go anywhere else for root canals. Dr. Alibhai is the best. I am so glad to have found him and will never change. I've had 2 re-treatments done at his office and he is a master of his field. I cannot say enough good things about him. read more

As an internationally recognized Endodontist, Dental School Professor, and Diplomate of the American Board of Endodontics, Dr. Karim Alibhai is a top professional in his field. I have been referred to Dr. Alibhai for three distinct severe dental emergencies, and in each case I received the ultimate in expedited scheduling, diagnosis, problem identification, expert treatment, follow-up, and prompt and complete recovery. Dr. Alibhai is the very best in problem identification and treatment. read more

I had an unbelieveable experience. When you want first class service, painless procedures, then this is where to go...yes, this is a root canal that I am talking about!! I wish they did regular dentistry as well - I would go and see Dr. Alibhai in a second! No wonder when I called around, almost every dentist office I checkd with recommended them! Keep it up :-) read more

Let me just say that I have never had as pleasant of an experience having a root canal treated. The procedure was completely painless and actually took less than 1 hour! From the friendly front staff to the tech savvy and peaceful clinic to the gentle Dr. I will definitely ask my dentist to refer me to Advanced Endodontics the next time I need a root canal done! Bravo read more

I had severe pain in my both ears. Dr Alibhai advised me root canals on three grinders. I got one done, but decided to wait for other two. He advised the root canals even without taking X-ray of the tooth. In the meanwhile I went to another dentist and he diagnosed that I have a TMJ issue due to which I have ear pain and my teeth are all alright and no root canals are needed. Per my other dentist teeth can be sensitive, but does not necessarily mean to have a root canal unless infection has reached to the nerve, which can only be seen in the X-ray. Dr. Alibhai was so keen to get my root canal, that he was ready to give me next day morning appointment for root canal. I would never return to him now for any dental work. read more

Awesome... For a root canal. Fast, thorough, friendly and reasonably priced. I would absolutely recommend the team at Advanced Endodontics!

I had an amazing experience at Advanced Endodontics. I called in on Monday evening with minor tooth ache (thanks to a DQ ice cream :P) and they were able to accommodate me at lunch time on Tuesday. Dr. Alibhai was very courteous and knowledgeable and was able to pinpoint the problem quickly. I went thinking they will reschedule me for a later day to do the root canal since I wasn't hurting too bad, but to my surprise, the procedure was completed before I left the office that day, without much pain. Dr. Alibhai followed up the next day to see how I was doing, which I felt was a sign of great service. I would recommend Dr. Alibhai to anybody who is looking for a doctor with great experience and one who cares about the patients. read more

I can't say enough about my experience at Advanced Endodontics. Dr. Kenji Beppu was amazing. I was in a lot of pain when I went to the office, and he was very quick to diagnose the issue, while doing his best to keep me comfortable. Once we identified the problem, he was ready to perform the root canal procedure. I felt very little to no pain at all. He had a gentle yet very professional chair-side manner. He told me what he was doing every step of the way, no surprises. He then followed up that evening with a phone call to my cell phone to ask how I was doing. That was followed by a hand written thank you note 2 days later, thanking me for choosing them for my procedure. I was so impressed! I will be going there for all future endodontic procedures, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Dr. Beppu! read more

No one likes going to the dentist but Advanced Endodontics made the experience of getting a root canal a lot less stressful. Thanks to all of the staff and doctors at Advanced Endodontics for helping me feel better. Al J. read more

My entire experience at Advanced Endodontis was great. Dr. Beppu was very professional and let me know what he was doing every step of the way. I even got a personal phone call from him at 7:15 the night of my root canal. I am writing this the day after my procedure but so far so good. I would recommend as long as everything continues to heal and the bill is as expected. Dr. Beppu is very personable and seems to really care about his clients and their well being. read more

I was referred to Dr. Karim Alibhai office by my primary dental doctor after x-ray shows possible infection under my tooth with root canal. It was end of year and they were very accommodating regarding procedure planning to minimize my out of pocket cost (as I have no problem at time). Procedure was consistent with expectation and I have no paint after it. However only time shows how well it was done (previous doctor missed one canal 8+ years ago). But compared to other dentist offices I get care in last 20 years I feel like Dr. Karim Alibhai office tries to charge as much money as possible. First, they apparently charge 20 USD patient assessment on each visit. This isn't covered by my insurance as it is not considered to be necessary. I can somehow understand that on first visit, maybe... I don't see it as reasonable at all on second visit when they did root canal. In addition, they charge Occlusal Adjustment - which I am sure didn't happen (doctor simple put temporary filling on and he even didn't ask if it collide with upper tooth). When I call their office, they promise to call me back. It didn't happen. read more
