I received outstanding care from Dr. Sean Lin and his staff at Apex Endodontics. I underwent a root canal retreatment and Dr. Lin's skill and professionalism made the entire experience comfortable. I felt no pain from the local anesthesia through the completion of the procedure and he clearly explained each step along the way. The entire team provided exceptional care and service. I highly recommend Dr. Lin and Apex Endodontics. read more

My entire experience at Apex Endodontics was great! The front desk staff is friendly and the waiting area is clean and tidy. Minimal wait time for your scheduled appointment, which helps with the anxiety of having a procedure done. I had a root canal with surgical repair at the gum line, treated by Dr. Sean Lin. He did a great job and talked me through the whole procedure, consistently asking me if I was doing ok, describing the procedure as it was being done and what would happen next. His assistant was also very nice, informative and helpful. My root canal was virtually painless and he did a great job with the surgical repair of my gum line. A little inconvenient for about a week but otherwise stitches cane out a week later and everything healed nicely. I would highly recommend Apex Endodontics. Dr. Sean Lin checked all the boxes: professional, knowledgeable, courteous and reassuring approach, which helps ease any anxiety. Thank you! read more

I had to shout out Dr. Lin and his office for my overall experience with my root canal procedure. I was in pain prior to coming here and my dentist referred me to this office for a consultation. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to identify the issue with my tooth. The front desk staff were very accommodating in getting me an appointment for the procedure less than 48 hours later. As others have mentioned, root canals are never fun or an experience any one looks forward to but I appreciate the care and patience Dr. Lin and his assistants dedicated. He talked me through the entire procedure and was very accommodating to how I was feeling during the process. His assistants are also very friendly, use care when working with you and make sure you are comfortable. My pain was relieved and I am thankful for such a positive experience. read more

Apex Endodontics - Waiting for my root canal procedure and was offered a blanket. - Endodontists Near Me - Anaheim, California

My dentist recommended Dr. Sean Lin for the retreatment of an old root canal, and I'm so glad he did. Dr. Lin and his staff are professional, kind, and welcoming, and the office has a very calm atmosphere. He made me feel relaxed throughout the procedure, checked on me often, and made the whole experience as pleasant as a root canal can be. Highly recommend! read more

I too have issues with going to the dentist due to a very negative experience at a different dental office (gentle dental in Orange) and Dr Lin was amazing. I had a root canal and felt no pain and he explained every step so there was nothing unexpected. The office staff got me in for treatment the very next day when I told them about the pain I was in. They almost got me same day but I couldn't take that appointment and miss my doctor appointment. Dr Lin numbed my face once we agreed to the treatment (I asked him to) so I wasn't in pain while he finished up treatment on another patient. Highly recommend this office. read more

Best experience ever! I hate dental work and was stressing over a root canal but had the best experience...I did have to wait a while bc he Dr Linn was running behind schedule BUT he was worth the wait!! I had no pain, he talked me through everything he was doing, the staff was friendly and the place was clean!! It's unfortunate he can't be my primary dentist!! read more

Doctor was great and friendly, root canal portion went smooth with minor pain. Doctor kept checking on me the whole time and was thorough with my complicated tooth. That being said, I sat in the chair for 2 hours waiting for my root canal to start. All together I was at the office for 3 hours and feel like my day was wasted. I understand things happen, but I should have been given the option to reschedule when they realized how long they would take to get to me. read more

Dr. Lin and the entire Apex staff was excellent. No one really likes to get a root canal, but it was by far the best experience that I've had. The office staff and assistants are also exceptional Mike R read more

I was booked in for an exploratory and probable root canal. Root canal it was, and an infection that spread to the jaw. Dr Lin took on what was hopefully going to be a 1-1/2hr job, but morphed into 2hr one - my roots were calcified and required a lot more work to clear. He was gentle, patient and totally professional. He constantly checked if I was in discomfort whilst he worked. Root canals are never fun, but he made this a not terrible afternoon! Very highly recommended. read more

I was referred to Apex Endodontics for an infected root canal by my primary dentist and Dr. Lin was wonderful! I couldn't have felt any more comfortable, he kept me pain-free the whole time. Thank you Dr. Lin for taking the time to listen to my concerns and for explaining everything so clearly. I appreciate your calm and reassuring demeanor during my procedure. Also your staff was amazing! Very warm and friendly. Highly recommended, I feel so much better thanks to Dr Lin's expertise. Andrea Ramirez read more

I went there for a Root Canal (previously done somewhere else, years ago) that was infected. Even though, the Dr was unable to do it again because he found my root had cracked, every one in the office were very professional. I recommend this place. read more

I just got my first root canal done today by Dr. Sean Lin. Dr. Lin did a very good job on numbing and cleaning my tooth with no pain. I'm very happy that my dentist had referred me to go here for my root canal. read more

I had my 1st root canal procedure done yesterday and I am very happy about how the whole procedure went. Before I made my consultation and root canal appointment, the receptionist gave me a quote of how much my dental insurance covers and how much I would need to pay out of pocket. Dr. Sean Lin answered all my concerning questions and throughout the procedure would explain what he'll be doing next and how the procedure was going. I would highly recommend going to apex endodontics to get your root canal done. Thank you Dr. Sean Lin and the dental team for being so kind and helpful! read more

I have had 2 root canals prior to my last one. I was a bit nervous. This place is amazing. They put me at ease. The staff is so professional from the check in with Araceli, to the dental assistant Enrique. I had the pleasure of having my procedure done at the Anaheim location with Dr. Andrew Lin. There bed side manner is exceptional. If you have to get a root canal look no further than! You won't be sorry read more

I just had my root canal procedure yesterday and I could not have asked for better. The doctor and the staffs were very friendly and answered all of my questions. I was in so much pain for a few weeks and my anxiety level was through the roof due to not a having good experience at other dental offices. The doctor went through each step before he proceeded and let me know exactly what I should expect. He helped me to get my anxiety level down and went through the procedure very professionally and promptly. The assistant gentleman was also very friendly and professional. Thank you Apex dental for taking care if my ill tooth:) read more

I was referred to Apex as an alternative for an infected root canal and I decided to give them a try since they were able to see me the soonest and because they told me that they would not charge me for an oral evaluation. Maybe I should have taken a pause when they decided to push to remove the infection right there and then. It felt like a rush job and during the removal my porcelain tooth implant cracked (which anyone who has to buy one knows are extremely expensive and is difficult to match up with your teeth). Not only was the treatment painful and rough due to the rush, and having to end up paying a lot of money to create and install another implant, but apparently Apex decided to go to town on my insurance (nearly $2k). I paid for my portion up front but they had the audacity to get the remaining small balance ($29) that my insurance decline to reimburse ($174 oral evaluation that they said they would not bill me!). Be careful with these guys... I don't think you will receive quality treatment, they will milk your insurance, and chase after you for the difference when insurance rejects them to maximize their profits. read more

First time seeing Dr. Lin (referred by my dentist), I have a lot of anxiety when it comes to needles and dental work. Dr. Lin was so incredibly patient, constantly made sure I was comfortable and okay, even walked me through breathing exercises. I'm so grateful for his patience and kindness. The staff was great too! read more

I recently had to have my first root canal and was referred by my Dentist to Dr Andrew Lin at Apex Endodontics. I was a little anxious about having a root canal but Dr Lin and his entire staff were magnificent! They answered all of my questions with empathy and patience. When Dr Lin explained what needed to be done and after answering my questions it ended up that I actually had a couple of choices of how we proceeded. I asked one or two more questions and went forward with the root canal. I'm not going to lie, it's not pleasant it's a root canal but I was in the chair almost 90 minutes and I'm not kidding when I say that the last 20 minutes or so after the major grinding and work was done, I was so relaxed I could of fallen asleep. And no relaxing meds were taken. Root canals are what Apex Endodontics does and they are very good at it. If I ever need another one, no muss, no fuss, they will do it. read more

Apex Endodontic is amazing. DR. Lin is so caring and has a great chair side manner. He was so patient with me in understanding my fear of dental procedures. He talked me thru the whole procedure. His staff is so professional and friendly. I had a root canal and was kept pain-free and comfortable for the whole procedure. I recommend this office for any endodontic procedure, and i will definitely go back to this office in the future if needed. THANK YOU, DR. LIN AND STAFF read more

Dr. Lin was an amazing doctor who went above and beyond during my root canal. He was very patient and gentle to ensure my comfort throughout the procedure. read more

I have dentalphobia, so I get so nervous at any dental office. I get so nervous that anesthetic doesn't work on me. Today, I came in to Apex Endodontics for a root canal treatment doctor. It was the best experience I've ever had at a dental office I felt absolutely nothing!!! Thank you doctor and staff...I recommend this office 1000% read more

I was referred to Apex by my general dentist back in 2018 for a retreat of an old root canal. Everything seemed to be done correctly until the pain resurfaced in the same area just shy of a year post-procedure. My general dentist referred me back to Apex to have this looked at again. Dr. Lin said that tooth looked to be healing properly and began looking at other teeth in the area that could be the cause of the current pain. After checking several teeth with endo ice, it was his determination that the pain must be coming from a tooth two teeth over. As a patient, I trusted this opinion and allowed him to treat a NEW tooth for a root canal. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks went by and there was no improvement in pain. I decided to get a 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinion from endodontists and it was revealed to me that there was still massive infection in the tooth that was retreated in 2018. After much discussion and looking at images from before and after Dr. Lin did the procedure, I was left with the option of apicoectomy or a 3rd retreat. I was reluctant to retreat again but felt very confident with the several specialists' opinion that they could save this tooth. Once the procedure began, it was revealed that there was still a cotton pellet in the tooth; therefore, if I had gone with the apicoectomy instead of the retreat it would have not even been discovered. Both my general dentist and Dr. Lin refuse to take responsibility for that being left in the tooth and becoming a breeding ground for bacteria. I reached out to Apex Endodontics to explain the situation, ask for answers and come up with a resolution. Dr. Lin stands behind his decision to not further investigate the tooth I came in to see him for. I mentioned to the office manager that I felt inclined to leave an honest review regarding this lack of thoroughness and integrity from this office and was laughed at. I hope to help spread the word that Apex Endodontics did not properly care for me as a patient and this unfortunate situation has cost me a LOT of money out of pocket and continued pain. read more

Let me start by saying I am a very nervous patient. I was referred to this office for 2 root canals. They were able to fit me in within a couple of weeks (my insurance was expiring at the end of the month so I needed to get them fixed ASAP). Dr. Lin was AWESOME! He has a wonderful calming demeanor and explains everything in away that I could understand. After reviewing my X-Rays, he determined that I only needed to have 1 root canal that ended up saving me money. The whole process took about an hour from time I walked in to when I walked out. The staff there is just as wonderful! Very nice and supportive! Office was clean and modern deco. read more

I've had large fillings in each of my molars since 99'. Decided that now that I'm older, I plan on getting these fillings have taken care of since they do have a lot of miles on them. My first crown went fine, the healing process took longer than usual because the tooth was so sensitive from all the work it needed. It took about 6+ months for me to get my crown. My second crown, I wasn't so lucky. My dentist waited as long as he could and my tooth was still sore/sensitive, I hadn't eaten food on the left side of my mouth for 3+ months, and my gum was super irritated. It just left me super unhappy and extremely nervous about the next steps I would have to take. I was recommended to Apex for my first root canal. I've heard horror stories about this procedure and I couldn't help but google and youtube everything I could to know what to expect. (Don't believe everything you hear!) I was SO nervous to the point where my palms were sweating and my heart was racing just sitting there waiting for the numbing to begin. Not only did Dr.Lin talk me thru EVERY step, he was so gentle with everything he did. I am SO happy with my experience. I felt like the time flew by and I couldn't believe it. Dr.Lin and his assistant were both so kind to me. The reviews about this office are true, this is definitely the place to go to get work done. I felt little to NO pain, and i'm still in my healing process but my gums feel 100x better than they did before. THANK YOU DR.LIN, if I could give you more stars I would. read more

Dr. Lin is amazing! I've seen him twice for two different root canals. And was very detailed explained the procedure , gentle and professional. I felt very comfortable with him, and I've had no problem with both my teeth. I highly recommend him. very nice doctor. read more

WOW ! Dr. Lin is amazing. I have never had an experience like this at the dentist. I came in in so much pain and was miserable needing a root canal. He talked me through everything , thoroughly explaining the procedure. Talked me through my breathing while numbing me, and checked in that I wasn't in pain consistently. This dentist is on another level. I honestly almost fell asleep during my procedure I was so relaxed. He takes x rays to make sure his work is all perfect before he lets you go. THOROUGH, COMPASSIONATE. His staff works tirelessly to make sure your insurance works with them. I left so happy. This is the best dentist you'll ever find. read more

I am the Duke of a place that yanks out the inside of a tooth. Oh joy. You would think I have no teeth left. Though I sit here in some discomfort resulting from the fruits of my duke-like activities at Apex Endo, I am truly thankful to Dr. Lin and his helpful, cheerful staff. I don't know where outstanding doctors come from, but whichever one sent Dr. Lin, may their tribe increase. read more

I double-checked 3 times with Apex's staff that my insurance worked before I did treatment. However, they said yes and after 3 months, they sent a bill almost double the price of what I was informed. Be careful with this dishonest dental. read more

The worst service ever. Sat there for over an hour before they even numbed my daughter. They drilled out the whole tooth and it's been less than 24 hours and my daughters tooth is cracked. I have had several root canals and NEVER IN HISTORY HAS THIS EVER HAPPENED. I was told specialists don't put temporaries over the tooth. I was also told this is excessive for a root canal. Stay cautious people... LESS THAN 24 HOURS. read more

Dr Lin is fantastic! He is very calming and has a terrific, informative manner. He explained everything, continually checked in to make sure I was ok and did a great root canal. The office is clean and attractive and the staff is kind and supportive. I hope I never have to go back, but if I do need an endodontist, I know where I will go! read more

I made a previous review about Dr. Sean Lin. This review is about Dr. Andrew Lin. So I came in for a consult on 2 teeth and unfortunately one tooth already had a RCT and retreatment done, so the best course of action for that tooth is to extract it :(. The other tooth, although it looked calcified, was able to be saved! Yay! My previous dentist (I don't go to him anymore) started RCT and failed at following through with it. The anesthetic didn't help as he got deeper in my tooth. However, as I was seen by Dr. Andrew Lin, there was no pain at all. Which is what I was scared of... But no, the anesthetic didn't wear off until 5 to 6 hours later! This was also another pleasant experience. Dr Andrew Lin also has very good bedside manners. Both doctors at this practice uphold excellence in patient satisfaction and comfort. I have no complaints about my visit here. Haha the only thing I hated was the brain rattling drill, but nothing can really remedy that. Also, they have a new location. It's right near the packing house, and it's really nice inside. Seems like an upgrade to me! No more slow elevators haha. Hopefully I don't have to come here again, but if I need another root canal treatment, I will be coming back here. Highly recommended 12/10 would mess up my teeth to come again. (lol) read more

I was referred by my dentist for a root canal with Dr. Sean Lin. I was a little hesitant at first because of the distance (Fountain Valley to Anaheim), but I finally called for a consultation anyway. The office was clean, and the receptionist was very kind, knowledgeable and helpful. I met with Dr. Lin, and he was so nice and made me feel at ease. I told him about my situation and then he explained to me what needed to be done with my tooth without making me feel bad. Unfortunately I couldn't do the operation on that same day because of my daycare situation but I was able to schedule an appointment the next day. On the day of the operation, I didn't feel any pain at all. I was comfortable and relaxed. Throughout the whole process Dr. Lin would occasionally ask if I was doing okay. It made me felt like I was taken care off and not just a number. My experience with Apex Endodontics was an awesome one from start to finish. Thank you so much Dr. Lin and staff for taking good care of me! read more

Dr Lin is great dentist. I've been here a few times for a root canal. The office is very professional and has a claiming feel. His staff reflects Dr Lin's professionalism. If you need a root canal, this is the place to go read more

I don't have much to share that has not been already expressed by the other reviewers. As noted by others, Doctor Lin is a specialist, and like the others, I was sent here by my regular dentist for a root canal. The experience was as pleasant as a root canal could be. I agree, his chair side manners could not be better. He does not just warn of possible pain (there was not much of that), but explains what he is doing while he is working on you. His second floor office does face a small park, adding to the pleasant experience. I did drop in to his office a week after the procedure to ask a question. He was not able to help further, but the dentist and the front desk were pleasant. I saw one other specialist soon after seeing Doctor Lim, and he said that the root canal was well done. Also, at my regular dentist's office, assistants did have praise for his work. read more

My dentist referred me to Apex and Dr. Lin - and I am so grateful!! I needed an emergency root canal, and Dr Lin, along with his team, were absolutely fantastic. They attended to me the same day - within hours of my referral. Great communication, excellent explanations, and tremendous care was demonstrated throughout my treatment. It was probably the most pleasant dental experience I have ever had! I suppose if you have to undergo something like a root canal, you really must consider Apex and Dr. Lin. read more

Apex receives a 5 star. Dr. Lin and his staff are very caring and every step is explained along the way. There was no pressure on my initial consultation to have the work done. I had my root canal work done with no pain (not even the shot itself) nor any pain after completion. The staff is caring and the office followed up the next day to make sure I was not having any problems. If you need to have a root canal, I highly recommend Apex Alexis J read more

Hello to whomever may be reading this! I suffer from anxiety and panic disorder and Dr. Lin made sure everything was okay during my root canal procedure.
