I have had several root canals over my lifetime, some ok, some not so great experiences. I was refered to Bayside Endodontics by by dentist as I had broken a tooth. I was a bit nervous, but my fears were quickly put aside after a few minutes with Dr. Ahani. He was very kind and personable, and put me at ease. He thoroughly explained what he was going to do and how to alert him if I was feeling any discomfort. His assistent Noreen was really nice too, and they seriously worked together like a well oiled machine! I was done in less than 90 minutes. Dr Ahani even called me that evening to make sure I was doing well. I hope I don't have need in the future for his services, but if I do, I will be able to go without any anxiety-that is really a blessing! So, if you need an endodontist, I highly recommend Dr Ahani and Bayside Endodonitics! Oh, and the view into the building courtyard with trees and a waterfall from the exam chair is amazing and very calming! read more

Dr. Fong and Dr. Ahani provide excellent care and are warm and friendly. The office staff and dental assistants are very caring and it's clear that everyone in the office works as a team. No one wants to have a root canal done. However, this is the office to choose if you need one. read more

I write this extensive thorough review in the hopes that it gives any readers information & experiences that I was looking for when I was searching for an endodontic practice with particular, specific aspects... Dr. Ahani and Bayside Endodontics looks so very promising! Some background: I needed 3 root canals (2 molar, 1 bicuspid). Because of the extensive context of the situation, I looked through 75 endodontic practices' Yelp reviews around the whole Bay Area (from Walnut Creek to Palo Alto), highlighting those mentioning more than just local anesthetic practices -- particularly if it was possible for IV sedation so I can get all 3 root canals in one procedure so I wouldn't have to get injected & numbed on 3 different separate areas of the mouth on 3 separate occasions...! The main reason I went for a consultation w/ them is because, through a Bard search, found that they were one of the few practices which reviews had spoken about doing 3 root canals within a single procedure; which Dr. Ahani later confirmed. They were one of the very few practices in the whole Bay Area that offer IV sedation as an option. Furthermore, they do offer inhalation sedation (nitrous oxide) & oral medication (Halcion); and another additionally impressive offering by them is that it can be done simultaneously (most others cannot)! The practice is modern, spacious, very sanitary, & clean. The building itself seemed rather outdated and betrays what the office looks like as it doesn't allude how modern it was inside the office. Calling to make an appointment, I was informed that they did not take my dental insurance (Delta Dental). I was also informed that he usually allots time for consultations at 8:45Am or 1:45PM. The CT scan seemed to be a very advanced piece of machinery. Afterward, they also took x-rays as well. Dr. Ahani is very personable, understanding, and empathetic. He understood my circumstance & my worries about it. He understood how, with 3 teeth at 3 different quadrants of the mouth, how I did not wish to go through multiple procedures for each of them, and was open & more than willing to accomplish doing it in a single procedure. He also assured me that, if I did not opt for the IV sedation that would require, he could offer both oral medication & inhalation sedation to assist w/ the anesthesia. After examining, he started explaining his assessment in which he took a page of paper and started also rudimentarily draw (doodling) what he was explaining & what was going on/happening with my teeth. After he was done explaining it all to me & gave me my options, he left & I went to the front desk. There, they totaled up to give an estimate of what the procedure would cost; both what each individual tooth would be & the total for all 3 teeth. IV sedation would add $1500-$1800 on top of that & was not covered by insurance. How it worked w/ IV sedation is that it is provided by another company; the appointment is coordinated w/ them. I was told before finding them that usually the outside companies have it that there's a deposit to be paid (like 50% the initial cost), then both businesses coordinate to make an appointment, that you are given 1 or 2 hours based on the IV sedation company (2 hours w/ the one Bayside partners with), then it will be an additional fee ($25-$50) per minutes after. In the end, together w/ the consultation and the root canal procedure on the 1st tooth, it would've been around $2500 -- if you look at the estimate, my/patient due is $2021 at the time of the procedure as about $500 was due right after the consultation; $245 for the consultation, $255 for the CT scan. Of course it only applied to the 1st tooth so it is $500 lower cost for any additional procedures (which I would need 2 more). Even with that, the other two is $3800 (for another molar, the bicuspid is $240 less). Also must again note, that that is not including the $1500-$1800 IV sedation if that is opted for. As you can see in the estimate, they charge for the nitrous-oxide, but the oral medication (Halcion) is included in the main treatment. I was told directly by Dr. Ahani the oral medication is offered & inclusive. All in all to do all 3 at the same time w/ just IV totaled around $7800! The last thing I will fault is that he also missed that a tooth, after deep & further examination by another endodontist, was determined that an extraction should be seriously considered instead of a root canal as it seems there's a considerable chance the tooth will not hold up after a root canal & permanent crown after a certain amount of time (which the tooth DID end up fracturing before extraction). After it all, I had to pass on this very promising practice and the great prospect that is Dr. Ahani. I found another endodontic practice that does take my insurance, and I just could not justify the cost difference between the 2 practices. I really do wish that it wasn't the case, or I would've gone with Dr. Ahani and Bayside Endodontics. read more

Being laid off, experienced a hit and run from my bike. It just seemed I was experiencing a wave of bad luck. My front tooth got damaged from the accident, had a hard time finding a dentist that can help me from my ever growing pain. Dr. Ahani, with his big heart, great skills, which is superceded by his humor, I was finally out of pain. And the process was the best dental experience. Thank you, Dr. Ahani! read more

I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jennifer Fong and her dedication to her patients. She not only eased my pain but also identified the true source of my difficult issue. Through her exceptional care during my root canal, what started as an agonizing week transformed into a manageable challenge.

I could spend the whole day praising Dr. Fong and her team for their help, commitment, great services and recognition. read more

I just got off the phone with the most helpful associate named Norma explaining in detail my billing questions regarding my OTHER endodontist! I'm not even her patient and yet she took the time to help me understand my concerns. Too bad they are out of network. read more

Dr. Ahani did a great job evaluating my root canal. Was very honest when he saw that it wasn't going to work long term and recommended I get an implant instead of wasting money on a root canal that probably wouldn't last Most places would do the job anyway Great staff, and an honest, caring doctor Would recommend to anyone read more

They squeezed me in at the end of the day on Friday, diagnosed my problem, determined I didn't need a root canal and referred me to an oral surgeon who was able to see me at 4pm that day. They were fast, friendly and efficient. Highly recommended. Dr. Sajini Sasthri did the exam and was terrific. read more

Dr. Ahani and team were THE BEST. I had to go in for a root canal, which was tricky since pain meds don't always kick in enough for my body. Dr. Ahani took my concerns seriously, explained everything very clearly, checked in during each step of the procedure, and when I did start feeling pain, he let me decide if we continued. I wanted to finish it out, so he came up with some pain management options that thankfully ended up working. They were so kind, so patient--I'd recommend Dr. Ahani and his team 200%! Bonus: there was literally no pain in the days afterward. read more

Excellent Healthcare professional and staff!!! I came to get my first root canal at Bayside Endodontics and what a great experience. Dr Ahani and his staff are the best.

I didn't' feel a thing, painless procedure, soft hands, what a gifted dentist. Thank you Dr Ahani and team I highly recommend Bayside Endodontics!!! read more

If I can say a Root Canal was a good experience, it was. Dr Ahani was detailed in my evaluation, put me at ease and because of that, I moved forward. So glad I did. Gentle, kind, always checking if I am ok. Quick, painless. The staff, help were so kind as well, all through the office. Good vibes. They are not in my insurance, but I will go back if needed because I was well taken care of, and that matters more. read more

I did two root canal treatments at Bayside Endodontics. Dr. Ahani was referred from my dentist. I was little bit anxious before the procedure, but everything went smooth and I am very grateful for the professionalism and quality of work done by Dr. Ahani and his team. The timing was perfect too, single visit each and all was completed to my satisfaction. Look no further you can't go wrong with him. read more

Who thought a root canal could be such a painless experience? From my visit this week to Bayside Endodontics, I truly went through one of the most dreaded procedures quite literally without any pain! The staff at the office was friendly and efficient from end to end of the whole process. On the administrative side, they called me to confirm my appointment beforehand, checked me into their systems via on boarding paperwork quite seamlessly, and provided me a quote for the procedure baking in my insurance coverage prior to the operation which took all the thinking out of the whole thing for me. Because I had to stop in before work, I really appreciated both their speediness and early morning hours to make their services more accessible. Dr. Sajini Sasthri oversaw my procedure and was incredibly kind and professional. She walked me through every step of the process, checked in with me to ensure I was comfortable, and was both reassuring and forthcoming. She and her assistants worked well together and I never once felt like anything went less than smoothly. The next day, Dr. Sasthri also called to check in with me to see how I was doing- such a thoughtful and professional gesture from an office that I'm sure is otherwise super busy! That all said, I would highly recommend Dr. Sasthri and Bayside Endodontics to anyone looking for a smooth and painless operation. read more

They got my son in for an emergency root canal pretty fast! Everything from start to finish was super easy, prompt, and professional. The entire crew was AMAZING! read more

Got referred here and I can definitely recommend! Michaela did my x-rays and such a joy and sweet person. Dr. Fong was amazing, carefully explained everything that was happening and what she was going to do. She would ask if I was ok during the appointment and hummed along with the Christmas music playing. She even called later than day to see if I was okay. That goes a long way with me. The office was immaculate - very sterile, with air purifiers everywhere and every surface clean. read more

Top notch care. I cannot express how thankful i am to have come seen Dr. Fong. She was very thorough and very careful in evaluating everything i needed to know before my procedure. Even after the procedure, she followed up to see if everything was okay. Clear instructions were given for next steps. Extremely helpful staff and knowledgeable. read more

Came here for root canal retreatment and was highly impressed with Dr Ahani. Highly recommended if you need an endodontist

Been meaning to write this, if a root canal can be pleasant, this place comes the closest! I've had my share of root canals with very unpleasant experiences. So when I was referred to Dr Ahani I was very nervous. But that went away quickly as Dr Ahani and his staff made me so comfortable. He is so gentle and makes sure you are not feeling pain. i left feeling like I wouldn't mind coming back...of course don't want another root canal, but if I need one, I know where to go! read more

This is regarding Dr fong. She is the best! I had a traumatic experience in the past and now I feel much better. Thank you for being such a great Endodonist! You have the best bed side manner that I wish I had with my dentist/endodonist growing up. With Doctor Fong, she does a thorough job and checks in on her patients. Just the best and I highly recommend her to anyone! read more

This is the far best specialists and crew I've ever encountered. Dr. Fong and the crew are very passionate about customer's comfort. I don't think I'd ever go to any other place to do my endodontics work done. Thank you for making my root canal experience at ease. read more

I recommend Dr Ahani and his team to anyone who is in need of a root canal! He is truly amazing and very kind! I've had another root canal in the past and it doesn't compare to this pain free experience i had with Dr Ahani. read more

My poor review is based on the dental office staff at Bayside Endodontics. I was wondering why I received several missed calls all day today as I had my first ever root canal performed back in July. It turns out the refund check that they issued to me was Norma's error and she ended up combining someone else's refund payment with mine. So not only was paying for this procedure expensive to begin with, but now I owe them $131 because of Norma's mistake. I paid the $633 in the office that was owed when I had the procedure done. If she made this mistake on my account then what else has she slipped up on when this is her job and she does this every day? I do not need apologies. I need you to do your job correctly the first time. On the upside about this place, Dr. Fong and her dental assistants are super professional and polite. She explains the procedure to you step by step--you may just need her to repeat some things or speak slower because she kind of rushes through it. Dr. Fong even called me after the procedure just to follow-up. I had some pain after the procedure and I ended up needing to have her shave down the filling a little to make my bite more leveled. Once that was taken care of my tooth was fine. Thanks Dr. Fong! read more

Dr. Fong and her assistant were an awesome team. My tooth was not easy to do but the whole process went smoothly. Everything was thoroughly explained and throughout I was told what was happening. To keep things light, Dr. Fong hummed along with couple of songs while she worked and I could hear Dr. Ahani singing a couple of lines in another area. This made me smile even though my lips were captured in a rubber dam. Love this professional, cheerful and friendly staff. I hope I won't need another root canal but if I did, this is best place to have it done. read more

I was referred to Bayside Endodontics for a retreat root canal. It was abscessed and my cheek was swollen and I was in pain. I was fortunate to have Dr. Sajini Sasthri perform my procedure. I was very nervous and she was quick to calm my nerves. She was very professional and explained in detail every step of the procedure. I was informed that I would need the retreat done in two appointments. I was placed on antibiotics and given the date of my next appointment. Dr. Sasthri later called to check up on how I was feeling. Before my next appointment date arrived I had more swelling and pain. I called the office to report this to Dr. Sasthri. I was told she was out of the office for a few days but they would get the message to her. Dr. Sasthri called me within twenty minutes. She told me she would call in a different antibiotic for me and moved my appointment up to the first day she would return instead of make me wait until the scheduled appointment. The swelling went down and I returned and had the second treatment done. I wasn't home more than an hour when she called to see how I was feeling and if I was in any pain after the numbness wore off. I can't stressed how grateful I am to all the assistants and staff who attended to me. I recommend Bayside Endodontics to anyone who needs their services. read more

Dr. Sasthri did a great job on my comlicated root canal retreatment. She explained all options I have and the procedure we would go through, which made me confortable to go with the root canal retreatment with her. That was the longest procedure I've ever had in my life, so it was tiring and exhausting but she and her staff was always asking me how I was doing. The procedure was successful and I feel more than great rigth now. read more

Dr. Fong is absolutely the best. It was a very complicated procedure, but she is not only the most gentle endodontist, but she is very caring, explains everything she is going to do, and she follows up by calling you after the procedure. Her assistants explain everything also so you're never left wondering what's next. The front desk staff are not only friendly, but very professional too. Although I hope I never have to get another procedure done, if I did, no question I would call Dr. Fong at Bayside Endodontics. read more

The staff here is great! I am anxious with any dental procedure so having a root canal is one of my worst nightmares. Dr. Fong has been patient and clearly explains each step to put me at ease. The staff is always checking to make sure I'm okay throughout the process and Dr. Fong even checks in with you after the procedure to make sure you're doing okay. If you need to get a root canal this is the place to go. read more

I wish I could rate Bayside 10 stars. Bayside has truly transformed my attitude toward dental work and my oral hygiene. Due to negative experiences in the past, I've neglected significant dental work over the past 5 years. Going to the dentist became my biggest fear. I was referred by my new dentist to Bayside for two root canals to start my long journey toward a healthy mouth. The last root canal that I had (15+ years ago) was incredibly painful and just doesn't register as a positive memory. Enter Dr. Ahani. In my wildest dreams, I never expected to be laughing...and I mean full-on CRACKING up...while Dr. Ohani was operating on my mouth. Over two appointments, it was truly the most incredible experience I've ever had with a medical professional. He took the time to explain what was happening with the two impacted areas in such a way that was easy to understand. But most importantly, Dr. Ohani was incredibly supportive & understanding about why my mouth was in the state that it was. Most people that get to the unfortunate state that I was in are afraid of being ashamed and embarrassed - that was the exact opposite of the treatment I received during my time there. Also, shout out to Chris for being such an impressive partner for Dr. Ohani during my first appointment. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!!! read more

Courteous, professional, and incredibly precise - what more can I say about Bayside Endodontics? Dr. Fong conducted an incredibly careful and thorough cleaning of an infected root canal that was horrifically painful before she started work, and incredibly blissful when she was finished. Honestly, before this experience I had no idea what an Endodontist even was - but I swear to god I will never forget. Her team was able to rush me into the chair for treatment, but never once rushed their work while I was under the lights - deliberately cleaning every nook and cranny of my "unusually complex" infected molar. Weeks later and I am totally pain-free, grateful to this team for the incredible help they were able to provide. Funny, you really don't walk around on a normal day being grateful for the fact that your lower jaw isn't in incredible pain - but trust me, you should. That said, if you ever do find yourself in the same terrible position I was in, do not hesitate. Get on the phone with this team and get your teeth fixed ASAP. read more

best surgical treatment i've ever had. went in for a consultation and root canal. super quick scans and Dr. Ahani answered all my questions and talked me through my x-rays. they gave me an estimate and explained it very well. the procedure itself was quick and painless. thanks, Dr. Ahani and mikayla! read more

I have only wonderful things to say about Dr. Wong and all of the staff. I had pain for about a week and my dentist referred me over. They got me in two days later. I was greeted immediately and helped within 2-3 minutes of my early arrival. My dental assistant was the best! He kept reassuring me that I was doing a great job and Dr. Wong was so patient! She explained all my options, told me what was happening as we went along and even called me at 8 pm last night to make sure I was doing well! I got to say, that was really special. I have had other root canals and while the doctors have always said to call in if I have a problem, Dr. Wong also called to check up on me herself! They have a great, professional staff, nice and clean offices and care about their patients! Thank you so much for taking care of me the way you did! read more

I called in for a tooth that was hurting that my dentist said I may need a root canal on and was taken the next day. Dr Sasthri did the root canal and she was wonderful. Very sweet and calming. Her assistant was great to. Office staff very nice to. Thank you Dr. Sasthri... read more

Let me start by saying that I absolutely HATE going to the dentist! When I was told I might needd a root canal I was dreading my appointment. When I came into the office, the staff was friendly and helpful when I inquired about my dental coverage. I ended up seeing Dr. Fong for my root canal. The entire procedure was painless. She was very informative before and after the procedure. Her assistant was great as well. I would definitely go back to see Dr. Fong again if I ever need similar work done in the future. read more
