I cannot recommend Dr. Wirig enough. I was so nervous about my first (hopefully last) root canal but he walked me through everything, assured me it would be pain free, and that there would be very little to no downtime at all. And he was right! I didn't feel anything, he was so quick and attentive, and so far, still barely any swelling. Nobody wants to get a root canal but if you come here you're in the best hands! Thank you Dr. Wirig!! Shannon K read more

I just had treatment and received excellent care and would highly recommend anyone for a visit. Very modern and high-tech. Staff was very pleasant and professional. read more

I have pretty significant dental anxiety, but my root canal with Dr. Wirig went really well, better than fillings I've had in the past! He is calming, quick, and really good at getting you completely numb! Wish he did crowns! read more

Did a root canal with Dr Wirig - super professional - allowed me to ask a bunch of questions. I was really nervous about the procedure and he calmed my nerves and did a stellar job . Highly highly recommend him for any root canal needs. read more

I just had a complicated rootcanal with Dr. D. Wirig. I was nervous about it but he immediately put my mind at ease. Several shots were administered and after that there was no pain throughout the whole procedure. Dr. Wirig was professional, confident and gentle. I left his office with no residual pain nor complications. I would highly recommend him for Rootcanal treatments! read more

I came in with a horrible toothache. Needed a root canal. The front desk got me in ASAP. I am very afraid of the dentist. Dr Wirig talked to me and actually ASKED me what was I afraid of and address all of my concerns (explaining what he was going to do and how he would do it). I am afraid of needles and he made sure I was numb before injections. I was so afraid that I was going to eventually feel SOMETHING and scream, my body was tense the entire time. After a good 25-30 minutes, he was done and I was so surprised it went by so fast. I was able to relax. I hope I never have to see him again, but if I do, I know it's definitely not as bad as I think going to the dentist is. read more

Dustin Wirig, DDS - View from the chair was nice. - Endodontists Near Me - San Francisco, California

If you need a root canal, go to Dr. Wirig. He's the only man I'd trust to perform power-tool surgery in my mouth while I'm essentially a captive audience. Flawless. 11/10. No notes. read more

Dr. Wirig has the worst bedside manner I've experienced. He was abrupt, inpatient, aggressive. He acted 'put out' when I grimaced in pain. He injected the topical anesthetic so aggressively I screamed out in pain and seemed annoyed by my reaction. He was so rough that the tissue around the tooth was torn up and I experienced intense throbbing pain for a week. His staff was rude. He rushed through the procedure like he was being timed. He didn't wait for CT results prior to starting the root canal. He rushed in and rushed out. Zero finesse, zero patience, zero manners. I just hope I don't get any complications from it. This was an emergent root canal. I would never recommend him to anyone, even my worst enemies. read more

Dr. Wirig is wonderful! I had to have two root canals and he and his staff were professional, friendly, and efficient. Best of all they take Delta Dental, so the cost was much less. read more

The Very Best Dental Office! Dr. Wirig is Exceptional root canal specialist! The All Staff in clinic is Exclusive! I have been going in this office for my root canal procedures more than 10 years and I wish I could have all other dental procedures here. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU DR. WIRIG and ALL OFFICE STAFF for making me always feel WELCOME, SAVE, and PAINLESS!!! With Love and Sincere Appreciation, Your Patient Forever, Yuliya. read more

Dr. Wirig and staff are friendly, smart, and honest. I was referred to him to see if i needed a root canal and he was thorough, helpful and I really appreciated he and his staff's care. read more

I went in with sensitivity in my lower right jaw. My own dentist took a X-Ray and didn't see any cracks, but I've had a crack before and I know the symptoms. This is my 3rd time going to Dr. Wirig and it's always been an awesome experience btw. He was able to find the crack on the upper right jaw without taking an X-ray . The surgery went great with no pain. I couldn't even tell if he used a needle to numb me or not. The whole experience took less than an hour and most of it was trying to figure out where the crack was. Thanks Dr. Wirig and Team. read more

I was referred to Dr Wirig for my root canals I needed done ASAP! All I can say is... that man is performing wizardry out of that office!!! I'll be honest I had 0 idea what an "Endodontist" was before my appt. He told me all he does is root canals.. day in, day out. I will say... it definitely shows! He had me out of there pain-free in no time. I carved way too much time out of my work schedule for my appointment LOL. Dr. Wirig is a master at what he does. He's also super friendly and very VERY caring. Throughout the procedure he was constantly checking in with me that I felt 0 pain and reassuring me that if I feel the slightest sharpness of anything to tell him immediately. That was so reassuring as a patient Also... who doesn't love a Dr. playing the JAAAMMMS (Aaliyah, SWV, etc) while you're getting your work done?!?! Thank you Dr. Wirig!!!! read more

Went to Dr Wirig for a root canal. The office staff was attentive and got an appointment for me quickly. The procedure was handled in a professional manner. I've had previous experience with Wiring, so I trust he knows what he's doing. Most impressive was the procedure teamwork. No time wasted, and strictly professional. I recommend him and his well put together team. read more

The no-pain root canal!! Dr Wirig and his kind and attentive staff made this trip to the dentist no drama.

I was referred to Dr. Willian On in Dr. Wirig's office for a root canal. The work Dr. On did was performed with great kindness, skill, and expertise. I was most impressed with his capability and the general ambience in the office, which was outfitted with the latest equipment and technology. I was happy too that the office took my insurance, from Kaiser Advantage HPO. I would recommend anyone to Dr. On, whose work is impeccable. Vikki C. August 5, 2025 read more

Just when I thought a dentist couldn't get any better I went her due to a referral from my previous dentist and everything about my experience was top tier. The customer service was amazing but most of all the skill of this dentist is superb and second to none. I was so comfortable the entire procedure which was a root canal I almost fell asleep. I was absolutely mind blown. He has totally revamped my feeling towards dentistry. If Dr. Wirig isn't the best dentist in San Francisco in just entirely uninformed because based on my experience there's no one better. He's HIM!!!!!!!!!! If I can give him 20 stars. I will Thank you so much for the most amazing dentist experience I ever had. read more

Dr. Wirig is very professional as well as warm and friendly. He chose the least invasive and least expensive treatment plan for me with positive results. read more

Would you believe that a root canal procedure, actually 2 roots canal procedures done by Dustin Wirig were not dramatic. He and his staff did amazing work in such a harmony and coordination, went fast, almost zero discomfort. Such a skilled, confident and pleasant man who answered my very specific questions. read more

Had my 2nd root canal last month and can't thank Dr Wirig and his staff for scheduling me so quickly! The care received is excellent from the office staff, his dental assistants and Dr Wirig himself. Highly recommend Dr Wirig! read more

Great experience - Dr. Wirig knows what he's doing. Trust me, I never expected to leave a review for a dentist, much less after a root canal; however, he was really terrific. read more

I have received two treatments from Dr. Wirig. He seems to know what he's doing and explains things very well. His pricing, billing and office policies are fair. His office space looks new and professional. He could be nicer to his staff. read more

outstanding. so efficient. very pleasant. so professional. great staff. good communication. i had no pain from the root canal during or after the procedure. amazing. this is the second root canal i have had with dr. Wirig. Great. read more

1 star because they take longer to bill your insurance so if you have any follow up procedures with your dentist after make sure that these folks submit claims within a timely manner or you can get screwed over with dental insurance that have annual maximums. Dr. Wirigs work is good, but his admins/billing team are what caused the issue. Found out from insurance that they submitted their claim after my dental claim which were 2 weeks apart. If it was billed right after the service was completed, I could have asked my dentist to push out the services I got two weeks later to 2025 or have an accurate out of pocket quote. Getting a $500+ bill in the mail out of nowhere is not something to look forward to right before the holidays. read more

I had my first root canal appt with Dr. Wirig's office today. I was anxious, but it was a pleasant experience. Dr Wirig was very kind and gentle, reassuring me that I shouldn't feel any pain. I didn't! I really appreciate him and all of the staff. Everyone was pleasant, patient and comforting. read more

Dr. Wirig is hands down the best dental professional I have ever had the pleasure of doing treatment with. As someone who has had and continues to need extensive dental work, Dr. Wirig has taken the best care of me. I had never had a root canal before and I was very anxious going into it. Dr. Wirig did a phenomenal job and dissolved all of my worries within seconds. I didn't feel a thing during the procedure and both him and his team made sure I was comfortable the whole time. If anyone I know ever needs a root canal he's the first and only endodontist I will recommend. I am forever grateful to have such a wonderful experience and look forward to seeing him if I ever need further work done. read more

I went to see Dr. Wirig today for my first ever root canal. To say I was anxious is an understatement - I mean, the procedure does not have a great reputation! Dr. Wirig was kind, answered all of my questions and made me feel like he had all the time in the world for me and would make sure I would experience no pain during the procedure. And I didn't! His office is extremely well-run, with appointments beginning and ending when they're supposed to and they play great music in the waiting and procedure rooms (at least in this Gen-Xer's opinion). I hope not to need another root canal (the pain kicks in eventually) but, if I do, I will definitely go back to see Dr. Wirig! read more

Summary: Dr Wiring the endo KING!! I went in at 9am with pain and quickly diagnosed and got me in at 1pm. He said he would work through lunch to get me out of pain - #1 rule for dental office customer service. Get your patient out of pain quickly. I came in at 1pm. He gave me anesthesia at 1:15pm. Started my endo at 1:30pm and finished at 2:05pm. Really!!! Who does that. 35 minutes. As you can tell this is not my first endo and I've had terrible terrible 2-3 hour experiences in the past. Dr Wiring was so efficient I almost don't mind going back and getting more endo done. Hands down the King of Endo! Thanks again to Dr Wiring and his efficient team... read more

Root canals are a breeze...said no one ever. Well despite their terrible reputation, Dr. Wirig and his team can confidently make that statement. Except for the minor pinch of the local anesthetic shot, I felt NOTHING. From the time I stepped in to the office and the time I left, I was out in 35 minutes. Everyone from the receptionist to his 2 assistants were extremely professional and pleasant. read more

I was kind of terrified of getting my first root canal a few weeks ago, but Dr. Wirig made the experience completely painless and eased my concerns. He and his staff are extremely courteous and kind, and I can't recommend the office enough. I absolutely Dr. Wirig if you need an endodontist. read more

Saw me within a week of request, asked me to visit to prep the root canal. Root canal itself was painless - Yay! beautiful Union street office, friendly staff. Dr Wirig answered my questions. Thanks! read more

Dr Wirig was fantastic. I think the entire root canal took 30 minutes and was painless. He walked me through the entire thing. Him and his staff were very courteous. I can't recommend him enough. read more

I've had two root canal procedures at this office. Both were painless and I walked away not needing pain meds. Both of my procedures had complications and the results were great. This doctor is a perfectionist and extremely thorough. After the work, he took several images of the tooth and went back to work to make sure everything was right before sending me on my way. Very trustworthy office. read more

Had an appointment at 4:00pm and arrived in time. I walked out of the building at 4:36pm. What?? I've had root canals done before and none of them as easy as this one. Guy has some kind of magnifying glass he looks through and goes to work like a mad scientist. No pain because he shot me in the right spot. Thoroughly pleased. read more

Front office staff is good and efficient. Wirig is probably technically very competent, But he seems to have a barely suppressed arrogance, tolerates but is impatient with questions, especially those coming from women. There are lots of good endos in San Francisco and if I ever have to do this again would search elsewhere. If this type of personality doesn't bother you, or if you like it, you should seek treatment here.Surprised, because he was recommended by an outstandingly good general dentist. read more

I was referred to Dr. Wirig by my dentist after experiencing severe pain while prepping for a dental procedure. Dr. Wirigwas able to get me an emergency consult with in 1.5 hrs, he immediately reassured me, ordered scripts, and fit me in next day. He and his office staff were also able to squeeze me in after i showed up late. Care wise, this was my first root canal, novocain and numbing usually doesn't work too well on me, and to say that i was a bit apprehensive is an under statement. Dr. Wirig was very patient and calming, i felt ZERO pain. I would HIGHLY recommend anyone to him. read more
