I can't say enough about my experience with Dr. Chung and her team. From the moment I called for a very last-minute, same-day emergency appointment, they were incredibly accommodating and quick to assess my situation. They did everything they could to get me back in promptly for the root canal I needed. Dr. Chung and her team are exceptionally attentive and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Her team is efficient, caring, and just as focused on patient comfort. You can tell they truly care about their patients. I'll absolutely return if I ever need anything in the future, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of an Endodontist. read more

I cannot say enough about Dr. Chung. From the moment I met with her for my failed root canal (not done by her), she was kind and caring, and took time to discuss my options moving forward. I had questions in the days that followed, and she answered all of them via text in a kind and patient manner. I feel like I can be a bit of a pain when I am weighing medical and dental options, but she was patient and didn't seem to mind my questions. I wish she were the oral surgeon, too! :( read more

Could not recommend the group at Five Cities Endodontics enough! They make you feel like part of the family from the moment you walk through the door, take time to answer all your questions, and give service that's above and beyond! You can tell the team enjoys their work there, and working together. 10/10 would recommend! read more

This practice is very thorough, kind, and professional. The location is perfect with plenty of parking. Thank you!

Well, i do not love getting root canals, I had 2, but this was as good as it gets. the staff is awesome, friendly and accommodating. There is a menu of care items, water, tea, chapstick, music menu. excellent. almost a spa experience, except the root canal part. High level of service. Dr. Chung is fantastic, explaining everything at every step. You can't ask for a better experience. Thanks to her whole staff. read more

Don't hesitate coming here!! Take care of your teeth! As an Emergency Room Registered Nurse, I have had the privilege of interacting with numerous physicians and surgeons, particularly oral surgeons, due to the high rate of oral traumas we receive from the dunes in the Oceano area. However, none I have interacted with have come close to the level of care and expertise exhibited by Dr. Chung and her brilliant assistants, Claire and Tiffany, at 5 Cities Endodontics. After YEARS of enduring pain, I was referred to this exceptional endodontist by Dr. Yoon in San Luis Obispo (also a brilliant dentist who got me in for an emergency appointment right away), and I am immensely forever grateful for the quality care I received. I visited 5 Cities Endodontics after experiencing two failed root canals and a subsequent failed apicoectomy from an oral surgeon (not their fault, my tooth is tricky as heck!). I take really good care of my teeth, but I truly dislike scheduling the q6 month cleanings and any routine dental procedures...I'd rather vacuum the beach than go to the dentist.. My case was complex, as I had never experienced a cavity or significant oral trauma on the affected tooth-which was my canine and highly visible when I smile or speak. Despite this, the tooth was in excruciating pain and turning gray in color. Dr. Chung's calm demeanor and thorough examination and surgery put me at ease immediately. She was not only the most knowledgeable and thorough doctor I've ever encountered but also possessed a steady hand and a genuine care for her patients. It's easy to get jaded and burnt out in medicine these days, but I feel like she genuinely loves her work and her staff actually enjoys working there alongside her. Dr. Chung performed an apicoectomy and installed a cadaver bone above the affected tooth, followed by meticulous stitching. I went to work 4 days later and one of the older ED docs said it looked like she really did a great job! Her office provided oral anxiolytics and laughing gas to ease my *severe* dental anxiety, making the surgery comfortable...for all involved! Post-surgery, the office diligently followed up to ensure my well-being and monitored the healing process. They even sent the removed tissue for pathology to rule out any serious underlying conditions which I am thankful for. The office is equipped with top-of-the-line technology and offers a range of amenities during procedures, including chapstick, blankets, warm towels, noise-canceling headphones, Netflix, and a bunch of other options which I don't really recall. Despite my anxiety and concerns, Dr. Chung and her team treated me with respect and understanding, demonstrating exceptional skill and professionalism. I know I can be a difficult patient, so this did not go unnoticed. Their office is located in the busy Village of Arroyo Grande and they had ample parking surrounding the building. They provided post-op support with pain management, antibiotics, and steroid injections to aid in healing. Their panoramic (?) x-ray machine was also very cool--it was like a 3D image of my mouth showing everything! Really, I cannot recommend or thank 5 Cities Endodontics enough. If I could nominate them for the best endodontist office, I would do so without hesitation. Dr. Chung and her team have not only alleviated my pain but have also restored my faith in quality medicine on the Central Coast. read more

This office is spectacular. The staff is incredibly kind. Tiffany was with me for my consult and root canal and was awesome. The office itself is so nice and cozy. Dr. Chung is thorough, skilled and kind. It was my first ever root canal and I fell asleep for part of it (No anesthesia!). They present you with a "menu" of care items before hands, like a blanket or head phones. I can also tell that the way the staff and Doctor interact that they treat each other with kindness and respect and have a positive working environment. If you have to get a root canal, get it here read more

Quick response because they were able to get me scheduled ASAP . Very state of the art equipment. The staff were gentle and fast. I was in for a root canal. But unfortunately my tooth was unable to be saved. I thank them for understanding my pain and getting me help quickly. read more

I decided to see call Dr. Chung based on the Yelp reviews. I wasn't disappointed. I had an appointment for the day after I called. Her office is in a quaint little house just off the main drag in AG. The house has a sign that says Endodontist and Dr. Chung. I think she needs to trim away some of the plants in front of it so it is better visible. The staff was very efficient and attentive. After x-rays Dr. Chung showed them to me. They were in an easy to understand format with notations on screenshots of the X-rays. She found a problem with the tooth next to the one that I was concerned about which was extremally helpful. She also suggested possible alternatives to root canal such as extraction and a dental implant. I've had success with implants in the past but the cost these days is prohibitive for me. She did not do any "selling" which was nice. I didn't feel pressured to make a choice of treatment during the visit. The day after I left the office I received an email copy of the screen shots of the x-rays along with her report to the referring dentist. I liked the idea that she did this. I was able to see what my regular dentist was going to see. A lot of medical people want to leave the patient out of the loop. A few days later I had some questions and emailed Dr. Chung. She returned the email with a phone call. I thought I would hear from one of her staff but she called and twice because she missed me the first time. She called in an antibiotic prescription for me incase I needed it at some future time so I would have it on hand. She also said she would send me a flash drive with the original x-ray on it. I have to wait until after the first of the year when my insurance replenishes to have the work done. I don't see how anyone can go wrong with this doctor? If you are out of town the drive to AG is worth it. I have 82 Yelp reviews but it may show less. Yelp messed up my account. read more

Root canal done by Dr. Chung and didn't feel a thing. Office staff is amazing. I was offered water, headphones, and a warm blanket during the procedure. Dentistry has come a long way baby! read more

Absolutely amazing and friendly office from the front desk to the doctor. Very welcoming front desk and assistant. The doctor was informative and answered all my questions. I never felt rushed. I felt everyone cared about me and my dental health. read more

This Endodontics team is 10-star on a 5-star scale. I'm no stranger to root canals -- have easily had more than a dozen over the years. This group is stellar beyond words. Wise, skilled, conscientious, and caring are just a few that I'm confident patients can count on! read more

I am so incredibly thankful for Dr. Chung, Tiffany, Charity, and Andrea for taking such great care of me when I was in the worst pain I've ever felt. When I called to explain my situation and to ask if they could help me, their response was, "Come in right now if you can." I knew from the moment I walked in the door that I was in good hands. It was very obvious to me that they truly care about their patients. I'd never had a root canal before and was very nervous, but Dr. Chung and her staff made me feel so comfortable. The procedure itself was a breeze and pain free, and they provided me with a warm blanket, noise cancelling headphones, and chapstick. They thought of everything! I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do, this will be the first place I call. Thank you so much for your amazing care, taking my pain away, and saving my tooth! read more

This was the best experience in root canal health. The office in AG is quaint and spotless with natural light and tasteful decor. Really remarkable. The staff is very friendly and comforting. Dr Chung exudes confidence and patient-centered concern and care. I was out of pain when the procedure was over for the day. No one wants to need a root canal but this was the optimal experience for that problem. read more

The best experience I've had since moving to the central coast almost 6 years ago. Dr. Chung and her staff are absolutely the best. Their quality of care is unsurpassed! I went in for a root canal and they followed up afterwards to check in with me and Dr. Chung counseled me although she was out of town at a conference. She also adjusted my bite as my dentist could not make the right adjustment after 6 visits. I highly recommend this Endodontics team! read more

Excellent experience the staff was very gentle and experienced. I had X-rays for a root canal. The X-rays showed a crack in my tooth making the root canal not able to be successful. I am beyond grateful. I recommend this business 100% read more

Dr. Chung and her staff are the most accommodating and comforting endodontists on the central coast. If you are looking for treatment, look no further than five cities endodontics! I reached out to Dr. Chung with a significant toothache and I was promptly able to make an appointment to come into the office the same day. Even being someone who is very uncomfortable in dentist offices, Dr. Chung's office truly feels like home. Her staff do everything they can to make sure you have everything you need and after my treatment they were sure to check up on me regularly. Cannot thank this office enough for their help when I needed it so much. read more
