I would highly recommend Dr. Laura Kim. You can tell that she loves her work and she's good at it. Equally impressive was her office staff. They are great. The front-office team is very responsive to text and phone communications. Always with a friendly attitude that comes across as sincere. I am a new patient - recommended by my dentist- I had to have two (!) emergency root canals. So distressing. So painful. And yet her staff made me feel welcome and I left feeling so well-taken care of. They followed up as promised. Very smooth operations at this office and professional. I have now found my favorite Endodontist. I drove from San Jose to Morgan Hill and did not mind doing so. I wanted to share my experience in case you are looking for a dental specialist. Dr. Laura Kim is a gem. Well worth your trust. read more

I was referred to Dr. Kim by my dentist for my root canal. Mari was very sweet & kind over the phone and in person. I was in a lot of pain before my appt. I have a difficult time getting numb but they were very patient and understanding. I can say all went well & it was a great appointment. Who can say that after a root canal? I recommend Dr. Kim and her wonderful staff for your root canal treatment! read more

She was handpicked to take over Dr. Arita's practice and she is a gem! read more

First off I couldn't believe this office got me in the same day I needed care.what a beginning. I had seen Dr. Kim for another root canal in the summer so I knew what to expect. Everything went well. I was in the chair about an hour and the doctor performed a root canal and made a space for a post that my dentist would be placing the next day. Dr. Kim is very gentle, talks you through what she's doing, and makes sure you are comfortable before sending you on your way. I highly recommend Dr. Kim I'f you need endodontics done. read more

Went in for my first root canal procedure ( I'm 60). I was extremely nervous. Dr Lin and her entire staff were extremely friendly and helpful and made the procedure seem like nothing more than a filling. They explained the procedure from start to finish. They further made sure that I had the proper post care. I am truly thankful to Dr Lin and her staff. I highly recommend this office for Endodontic care. read more

I thought root canals were supposed to be painful! This is the second root canal that I have had done by Dr Kim. The first one I thought maybe I was just lucky because it was no worse than having a filling. The second root canal was just as pain free and I attribute this to Dr Kim skill and not luck. I am 22 hours post root canal and I am at 100% with zero pain. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing a root canal She is simply a great endodontist! read more

I was referred to Dr. Laura Kim by my dentist for a root canal. I fun her to be very caring, kind and knowledgeable. She did an excellent job and I was pleased with her work. You will find her and her office staff very pleasant people to take care of you. read more

Excellent customer service, very knowledgeable and above and beyond service. Dr. Arita and his staff are the best in the business. They provide an exceptional service in the south valley.

Excellent endodontist! I had a great root canal on a very sore molar and it was really well done, no pain whatsoever, great results afterwards. I'd highly recommend Dr. Arita to anyone needing a root canal. read more

this review is long overdue & i've recently relocated so i'm sad i won't be coming here anymore if i need anything else done in the future. several months back, my root canal had an infection where my gums were feeling swollen in the area. i was deathly afraid of having surgery on it. my dentist referred me to a different endodondist covered by my insurance but i didn't trust the reviews of that one or the location so i found dr. arita on yelp instead. i'm so happy i went with dr. arita! he & his staff are so welcoming & caring. dr. arita's office isn't covered under my insurance so i had to pay out of pocket but he made sure my payment was very fair. no extra hidden fees, everything is plain black & white. i wouldn't have had it any other way. i was reassured, treated very well & the surgery was painless from start to finish. his front desk administrative assistant, mari, is very caring & did follow ups making sure i was recovering okay. she was also quick to reply to my texts & phone calls whenever i had any questions or concerns. i knew i was in good hands with their whole team. i went in for a consultation at first, which was very brief. there i had met dr. arita & found out co$t of treatment, how he would treat my infection, how to prepare pre-surgery & what was to be expected post-surgery. next appointment was the actual surgery, which took a couple hours but i was comfortable the entire time. if you have dentist/oral surgery phobia, i SO empathize with you & trust you will be in great hands if you come here. 5 star service all the way around! my teeth & gums are so healthy & feel so good now. thank you dr. arita & everyone there for your care & making my appointments go smoothly & non-traumatizing. happy holidays! read more

What a great visit I had here today. From the receptionist, to admin, to the dental assistant and Dr. Charles. Everyone was happy, social, profesional and kind. the staff was very welcoming and humorous. My day wasn't going well. Thank you making my day positive =) . I will be back! Rose! read more

Referred to Dr. Arita for recurring ache/soreness in back molar. Took 3D xrays and explained results in great detail. He sat to explain everything he saw on the screen, what each view meant, and what my options were to resolve my issue. This was my first time visiting his office and I felt completely confident I was in great hands. Professional, intelligent and kind. My husband had been to see him previously and stated it was a completely painless root canal. Yep. True! I highly recommend Dr. Arita. read more

Dr Arita helped me years ago with my painful tooth infection. He ended up figuring out exactly what I needed. He said I needed a surgical procedure through the gums to reach the root tip. He was very professional, thorough, and the procedure itself was painless. It has been over ten years since he had completed the dental procedure and my tooth still feels great! Thank you Dr Arita! You are the best! read more

I was here 2x for root canals. The 1st time was OK - I felt comfy since he can be very talkative / bubbly which can put you at ease. The second time, I went in because of tooth pain and he didn't think I needed a root canal and sent me home. A few days later, the pain increased quite a bit and I needed to come in for a root canal. It was 6 more days of pain before I could get seen and I was referred to another endodontist. If he caught it when I was in the office, it wouldn't saved me some pain. I came back for another root canal on a different tooth, he forgot I was even in the office recently and missed a few other key points. I told him I had anxiety from my last experience with another endodontist and he brushed it off and showed little empathy. I decided that I deserve to feel good about going into a root canal so I left before he started. read more

ABSOLUTELY THE ONLY ROOT CANAL SPECIALIST I WILL EVER GO TO AGAIN IN MY LIFE and HIGHLY RECOMMEND, ESPECIALLY if you value HONESTY and EXPERIENCE! I went in determined to get a root canal done THAT DAY, and $600 less in my bank account, but with the results of his testing, determined that a root canal was not necessary because there was a different issue. Dr Arita was kind, patient and HONEST!!! read more

I was excited to go after my dentist referred me, but discourage me that I being texted with a percentage charge without even being examined in person for a full value, then let me decide if I want to proceed with the treatment, so I decided to find another more ethical doctor instead. read more

I had a very old crown that was giving me issues. My dentist referred me to Dr Arita to see if the tooth can be saved. He was super thorough, professional, knowledgeable and fair with pricing. Though we were not able to save the tooth I would totally recommend this services if you need a root canal specialist! read more

Dr. Arita has reinstated my faith in human kind. He and his entire staff are 1000% top notch. Kind, compassionate, thorough, gentle. Dr. Arita came highly recommended and deservedly so. There is a reason he has all 5 star reviews. HIGHLY recommended. read more

Dr Arita was great. Very transparent about what is going on and he clearly had my best interests at heart. He definitely took the stigma out of root canal for me. read more

Nobody wants to have a root canal but if you NEED one, Dr. Arita is the best!!! I'm such a different patient, yet he was patient with me and talked me through the whole procedure. Thank you Dr. Arita - and staff for making an unpleasant thing a wonderful experience!!! read more

I went to see this doctor because my previous dentist sent me, he thought I needed a root canal, but Dr. Arita looked at my teeth and he said I don't need one. They still charged me 96$ for consultation without letting me know ahead, I didn't expect that I didn't know that I would get charged since I went there to do the root canal not for consulting, It was unfair, I was very disappointed and very upset but I paid anyway without saying a word. read more

Dr.Arita was very professional explaining the procedure to take with my tooth problem. I was impressed with his kindness and expertise. A big thank you to Dr. Arita and kind staff. Catherine read more

Dr. Arita, is the best. He knows what he's doing, he's honest ,conservative and professional. I have to agree with Rose K, and Paula T.

I went to 4 specialists for a tooth and gum infection causing an access. It wasn't until I saw Dr. Arita who knew exactly what was wrong and finally got the appropriate treatment. The infection could have gone to my brain and killed me. Dr. Arita's outstanding expertise makes him the best of the best and also just a great person. Highly recommended! read more

Dr. Arita and his staff are fantastic. I went in for a root canal re-treatment surgery. He took his time explaining the nature of the issue and what we can do about it. This dude is extremely friendly! The procedure itself was COMPLETELY painless. I was amazed. It was my first time experiencing zero pain at a dentist. I couldn't even feel the shots! The price was very reasonable considering the work that was done. It's only been a couple weeks since I had the surgery and I'm already feeling much better. Highly recommended! read more

Firstly, I never thought I would be writing a review about a dentist but this one is worthy of praise. Like many, I was referred to Dr. Arita because of a previous root canal which now had an issue. Long story short, I had to have my original root canal from years prior redone as it was starting to abscess. Dr. Arita explained exactly what he was going to do and what outcomes I could expect etc. I think this the most pleasant dentist appointment I've ever had if one could possibly be. And what was amazing was that not once did I feel the slightest pain or even any mild discomfort. I didn't even feel the shot! Aside from his clear skill in dentistry, he's also a great humanitarian, going to under developed countries and volunteering his time to provide dental services to those who'd otherwise never get care. I'm super impressed and highly recommend him. read more

I have been seen by Dr. Arita several times for root canals, probably for the last 7 years or so. The most recent being today. (got in the same day I called). Even though I have had more root canals than I care to count (unfortunately), I am VERY FORTUNATE to have been referred to Dr. Arita. He is really the only one I trust for a very comfortable, pain free experience . Seriously, I think it all starts with being a down to earth, approachable, genuinely kind human being. That shines through pretty much as you step through the door. Awesome, responsive, kind staff, are icing on the cake. Highly recommend for expert skill set, and a very positive experience. read more

I have had several unsuccessful and painful root canals by specialists in the area. Somehow I found Dr Arita and never had those problems again. He gives a shot that is very near painless, which is important to me as I am somewhat dental phobic. He also explains what he is doing in detail. I know I always present with a difficult case, but Dr Arita can handle it! I know other endodontists would just say to pull the tooth but this guy is fiercely determined to get the job done and save the tooth. At my age this is important as my teeth are dropping like flies, despite the best of care! His staff is also very nice and friendly. I highly recommend!!!! read more

Visited Dr. Arita today for a root canal, it was hands down the best dental experience I have ever had. It was completely painless and comfortable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an excellent Endodontist. read more

Ben Stein DDS referred me to Charles Arita M DDS when he saw I needed a root canal. Root canals is all that Dr. Arita does and it shows. It was the best root canal I have ever had. I have only had one other but it was so bad that I avoided dentists at almost any cost. Which is why I needed another root canal. The local anaesthesia (shot) was almost painless and accurately removed the pain from the affected area. During the procedure Dr. Arita constantly spoke to me to inform and distract me. It was almost pleasant other than having to hold my mouth open for an hour or so. Afterwards I only needed some naprasin for a couple of days to easy the pain. If I ever need a root canal again in whatever area of the country I find myself I think I'll fly back to Dr. Arita's office. Tip: Dr. Arita informed me during the procedure that the best time to go get such a procedure is during the middle of the year. At the beginning and at the end of the year patients are flooding the medical offices to use up their medical benefits or finish a procedure that was started at the end of the year. So if you plan correctly and get your dental work done in the middle of the year the doctors are less stressed and appointment are easier to get. read more

My dentist referred me to an endodontist for a root canal and, in addition, I sought out Dr. Arita for a 2nd opinion due to high praises for his exceptional treatment and trust from several friends and family members. With his calming nature, he focused on my concerns and explained my options in detail. My tooth was severely calcified and via a 3Dxray, he was able to see if I had an infection, which was one of my concerns and thus allayed my fears that I would be ok if the procedure were unsuccessful. Aside from his exceptional expertise, Dr. Arita is extremely kind, compassionate who embodies integrity and trust. I also enjoyed hearing about his experiences through his humanitarian trips. Needless to say, I highly recommend Dr. Arita and his friendly staff. read more

Drill phobia...check, needle phobia...check, check,... I am simply phobic about anything dental. After I shattered a back tooth, I went to another dentist who didn't want to touch it, he referred me to Dr. Arita. Apparently Dr.Arita is "the man" according to the first dentist I saw. Their office called Dr. Arita's office and they fit me in the same day. Ended up needing a root canal. But the doc was great, shots were essentially painless and I was in and out in less then an hour. Very little pain once I got home. Can't ask for more than that. read more

Dr. Stein referred me to Dr. Arita too. I put off calling Dr. Arita's office for way too long.......When I finally called, his office promptly got me in for an appt within a few days. Dr. Arita's staff was very pleasant. Dr. Arita himself was very nice and explained everything to me in great detail. Unfortunately, my tooth was too far gone for him to save, so he had to refer me to an Oral surgeon. But........If I ever need a root canal, I'm coming back here! read more

When I read these positive reviews I was skeptical... however, I have been made a believer in Dr. Arita! The entire staff is so pleasant and Dr. Arita is gentle and talks you through the whole thing... He keeps you engaged which was awesome for my anxiety! I felt no pain and the whole experience was actually pleasant!!!!!!! If i need another root canal, he will be my guy... I do hope not to ever need his services again... read more

Dr. Charles Arita has proven to be one of the best dentists I've ever had work on my mouth. I just had my first root canal, ever, performed by Dr Arita last Thursday and while it is still early in my treatment, I believe it was successful. He has shown me how much he cares about his patients by contacting me during this weekend to ask how I am doing. I have never had a Dr do that before. He had explained the procedure thoroughly and what I might experience afterward, what to do, and prescriptions if needed. I just needed to let him know. Between his caring manner and excellent staff I would recommend anyone in need of his service to not hesitate to make an appointment. Also, since I don't have dental insurance, he gave me a senior citizen discount. I really appreciated his overall kindness. I look forward to my follow-up visits. read more

OMG, what an AWESOME dentist! I drove from San Jose to Morgan Hill to have Dr. Arita do a root canal and it was painless. Dr. Arita is very professional and personable. First, he numbed my gum at the injection site before the shot of Novocain. If I didn't know what he was doing, I would not known I was getting an injection. My lips were dry so his assistant put Vasoline on them so I would be comfortable during the root canal. Dr. Arita told me what he was doing every step of the procedure. He used a rubber shield to keep any debris from going in my mouth during the root canal. I was able to breathe easily and I was happy I had the shield on. The root canal took about an hour and at the end, Dr. Arita walked me to the front desk and handed me over to the receptionist to make my follow-up appointment. His entire staff is fantastic, they are extremely helpful and friendly. The office is beautiful with great equipment. An Andes chocolate awaits for you when you check out! You can't go wrong going to this dentist and you'll be happy you did, I highly recommend him!! read more

If you are looking for a excellent Endodontists that is very pleasant, honest and really cares about you Dr. Charles Arita is the very best. He really listens to you and gives you very personal care. Thank you Dr. Arita and staff! read more

Had to go in for a Root Canal and was dreading it. Everyone had scared me about how painful it is.. However, Dr. Arita clearly knows his stuff! He thoroughly explained the procedure to me, before and during the process. He described in detail exactly what he was doing and kept talking to keep me distracted. As a bonus - he was really funny too! He made sure I was completely numb so I didn't feel any pain during the operation and I didn't really have any pain afterwards either. All in all it was as good of an experience as a root canal could possibly be, haha. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs a Root Canal. read more

Never thought a root canal could be a good experience but Dr. Arita made it so! Wonderful doctor. I had a root canal that was still giving me great sensitivity, I was referred to him by my regular dentist and managed to see him the same day. It didn't take him long to figure out exactly what was causing my pain and the very next day I was scheduled for a correction procedure. He took plenty of time administering the anesthesia and I felt absolutely nothing during the entire process. He has an amazingly calming and straight forward attitude that immediately puts you at ease as it is obvious he knows exactly what he's doing. He talked though out the process which I found very reassuring - he's also great fun to listen to! The office staff were very efficient and professional and they managed to work around my insurance issues for which I am very grateful. Can't recommend Dr. Arita enough. read more
