The office looked nice and clean. The procedure was pain free and it didn't take too long.

One of my teeth has a tiny crack in 2019 and a filling kept it together nicely, but recently I had pain and was told it was time for the root canal. This would be my first. My dentist told me, unequivocally, that I should see Dr. Bui and she called his office to arrange an appointment as soon as possible. I have some major surgeries coming up and I need my teeth to be healthy for intubation, to eliminate infection risk, etc. At 9am the next morning I was in his office. Rayza was at the front desk. Such a sweet, professional, incredibly kind and patient woman. Of course I was terrified, and she put me at ease right away. Thank you Rayza! I was shown to the procedure room and met Nichelle and Dr Bui. Nichelle wiped the tears of fear I had running down my cheek before they got started working on me. I had no idea what it would feel like, and my gosh I was scared. Quickly I discovered there would be no barbaric pain, no pain at all. In fact, Dr Bui took exceptional care in administering numbing gel, and allowing it time to do it's thing, before numbing the entire area by injection, which didn't hurt at all. He even made sure that I was numb enough by placing something cold on the tooth to check. I did feel something and he gave me a numbing injection at the roof of my mouth to take care of that. The point is, he makes sure you are comfortable and won't experience any pain. I felt the movement of the files in my mouth and was blown away by how patient Dr. Bui was with each root in the tooth. There are usually three roots, but with his 3D Panoramic Scanner he discovered a 4th root in this one tooth, and went in to complete that one too. Thorough. And the precision? Outstanding hands. I can only imagine all the training and years it took to get as good at this as he is. Thank you Dr. Bui. One last Big Thank you to Nichelle. May the world show you the kindness you showed me. Obviously, I highly recommend Dr Bui. You will be in the best hands. read more

Scheduled an emergency root canal - Dr. Bui was able to get me in right away. He's self-sufficient & knowledgeable with insurance/medical billing. He is able to do everything on his own which I was very impressed with. Most general practices do not have the imaging system to detect nerve damage when you previously had a crown placement over the affected area - but he was able to see the nerve damage immediately and everything got fixed within no time. Post-procedure meds were received and no pain at all. Thanks Dr. Bui - saved my tooth and the excruciating pain I was dealing with for weeks. read more

Dr. Bui is conscientious and went above and beyond to address the infection of my root canal. I am sharing my review so that if anyone else is terrified and needs to know if they are in the hands of someone they can trust, THIS is the endodontist for you. I hope I never need another root canal, but if I do he is the only person I will go to. I don't have insurance, but paying out of pocket for excellence is BEYOND worth it given the nightmare of teeth complications. There was zero pain and he was laser focused the entire time he was working. I came home and thanked my dentist for referring me to him. read more

It feels a little weird to give such a high rating for what is normally a terrible experience; I mean, who likes getting a root canal?! But Dr. Bui was THE BEST! Very professional, super competent. And he came in on a Saturday of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, just to see me because I was in excruciating pain that developed over the holiday and was so bad I couldn't wait until Monday. I have had many root canals (unfortunately) and I must say this was top-notch. Unfortunately the tooth could not be saved, but that was on me and my sad tooth, not on Dr. Bui. He kindly charged me a much lower fee since he wasn't able to complete the work, and referred me to an oral surgeon for extraction. If I need endontics again I wouldn't hesitate to return, and I can't recommend Dr. Bui highly enough. read more

WORTH THE TRAIN RIDE!! Took Metro North from Newburgh, NY to NYC to see Dr. Bui for my first molar root canal. Professional staff and atmosphere! They made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Trust his "Golden Hands" and you wont leave disappointed read more

I was very anxious about this root canal as my dentist told me I would need a specialist. When I arrived at Dr. Bui's practice, I was warmly greeted by his staff and was also impressed by the modern interior. I sat in the chair and was numbed. The procedure took about an hour but went very smoothly. I didn't feel a thing. I was in a great deal of pain after the procedure once the nova cane wore off but Dr. Bui called in some pain meds that allowed me to rest and get some sleep. A very positive experience. I called this office desperate when another specialist lied about taking my insurance and tried to charge me more than $1,000 out of pocket. The woman I spoke to was upfront and gave me an accurate quote before I booked my appointment so there were no surprises. She even got me in the following day. I hope I don't need another root canal in my life, however, if I did need one, I would not hesitate to call Dr. Bui. read more

Two weeks ago, I went to Dr. Bui for a 2nd opinion, he listened to my complaints and checked my teeth carefully, then suggested me to take a 3D image, from the image, he was suspicious whether my broken jaw was fixed. By my request, he helped me to call an oral surgeon and made an appointment to see the surgeon. Yes, my broken jaw was never fixed. I need another surgery. I always felt something was wrong with my teeth, but other dentists kept telling me it would take time to heel. Dr. Bui listens and he has advanced technologies to see problems that many other dental office not able to. I went to Dr. Bui for 2 root canals last week, PAINLESS. Due to my broken jaw, he asked me if I needed to take a break during the procedure. Dr Bui is the best, I can't thank him enough. read more

I was referred to Dr Bui by my long time dentist, Dr. Joseph Haggar, who I come up to NYC to see. He referred me to Dr. Bui to have a root canal and other complicated work done. I have had other root canals done elsewhere, but my dentist said Dr. Bui was the top of the line for what I needed done and after the two visits that were required to complete the work, I have to agree. To begin with, what I was braced for (pain) was painless. I didn't feel his injections at all, and he was meticulous in his work as soft music played. His assistant, Nichelle was excellent, caring and wonderfully calming. His front desk staff is welcoming and his interior offices are new age and gleaming white. I highly recommend Dr. Bui. read more

9/16/22 I do not come here in Yelp but I had to do this because I was really disgusted, bothered and disrespected . I came in the morning for a consultation for a freeze test and got charge out of pocket $275 just for him to tell me my tooth was active same consultation I had with Emily at Jacquie smiles. What a ripe off! Btw Dr Emily I bow down to you and your staff how amazing and great ful I am to have you ladies!!!!! The best dental services I have had Dr Emily you deserve the award and much Millions of thank you! Anyway back to this asshole The man has the Audacity to pull a racist card on me and say "I'm not trying to be racist or anything but this infection typically occurs with African American women" at first I didn't realize how serious it could've went or go about it but how disgusted I was when he said that. Like how do you know what race I am. I could be white and have dark curly hair or Indian have black straight hair what does that even mean ??? I said to myself and swallowed saliva. But of course we live in a fucked up world that no matter where you go or what kind of people you meet they will always judge you by the skin color. How sad! That just by looking at me you judge who I am. Well I am Afro Latina and I'm proud of it! People like you are disgusting and your practice should be closed. I came here for a "consultation" not knowing what type of visit I was going for yet alone dr Emily was under the impression it was more than a freeze test was being performed. Your staff included that Martha no professionalism whatsoever. When I asked her what consultation did she refer to she had nothing to say but only stated it will take 15 mins did not give me a direct answer as to what needed to be done. That is why I had to reschedule because I was doubting myself if I should get this consultation or not and later did I know. The worst came. I work in a radiology department at the #1 rank hospital in NYC and I will never use racist slurs or statements when checking for my patients! How disgusted I am to come across to that human. You should educate yourself and like the FIRST BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN LADY SAID Race and Racism is a reality that so many of us grow up learning to just deal with. But if we ever hope to move past it, it can't just be on people of color to deal with it. It's up to all of us-Black, white, everyone-no matter how well-meaning we think we might be, to do the honest, uncomfortable work of rooting it out. read more

Deceiving. Staff was rude. Poor customer service. Would not recommend. We had just moved to the city and had gotten dental insurance but did not have our final approval. However the dental insurance said that they would backdate our coverage (which they did). We went to Dr. Bui because he was in-network for an elective dental procedure. We had been waiting to have dental insurance to have this procedure. We told him the insurance situation and he assured us that after our dental insurance was approved we could file the claim then. Perfect. No reason to wait then? Nope. What he did not tell us is that he would charge us a much higher rate than he would otherwise be allowed to under the terms if our insurance had been active. This rate was $1000 higher. So while our insurance covered 80% of the contract rate, it covered 0% of his additional $1000 charge. Obviously if we had known that the rates were different, we would have waited an extra few days until our insurance was active. He made an additional $1000 off of us by not putting patients first. We went to his office to discuss, but he said that it was not his problem. Just his profit. read more

This was the second time that I needed an emergency root canal and I was so grateful that I had the past experience, comfort, and expertise of Dr. Young Bui to do my root canal. It was Memorial Day weekend, I was having a delicious Grom ice cream, and the sudden pain was excruciating. I knew right away I needed a root canal. The following morning I sent a text to Dr. Young Bui and he arranged for me to come in early over that holiday weekend. He's very thorough and I felt very safe under his care. He even followed up early the next morning to see how I was doing. He is a doctor that is the real deal; experienced, professional, a perfectionist, and very kind! I would highly recommend him to anyone, and I have! I hope I don't need another root canal, but if I do he's the first person I will always call. -Betsy Karp, The Color Coach read more

I'm a 63-year-old guy who has had a lot of trouble with his teeth. Both the heritage of a vegetarians in my background produced week teeth - and neglect caused me to require a root canal. This is Dr. Bui's specialty he kept me pain-free for the entire hour and 1/2 procedure - quicker than any root canal I've ever had - and I left the office happy. He warned me I might have additional pain - but there was none this was the best dental experience I have had to date, so I had to write about it! read more

I have put off getting a root canal as I just cant stand needles in my mouth - but it had gotten so bad that i could not eat on one side of my mouth. My regular dentist recommended me to Dr Bui 6 months ago but fear of pain etc just kept me away - finally decided i was being stupid and made the appointment - Martha at the front desk was very pleasant -Dr Bui was amazing absolutely seamless no pain - and i mean no pain - he injected after numbing the area - it was AWESOME - well as awesome as a root canal could be - i would totally recommend him and his team to anyone - great clean office really nice team - and he is great read more

I have had 3 procedures done with Dr Bui, and he is an amazing dentist. He and his staff are wonderful and very patient, and do everything they can to get you in quickly for a visit. Each time Ive been there I knew what to expect and just knowing that Dr Bui and his team were going to do the job was a huge relief. I highly recommend Dr Bui and his team if ever need a root canal or whatever other services they offer. You will get the highest level of dental and professional care that you deserve. A++++ read more

I saw Dr Bui twice this week for a re-treatment of a root canal 5 years ago that wasn't done properly - by another dentist I will add! Anyway I was petrified because I remembered what my last root canal was like and was terrified of repeating this process again. HOWEVER! Dr Bui made the process totally pain free and as comfortable as you can be during this procedure. Even the numbing injections did not hurt. The root canal itself I felt absolutely nothing and it was less uncomfortable than a visit to the hygienist in my opinion! Dr Bui was very friendly and very helpful with any follow up questions I had - e.g. I had a lot of pain due to my infection before I had my treatment and he took the time to prescribe the right pain meds for me and advised on next steps and healing process. I was back in work after the procedure and am absolutely fine. Couldn't recommend him enough and will 100% be back if I ever need another root canal. read more

Young Bui is exceptional. I had a bad job done on a root canal at another practice and needed emergency treatment. His staff were very accomodating and Dr Bui performed the procedure first thing in the morning. He was calm, patient and very skilled. His follow up care was very very good. Don't waste time looking elsewhere - this guy is the best in NYC. read more

I was referred to Dr Bui by my dentist when I needed a root canal. I had never had and imagined it to be very unpleasant and painful. Dr Bui is phenomenal. I was in and out in less than an hour a half and to be perfectly honest experienced less discomfort than during a routine cleaning. Later that day there was a mild to moderate aching sensation in the area but nothing that a couple of Advil couldn't take care of. I would highly recommend Dr Bui to anyone needing a root canal. read more

So I just recently moved to the city from LA and was looking for specialists in addition to the list of ones my current dentist gave me. Found a few on yelp, and called around. When I got off the phone with Dr. Bui's office's receptionist, I immediately felt like I could trust him and his staff. You know when you get that feeling? I've had 3 root canals performed by my previous endodontist - one time he did a poor poor job. He forgot to put a crown on one of them! Needless to say, had to switch and definitely had to make sure I found someone who knew what he was doing. During my first appointment, Dr. Bui spent time explaining what he recommended we do, listened to any complaints and concerns I had, and even cracked a few jokes to lighten up the atmosphere. He's not just a professional, he's a funny, down-to-earth guy - and I appreciate that quality in my health professionals. Don't you? So if you're looking for a specialist who can take good care of you, Dr. Bui is your guy! read more

Worst Dentist, very unprofessional. He tried to numb me and I told him from the beginning that the numbing takes longer in my system for some reason, and he acknowledged it and told me it was ok, after he injected me, he didn't wait not even 15 minutes and then told me he wouldn't have enough time to do it and he sent me home with half my face numb without any work done. And on top of that he TRIED to charge me for that. read more

Dr. Bui is the da Vinci of Endodontics! I am experiencing the worst dental problems in my life and had a very recent root canal that was awful. Needless to say, I refused to go to the same specialist when I was told I had to get another root canal. However, I was referred to Dr. Bui by my current dentist. The good dentist is accommodating when you are in pain and need an evaluation. He tells you what he is doing, answers all your questions (I always have at least 10) ; knows what he is doing (no eye paralysis!!), uses the correct anesthesia, and gets the job done. And he is funny to boot. And did I mention, the staff is terrific. For Manhattan, his prices are reasonable and not as exorbitant as some other other NY dentists. read more

This guy know what he's doing. He's amazing. Just look at the guys pedigree and tons of experience. His office is up to date and clean. He also responds right away when you send him an email. I woke up in middle of the night in pain. He responded right away and fit.me.in his busy schedule. He also has weekend appointments too. The guy is amazing! read more

This guy is amazing, grew up in the UK, and he has fixed all my bad dentistry (butchers!). I have not had a problem since and I feel more comfortable with my smile and most importantly seeing the dentist again. His injection technique is fantastic, Very calm, tells you what he is doing so you feel comfortable. I was so relaxed having a root canal I nearly fell asleep (no drugs!) I have now started referring friends in NY to go seem him for work to be done. read more

I went to Dr. Bui for a second opinion on a 3D scan I had done with another endodontist a few days earlier. Dr. Bui refused to look at the 3D scan I brought, even though I asked him multiple times. He spent only a couple of minutes with me and was quick to get me out of the exam room. When I asked him if he would speak to my dentist about my case, he said no. He spent as much time charging my credit card (which he did himself) as he did examining me. read more

This was the first time ever having root canal for myself. Believe me, I was terrified. Dr. Bui did fantastic work on me. I was in no pain the next day, and little pain afterwards. Not only Dr. Bui, but his office was very professional.He answered all my questions. I am grateful to him. And highly recommend him to others. He came recommended to me by my dentist. And I am very glad that he did so. read more

Now this is the kind of endodontist you want doing your root canal! And this is the practice you want to use!!! From the moment Martha answers the phone, you feel you are in good hands. Calm and helpful, she works to fit you in if she can. Dr. Bui is amazing and has 'golden hands!' His demeanor is refreshing as he does not rush you, explains everything and works to keep you 'pain free.' His is efficient and truly an expert in his field. I have sadly had several root canals done by Dr. Bui, and would recommend him highly. It is a clean, well run office and his fees are in line with NY pricing. What a great experience always! read more

I was sent to Dr Bui by my regular dentist of 30+ years for a root canal, as it is Dr Bui area of expertise. Dr Bui was the worst dental experience I've ever had. I felt like I was in a bad movie from the '70s. He was arrogant, condescending and rude. There are some other unflattering adjectives I'd employ as well, but I'm trying to keep it professional here. My basic questions received a 2-3 word response, if at all. One of his responses was LITERALLY a snort. He worked on me as if I was an inanimate object instead if a person. When I reacted to his brutish technique with gagging, choking and eventually became unable to breathe- he reacted with annoyance. Told me I was going to damage my tooth! Am I holding the drill? Zero empathy. Never "are you alright? Or need a break?" It was astounding. I actually considered leaving. I would never recommend Dr Bui, unless you are a masochist (with a particular penchant for dental torture). Clearly there are many unresolved underlying issues that account for his behavior, Gawd! read more

Over the course of the past year, I've needed four root canals. After Dr Bui did my first root canal, I knew I would only go back to him if I ever needed another one. Each of my root canals with him has been a very positive, and pain-free experience. And I have the misfortune to have long, calcified canals, which makes the procedure longer, and more challenging for the endodontist. Can't say enough good things about Dr Bui and his team. I'm definitely a chicken when it comes to all things dental, but Dr Bui pretty much cured me of my fears about root canals. He's a true professional, and a great guy. read more

Look no further for the best endodontist in NYC - Dr. Bui is a true expert. He's in a new practice, even better than before - great office at 30 East 40th Stree (646-434-1481), lovely staff, and still with weekend hours. The first time I needed a root canal, I was afraid of the entire process. Dr. Bui and his staff put me at ease, numbed my mouth (the needle didn't even hurt and I don't like needles), fixed the severe problem in about an hour, and I left his office completely relieved - no pain!!! The second time I had to see Dr. Bui, I knew what to expect - pain relief and great results. And I got just that. He is a quintessential professional, with integrity, knowledge, and skill. read more

Dr.Young Bui is the best endodontist on Manhattan island. He knows his work and does it perfectly without any complains. Highly recommend to all people who is looking for endo specialist. read more

Dr Bui answered my cry for help at 7 am on a Saturday morning during the holidays. A botched root canal had failed late on a Friday night causing unbearable blinding pain. I wrote to him in the middle of the night. He saw me at 8 am and by that same night I had a new root canal and was on antibiotics for the infection. Two other dentists have since seen the x-rays of my tooth and each have marveled at his work. He is in a class of his own! He is not only a brilliant endodontist, he is also kind, gentle and knows how to make the process pain free. He deserves 10 stars! read more

I needed emergency root canal on a Thursday afternoon before a holiday weekend. Dr. Bui found a late afternoon time slot for me, took and processed the necessary x-rays, numbed me up, and dug out and filled the root canal with absolutely no pain. And over the four days since, I have experienced virtually no pain. I would totally recommend this top-flight professional and his equally professional staff. I absolutely recommend Dr. Bui to anyone needing root canal or any other endodontic procedure. read more

My regular dentist sent me to Dr. Bui last week for an emergency root canal on a Friday before a holiday weekend. First of all, huge thanks to Dr. Bui and his wonderful team for keeping their office open an extra 2 hours on a FRIDAY BEFORE A HOLIDAY WEEKEND just to see me and take care of my painful 2nd molar (the infamous Tooth #18). Second of all, I really appreciate Dr. Bui's careful, painless work. I had no pain at all in the chair and haven't had anything more than an Advil could handle in the 4 days since. I would absolutely go back to Dr. Bui if I ever needed a root canal again, which of course I hope I never do. He is one of the best practitioners of any art that I hope to never see again, which is why I think it is important to review him on Yelp as he doesn't get many repeat visitors as long as he is doing his job right! read more

This guy is good! His office is high tech and the Dr. is very knowledgeable.

Now I can confirm all the brouhaha (great excitement) regarding Dr. Young Bui! He's awesome!!!! I read the online reviews about him and decided to give him a try. I could not have been more pleased. I had pain on the upper left side of my teeth anything cold that I drank hurt like the dickens. I also couldn't chew any food on that side too. It was very painful. I met him on 9/22/15 for and evaluation that day he scheduled me to come in the next morning 9/23/15 to do a root canal. I can't remember the last time I felt at ease in any dentist chair as much as I did with Dr. Bui. He is very professional, personable, thoughtful and funny. He explains the procedure to you step by step (hand holding). He's gentle and very considerate. I told him I was very afraid to feel any pain. He didn't lecture me. He just numbed me up good! His staff Michelle/Martha were very warm, professional and personable as well. Very clean and state of the art facility. He was also very quick. I had no pain at all. I was actually humming and tapping my fingers to the music. I believe it was soft rock. I went back to work within hour. A few hours later he followed up with a call and asked me how I was doing. I couldn't believe it. Because not many doctors take the time out to personally call you him or her self. Anyhow, he is really good and anyone who's in pain should come to this man! read more

I went to see Dr. Bui on a recommendation of my dentist. The whole experience was fantastic from beginning to end. When I called to make an appointment, the voice on the other end was cheerful and friendly. She alleviated my apprehension by answering all my questions and concerns regarding the visit. When I came in for the treatment, I was greeted by Martha, the person behind the friendly voice. She gave me a tablet to fill out my medical information which was pretty cool. The office was clean and new looking. The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. I did not have to wait long to see Dr. Bui. He came in and introduced himself and asked me about the problem that brought me in. He listened to my concerns and explained to me what a root canal was and what he was going to be doing. The procedure was quick and painless. I did not have any pain afterward either. Dr. Bui called to check up on me that evening which was very nice. I would definitely go back to see Dr. Bui for any future root canal. read more
