Why you should consider us?

When Root Canal Therapy is indicated, please choose an Endodontist for your needs. There are great endodontists all around but we have narrowed it down to what makes The Endodontic Center of Pleasanton unique if you consider us. We are not a large corporate practice. Dr. Lauren Phan started this practice from the ground up in 2006. Her intention was to be a part of this dental community starting with her relationships going door to door to meet every dental professional from the front teams, the back teams, and the dentists. This was her way to ensure your trust in our care. We want to be a part of your dental community. We want you to be comfortable in reassuring your patients who they will be seeing for endodontic care.

Consider our office an extension of your practice. When you refer your patients to us, you can trust that they are in good hands with our doctors. Our goal is to provide your patients with the finest endodontic treatment available anywhere from start to finish.  We understand that dentistry is multi-disciplinary and see the greater picture to treatment planning. We respect your planning approach and help facilitate making treatment choices that are in your patient’s best interest and the best interest of his/her dental health. We are great communicators. We are organized. We are efficient. We are your partner in dental care.

We pride ourselves on a careful diagnosis. We take the time to get to the root of the problem and, if an endodontic treatment is not necessary, then the patient will not receive one. Simple as that. Cone beam 3-D evaluation specifically set up for endodontic evaluation is available in-house and utilized when indicated.  Our facility has a dedicated space just for CBCT. We take the time to explain to the patient what the treatment entails and why we are going through with that particular treatment. We also discuss their options. We pride ourselves on being TRANSPARENT with finances, scheduling, and expectations.We are very detailed. Patients are encouraged to ask any questions they might have and, after our talk, we hope the patient feels a lot less apprehensive about the treatment proposed and know that they have a choice. We are precise and personable.

We utilize the dental operating microscope at every stage of treatment. The microscope is invaluable to our practice. The endodontists were academically trained with the surgical operating microscope for all nonsurgical and surgical cases. The surgical microscope allows the endodontists to visualize minute details of a tooth anatomy and is absolutely necessary for quality treatment and a predictable outcome on all teeth, whether it be an anterior tooth or a wisdom tooth. Once you see the details of the tooth anatomy under the microscope, you will appreciate the complexity of the canal system and all the steps to thoroughly treat the system. We pay attention to detail with patience and determination.

Our office is equipped with the finest technology and materials needed to provide optimal endodontic care, whether it be a routine root canal, a complex case, a surgical procedure, repairing unfortunate mishaps, or even placing a post build-up. We understand and critique the “latest and the greatest” that technology has to offer based on long term evidence before transitioning it to our patients. Our practice utilizes digital radiography, in-house CBCT, microscopic visualization of teeth, rotary systems, sonic vibration of irrigants, negative apical pressure irrigation, ultrasonic instrumentation, multiple root repair materials, multiple restorative materials, and so on. We are committed to staying abreast in the technology and modalities available to preserve your teeth. Besides, the best implant is your own tooth!
