Apex Endodontics

I cannot say enough about Dr. Lin and his office staff. First let me start off by saying I am not one to go to the dentist every 6 months for my check ups. I have huge fear of the dentist. So much so it took me 10 yrs to get to one. After seeming my general dentist she let me know I’d have to have two root canals but she was going to send me to a specialist.
Going into my appointment today. I was so nervous I felt my anxiety start to kick in. I even had a nightmare that Dr. Lin messed up my tooth lol. Now that the procedure is over I’m so happy I was referred to him. He is an amazing Endo Doctor.
The appt starts off with Dr. Lin numbing you. Once you’re perfectly numb Dr. Lin places something in your mouth I forget what it’s called but it helps so you don’t have to hold your mouth open for whatever time it takes him to do the root canal. Than he places a «dental dam» on you and it’ll only expose the tooth that needs a root canal. I actually liked having the «dental dam» there. I felt like I could breath and swallow my saliva better.
Than Dr. Lin begins the root canal. You hear all the drilling and the cleaning. I even smelled bleach when he was cleaning out my tooth. He gets an X-​Ray before he begins to fill your tooth up just to make sure it’s shaped properly. He finishes shaping the tooth and voila the root canal is complete.
Rest assured you’re in GREAT hands when you come to Dr. Lin’s office.

I thought I needed root canal on two molars but after examination, Dr Andy Lin found the problematic molar and said I only needed one root canal — not two. My biggest fear was pain from the anesthetic injections. I felt absolutely no pain, not even a pinch. Dr Lin was very gentle, patient, and thorough. He explained what he was going to do and kept me posted throughout the process which greatly eased my tensions and take away the unknown. Dr Lin was very conscious of his patients’ comfort. I never felt any pain afterward or experience any inflammation after the anesthetic was gone. Dr Andy Lin prescribed pain killer medicine but I didn’t really need to take it. If you’re looking for a caring, gentle hands (no pain), patient, thorough, kind endodontic, go see Dr Andy Lin. Dr Lin’s assistance and front desk staff were also very nice and courteous.

I had a referral to one endodontist prior to coming to this office, and did not feel comfortable there. The endodontist there did not answer all my questions and hastily told me I needed to get a root canal without proper explanation. I’ve never had a root canal before so this definitely made me nervous. I knew I needed to find another endodontist after this initial consultation.
After doing some research for an endodontist nearby, I stumbled upon this office and immediately requested a referral for a consultation. I am extremely happy with my choice in coming here!
Dr. Lin was very attentive in providing you with details on what is going on with your tooth and the work he is doing. He answers every questions thoroughly and makes you feel comfortable in asking the questions. After all the work is done, he carefully inspects his work and follow up to make sure that everything went well. His team is also very friendly and professional. Office is well kept and appears very clean. And… there is never a long wait! I had a great experience here… and I never ever say that about any dentists or specialists who inspect my teeth.
I believe Apex has a location in Anaheim. I have not been there, but I can only assume the experience is just as great with Dr. Lin and his staff. Highly recommended for all your endodontic needs.
