Grace T Chu, DMD PA

So I was a root canal virgin & for the first timer, I am very happy my experience with Dr. Chu.
They open at 7am for the surgery which I thought a good idea.
I had my surgery yesterday. After the surgery, root canal isn’t just root canal but it is a real surgery.
I was in there for 3.5 hrs to get my f-​up tooth by Mss-​up dentists.
Well, consider countless time numbing shots in my mouth, the shots by Dr. Chu’s was little painful. But again that pain last 1sec than disappeared. It could be the location. She had to give me a shot under the mouth where no skin to wiggle for u to not feel the shot.
My biggest compliment to her is check twice & confirm twice profession attitude. She explained to me through out the surgery what she is doing & what she is about to do. Of course she answered all my questions before she started. During the surgery she told me she can only see 3 roots. Then towards end she was checking again to make sure it is 3roots & there is nothing hidden. Thank God she did that she found my 4^th root. Later on she showed me how my roots are shaped and boy, looks like they wanted to go their separate way. She said my roots are unique because of that. She was using special equipment to find my crazy roots & if it was just general dentist who does root canal, he/​she wouldn’t find my 4^th hidden b-​root!
She was very professional, informative & great bedside manner. Don’t forget she was really good. Can u imagine u falling a sleep during root canal? Well, I did! TWICE! Wonder she knew… Haha
She reminded me to take some Tylenol for inflammation with some food. She even offered a yogurt from the office. Good thing was I had a big breakfast before the surgery.
I walked out of the office feeling well & confident she did an amazing job!
You know I actually thought this. I don’t get it why root canal is so expensive. But after my experience, it is a big deal & I can’t complaint about the cost. Yes, just like everyone wish it is little cheaper but Dr. Grace showed me that it justifies the work she did is worth my money.
I move around a lot. Finding a good doctor & dentist is a blessing. I know experiences can be different but picky as I am, difficult as I am, I can totally recommend Dr Chu to friends.
Dr Chu calls u after the surgery to make sure u r okay which I thought that was an extra kindness from a doctor. June from the office is very kind & caring lady. She called me today to make sure I am ok since I didn’t talk to Dr. Chu yesterday after the surgery.
I explained to her «I am really happy & glad everything is fine. Dr. Chu did a great job. Even so, I would like to see her once in a blue moon.»

Dr. Chu is amazing! I had an infected tooth/​bone from a poorly done root canal (as the previous dentist missed a 5^th root that is commonly seen in the Asian population). Another dentist told me I need to have the bone removed and get a tooth implant (I have heard scary things about failed implants). Thank goodness I met with Dr. Chu who explained everything in detail and that we should try to save the tooth and she will redo the root canal. She also tells you at every step during the procedure what she is doing. She was always available when I was uncomfortable and needed pain medication, always so patient and answered my numerous questions. At my follow up appointment months later, the infected bone was growing back and I did not need a tooth implant. I am so glad I found Dr. Chu who saved my tooth!
Not too long after I needed another root canal in a different tooth. I immediately went to Dr. Chu for this and again she did an awesome job. So if you need a root canal, Dr. Chu is the only person you should see to ensure a perfectly done root canal and save your tooth. I have since moved out of the area, but if I ever need another one, I will fly back to Dallas just to see her.
