Woodbury Root Canal Dentist
Restoring your dental health with precision and care
Understanding root canal treatment
Contrary to popular belief, this treatment is not painful. In fact, it is meant to alleviate the pain caused by infection. Without proper treatment, you risk severe infection, swelling, bone loss, and potential tooth loss. Preserving your natural teeth through root canal therapy is typically the best course of action for maintaining overall oral function and health.
Our Unique Approach
Dr. Yoo utilizes modern minimally invasive techniques to reduce discomfort, while the use of advanced imaging such as CBCT scans ensures precise diagnosis and treatment. This technology allows us to detect even the most complex dental issues that could otherwise go unnoticed with traditional methods.
We are committed to clear and transparent communication, helping you understand each step of your treatment plan. You can trust that we’ll keep you fully informed and comfortable throughout the process.
What to expect during your root canal treatment
- A comprehensive examination and consultation with Dr. Yoo.
- State-of-the-art digital imaging (including CBCT scans) to ensure precise diagnosis.
- A detailed discussion of your treatment plan, where we walk you through every step of the process.
- A comfortable, efficient root canal procedure using the latest technology and techniques. This procedure generally takes 30-90 minutes depending on the case’s complexity.
- Clear post-treatment care instructions, with follow-up appointments if needed to answer your questions or concerns.
Advanced technology:
How CBCT enhances diagnosis
We believe in the power of state-of-the-art technology. The CBCT scan (cone beam computed tomography) provides a three-dimensional view of the tooth and surrounding bone structures, which greatly improves diagnostic accuracy. This advanced imaging allows us to detect complications like hidden canals or fractures, contributing to better treatment outcomes. With CBCT, we can determine the best approach to your care while minimizing unnecessary procedures.

I’m nervous about the procedure. What are my options?
I had my very first root canal done by Dr. Yoo. I was extremely nervous after hearing some horror stories about root canals. All I can say is wow this doctor was fast and efficient during this procedure. I had pain before the root canal and after the pain was literally GONE! No soreness, no sensitivity, no swelling… I was amazed. He and his assistant worked very well together to speed the entire process up. I highly recommend this doctor.

From the moment I arrived, they were courteous and helpful. Dr. Yoo is amazing, he explained the procedure and proceeded to complete the best Root Canal I've ever experienced. Dr. Yoo was thorough and made sure I was comfortable. The entire team was very professional but friendly. Excellent place and I will recommend it to my friends and family.

So painless and comfortable that I fell asleep during a procedure! Legit-dreaming and all. This practice was able to conduct an emergency root canal on a tooth that already had a crown from a prior root canal. They are extremely professional and very state-of-the-art. Microscope, scans, and all kinds of science that gets you fixed up and back up and running.

Outstanding Dentist! I was in need of a root canal. The process of scheduling an appointment was painless. Dr. Yoo was great at explaining the process and options to my situation. He was very thorough and took the time to get it right. I was very glad that he was able to save my tooth. He has great bedside manners during and after the procedure. He even personally called me the next day to check in (Most doctors let the front office take care of this). He goes the extra mile- and it shows. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Yoo to friends and family.

I was in tremendous pain in one of my teeth. The pain was so much, my brain couldn’t even process it. I called my dentist and he recommended this place. Even though it was super last minute the receptionist (thank you so much!!!) managed to get Doctor Yoo on the phone. As soon as he realized how much pain I was in he told me to come in.
Once I came in, they took me right away. Super professional, clean, friendly, efficacious - did an amazing job!!!!! And most importantly very human, treating me with care.
Thank you to the entire office team, Dr Yoo and Dr. Yoo’s assistant - you guys make a difference in the world ❤️.

The treatment and service by the entire staff and especially Dr. Yoo was excellent. I would without reservation highly recommend him for anyone needing endodontic dental services. He was especially thorough with the explanation of what procedure he was about to perform but was very precise and thoughtful with his call the morning following the treatment to check on my condition.
