Ralan Wong, DDS, MS - San Francisco Endodontics

Ralan Wong, DDS, MS - San Francisco Endodontics is a specialized practice that has been focusing on delivering top-quality root canal procedures since 2004. Root canals, which are common and safe procedures, aim to treat the inside of the tooth, specifically the pulp, which contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.

Endodontic treatment becomes necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected due to various reasons such as deep decay, dental procedures, or trauma to the tooth. While general dentists can perform endodontic procedures, endodontists like Dr. Ralan Wong, DDS, MS, who have received specialized training, excel in routine as well as complex endodontic treatments.

During the procedure, the endodontist removes the infected pulp, cleans and shapes the inner tooth, then seals the space before restoring it with a crown or other restoration. This process not only alleviates pain and swelling but also ensures the tooth's longevity and functionality, saving it from extraction and preserving the patient's smile.
