I've had several root canals in the past and I must say today's with Dr Tengonciang was the best ever! From the very beginning he and his staff were so friendly and welcoming that I felt right at home. From my initial consultation with Dr. Tengonciang to today's actual RCT procedure I was so at ease. I felt no pain and was very relaxed and calm during it all. Dr Tengonciang was so gentle and explained everything what a blessing. I thank God for him and his staff and would recommend them to anyone! Thank you all so much. read more

Dr. Tengonciang and his staff made the fear of getting my first root canal (and while pregnant) melt away. The office is beautifully appointed and so calming. Dr. T is thorough in his treatment and explained the process along the way to ease my fears. He is an excellent doctor and communicator. I highly recommend his practice to anyone with needs in endodontics. read more

After having a root canal at this office, I began experiencing severe pain two days later and called their office, but no one called me back. I called again the next morning and was told by the receptionist that she would talk to Dr. Tengonciang and that I probably needed a Prednisone Pack. Although she said she would call me back to let me know the prescription had been called in, once again she never called me back. By then, the pain was so severe, I had to be taken to the Scripps Emergency Hospital. The pain never let up, and after weeks without so much as being able to sleep, I was referred to another endodontist, Dr. Guess, who performed the evaluation and determined the root canal Dr. Tengonciang performed was inadequate. To rule out any gum issues, I met with another gum disease doctor, who said it was clearly the tooth. Dr. Guess then performed another root canal, which confirmed that the previous root canal Dr. Tengonciang performed on me was inadequate and incomplete. He had not drilled to the bottom of the canal nor the sides where the infection was. Hence, rather than alleviating the pain, the procedure merely served to inflame it and create even greater irritation and pain. For six months, I was barely able to function, let alone perform my work and daily activities. The root canal performed by the last endodontist resolved the issue. I have since left phone calls and written letters to Dr. Tengonciang to relay my experience and request a refund, since I had to spend an additional $2,000 to resolve the damage he did to me. He has never called me back nor responded to my letters. My recommendation would be to avoid this doctor at all costs. He is inexperienced, unprofessional and extremely uncaring. read more

Dr. Jayson and his crew are very caring and professional. I came in for the first time for a root canal this week and was treated like royalty. They're pros, and know what they are doing and are very efficient, and the appointment only took an hour. Usually, going to the dentist is stressful and traumatic for me, but everything just flowed and I remained relaxed throughout the appointment. Thank you, I won't ever dread a root canal again! read more

I was referred to Dr. T. through my dentist for consultation on a tooth that had a previous root canal 20 years ago. I'm a very nervous dental patient, Dr. T. proved to be the most gentle Endodontist. He kept me informed throughout the procedure. Dr. T. and his assistant work beautifully together. The office staff are friendly and helpful. The office in whole is a clean, friendly environment. I highly recommend Dr. T. for any Endodontic procedures. I wish I could give higher than 5 stars. Thank you Dr. T. and team!! Robin Peters Forsyth read more

First, just Thank You. Thank You for a clean dental office; the complimentary beverages in the waiting area. It's the little things that give first timers like myself the "welcome" feeling. The front desk receptionist was kind and helpful in getting checked in. Unfortunately, an emergency brought me in. I experienced some trauma to the mouth; top teeth went down into bottom lip. I was stitched up in the lip. Thank God no teeth were broken. For at least four days following one front tooth went numb, then came to, but I felt pressure. Initial family dentistry said tooth was probably in shock due to trauma. He referred me to Endodontist as they can get a more in depth look at what's happening under the gums and in the root of my tooth. Upon research I chose Dr. Tengonciang for my Endodontics need. I was called back to the treatment room. X-rays were taken, thoroughly. Thank You to Dr's assistant. She then released me to the doctor. He also did a thorough examination of the traumatized tooth; excellent bedside manner; very patient and answered all my questions and concerns; all x-rays came back clear for now. And nerve tests came back great. In my situation, as the doctor said, "only time will tell" if the tooth will continue to be okay. Thank You Doctor for your amazing work!!! First YELP review... ever! And I hope it helps the next person make an educated decision with the peace of mind knowing you are in good hands. Blessings! read more

If i could give 10 stars i would... I've had a bad experience with root a canal with another dentist not an Endo, the VA, referred me here and this was the smoothest, most comfortable root canals I've ever gotten done. Dr. T is LEGIT... very knowledgeable, give updates as he's working.. his bed side manners are the best. Very clean office, all the staff were profesional read more

Loved my experience with Dr. Tengonciang and his faculty. All were very nice and followed proper COVID regulations. As a first time patient, I automatically felt safe and well taken care of. The Doc explained what he was doing as he was conducting the dental procedure, which I very much appreciated. If I ever need anymore dental work, I will definitely come back again. read more

Came in for a root canal and come to find out I didn't need one. Honest, upfront and clear in explaining options on treatments. I highly recommend him and his practice. read more

I came to get a tooth worked on that has been very painful. He assured me the procedure would be very straightforward & took the time to explain what steps would happen during my root canal procedure. The staff are super friendly & Adriana was great at explaining my insurance benefits. read more

Absolutely amazing experience. From the front receptionist (Summer) to Dr. Jayson and his team. Welcoming. Friendly. Approachable. Knowledgeable of what's happening. What's about to happen. Front start to finish with his work. My insurance gave the office a bit of a push back however Summer handled it like a pro and all is well. I felt good in what I paid out of pocket. Will go back again and recommend you all to give this office a call for your dental work. read more

Dr. Jayson is a highly skilled and compassionate doctor. I was sent on an emergency and he made time for me and stayed late. He made sure that I was constantly comfortable through out the procedure which he performed completely and perfectly. His office staff are amazing as well. The afternoon I came, the assistant was caring and helpful. I had some questions afterwards and discomfort and I contacted the office on a Sunday as I was flying Monday morning for an unexpected funeral, and Dr. Jayson called me back immediately and ordered the medication I needed. While heading to the airport, I had a few questions and another assistant took the time to speak with me on the phone and answer all my questions as he was in surgery. She was kind and compassionate with my situation as well as knowledgable. I highly recommend Dr. Jayson and his team. read more

The best endodontist I have been to and I have had 8 root canals. He performed 3 of these procedures. I experienced absolutely no pain whatsoever and his expertise was very apparent. The procedures were quick and painless and I highly recommend him for his professionalism and expertise. read more

I was very nervous about having my first root canal but needn't have been. After consultation, xrays and the calming room with a view the procedure was painless and no problems afterwards. I would highly recommend Dr. Jayson. read more

A bit ago my crown popped out (only 2 years old) and much to my horror I was told I needed a root canal. I was in no pain but had an abscess and knew the area wasn't doing so well, obviously it was infected. I had just moved to San Diego so my new dentist did the diagnosis and recommended Dr. Tengochiang. I went in for the consultation and then scheduled the actual procedure. The doctor and staff were incredibly professional so I felt pretty at ease, even though I have heard that they are a pretty intense procedure. Yesterday I went in for the root canal and kind of nervously got settled in. The doctor was very upfront and walked me through the procedure as he went along. I sat there and watched an assortment of tools and devices go into my mouth and was surprised at how painless it was and how I wasn't nervous or agitated. There were definitely some interesting sensations but no pain and since then I have not been uncomfortable or in pain. The area is a little bit tender but I can easily chew and I am not distracted in any way. He put in a temporary covering of sorts that is very comfortable and smooth. When I had the temporary covering for the crown it was kind of rough and pushed into the next tooth over causing discomfort, so I was happy that I am not having to deal with that. Before I got the procedure I had tried to analyze the pain and discomfort I was facing and can honestly say it was no more uncomfortable or painful that getting your eyelashes done. Which is pretty insane. I am very glad I paid the extra amount to have a specialist see to this issue, I am sure it will prove to be worth every penny. read more

Such a great experience with Dr. Tengonciang and his office! The staff was very welcoming. Dr. Tudor recommended Dr. Tengonciang since I needed an emergency root canal procedure due to a painful infection. Dr. Tengonciang was able to see me right away. He did an amazing job with his assistant. I have a fear of dental procedures and was amazed on how smooth it went. I was educated on every step of the way. Highly recommend! Thank you again!! I am very grateful for your help and assistance! read more

I expected a lot more pain and discomfort during my root canal, but was surprised how easy it was Dr Tengonciang was amazing, his staff was friendly and very helpful. Thanks so much to this amazing team for a successful surgery!!! read more

After about a week and a half of pure agony with a pesky filling, Adriana and Dr Tengonciang's team took in this desperate patient immediately with open, compassionate arms. Dr Jayson's work is gentle and precise - this little chicken didn't feel a thing!! BONUS- you get a great view of the bay to go with it all!! read more

Jayson was silky smooth. Gentle hands and answered every question I had so I felt comfortable with the work he was performing. Thanks Jayson. Robert San Diego read more

Thank you Dr. Tengociang! I had a root canal that was done some years back (not by Dr. Tengociang) It started to fail and got infected...it wasn't pretty. My regular dentist took one look at it and said I needed it pulled and/or pulled and replaced with an implant- which was going to cost me a little under 4K!! OUCH!! I went to Dr. Tengociang for a second opinion. And thank God I did. To make a long story short, he was able to save my tooth and forward 3weeks later, no infection and no pain! Happy camper :) read more

It's like I didn't have a root canal yesterday! But I did, by Dr. Tengonciang. I've had a handful of them in my life. Only sought a new endodontist because my wonderful, previous one of 20 years retired. I truly did not know a root canal could be so smooth and easy until seeing Dr. Tengonciang. He and his assistant, Christine, are both unusually gentle. I can't imagine anyone having a more comfortable dental procedure than one performed by this doctor. I liked that he also told me the different steps of the procedure as he did them. I appreciate having a fuller understanding of what's involved. Courtney at the front desk is poised, supportive, warm and funny. I was treated so nicely by everyone. This office is a TREASURE! Also, if I need a root canal sometime when I don't have insurance, their out-of-pocket costs are very reasonable. read more

I was referred to Dr. Tengonciang by my dentist and am very happy. My first ever root canal treatment went without a scratch: Receptionist Courtney is very sweet. She greeted me with a great smile when I came in and helped me set up all necessary paperwork. Dr. Tengonciang and his assistant did a superb job. He initially educated me on the process, showed me what he intended to do and began working. I did not feel any pain. The entire procedure was easy, smooth and professional. At the end Dr. showed me an xray of the tooth and explained what was done. I highly recommend them to anybody who needs dental treatment. read more

Highly, highly recommend Dr. Tengonciang. I was treated this morning for an emergency root canal. I was in so much pain my general dentist called Dr.Tengonciang's office and they squeezed me in. (On a Friday, valentines day, and a half working day). I was so grateful. I arrived and Courtney was not only very friendly but beautiful. She answered my questions and made me feel very comfortable. The doctor and his assistant were equally impressive. I could have taken a nap through the root canal. There was such great instruction and gentle care I could have dozed off. This has been the best experience I have ever encountered. Thank you to these fabulous people and the great work you provided. I hope I won't be back but if I do I know I am in good hands. I will refer everyone I know!!!! THANK YOU! L. Barton read more

I was referred to Dr. Tengonciang by my regular dentist. I had tooth pain for months and after all other options, my dentist determined I needed a root canal. I am not a fan of dentists, or any doctor's offices, really. I have always heard horror stories about root canals but I am happy to say that my root canal process (that I had done today!) went so smoothly. Dr. T & team were super friendly, professional, and really worked to put me at ease. The doctor was great at explaining everything, went over my before & after xrays with me and let me know exactly what he was doing and why. After just a few hours, my tooth already feels SO much better. Hopefully, I won't need to visit this office any time soon, but if & when I do, I know I will feel comfortable with Dr. Tengonciang. read more

This is embarrassing to admit on Yelp, but I had a root canal done on my front tooth years ago by a different dentist, and unfortunately, the tooth started to darken and discolor as it tends to happen gradually over time. I looked into internal bleaching as it bleaches the tooth from the inside (different from external bleaching which treats discolored teeth due to coffee, tea, smoking etc). I was skeptical about the process since I wasn't sure what the end results would be, but I decided to give Dr. Tengonciang a try since the reviews rave about his professionalism. And boy, was I glad I did! Courtney, the receptionist, was friendly and explained the costs and follow-ups very clearly. There was no mystery fee or unexpected charges. As for Dr. Tengociang, he was also thorough in his explanation of the process and follow-up procedure. The procedure started with a rubber cover isolating the tooth he would be working on, so that the bleach did not get everywhere. He was constantly checking to make sure I was comfortable and didn't feel any pain or discomfort. The doctor offered anesthesia, but I opted for no anesthesia since it was optional. He drilled a hole in the back of the tooth, applied the bleach, and covered it with a temporary filling - all painless! He explained that if I wasn't satisfied with the color, I could come back for multiple touch-ups free of charge until I was satisfied with the color. I didn't see results until the 3rd or 4th day post-treatment. I came back for one more session because I wanted the tooth to be lighter and I received the same treatment and professionalism every time I went in. I loved loved LOVED my experience here and my only regret is that I wish I had come in sooner. I highly recommend Dr. Tengociang if you are looking for internal bleaching as I am completely satisfied with the service I received from beginning to end! read more

First of all I wish I could give them 10 stars!! I have known I needed a root canal for over 6 months but was extremely nervous about the procedure. From the moment I called to make my appointment, Courtney was friendly, knowledgeable and eased my anxiety. The office is very nice and conveniently located. Dr. Tengonciang and his assistant, Christine made me feel very comfortable. He explained everything he was going to do, went over what I could expect during the procedure and after. As for the actual root canal, I can honestly say it was completely pain free. It seems unbelievable but it is true. The entire procedure took about an hour and I was not uncomfortable at all. It's been 24 hours since my procedure and I've had no pain. Just a little tenderness when I chew but that is it. Now I have to go to my regular dentist to have a crown on the tooth. This was the best experience I have ever had at a dental office. I am mad at myself for waiting so long to get this done. I highly recommend Dr. Tengonciang and his entire staff. read more

Dr. T and his staff are exceptional! Everyone is very professional, very friendly and provide excellent service. Dr. T has a very gentle touch and after sitting in his chair for 2 treatments, I can say that I have not felt any pain or discomfort. Amazing! I would definitely recommend him for anyone that is requiring root canal work! read more

PROFESSIONAL! Dr. Tengociang will NOT do something if you don't need it. He takes his time to explain the process and why he should or shouldn't do a root canal. His first priority is to save the tooth and have it as natural as possible. The staff is very polite and make you feel calm. Definitely recommend this place, even for young kids! read more

A Jayson Tengonciang, DMD - Endodontists Near Me - San Diego, California

Staff was amazing. Friendly and ready to answer all my questions. Dr. T was a delight under the circumstances. He was friendly, patient and knew what he was doing and explained it as he was going along. read more

I was referred to Dr. Tengonciang for a possible root canal. The appointment was very easy to make through his website. The receptionist quickly responded, and gave me an appointment in 2 days day. I also received a new patient packet to fill out before I came. On my day of the appointment I was warmly received and within 5 minutes was seated in the exam room. The staff and Dr. Tengonciang were very courteous and helpful. After CT scan and X-rays of the troublesome tooth, he quickly determined I did need a root canal procedure. He explained thoroughly what the procedure was. I agreed to proceed. He and his staff performed the procedure gently and professionally guiding me through each part of the procedure. The anesthesia was painless, as was the procedure. Everything was done with the utmost care an professionalism. I highly recommend Dr. Tengonciang and his staff for any endodonic procedure. He uses the latest technology and equipment which made this root-canal much simpler and exact. A wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

the first time my dentist sent me, it turned out I didn't need a root canal, but this week was different - a crown replacement turned out to need a root canal first - and it was painless. One trip, in and out! The best part is how Dr. T explains everything, step by step, so there are no surprises. As a teacher, I appreciated this, but my anxiety appreciated him more. read more

This was my first root canal, having avoided such procedures for over five decades. Approached the event with anxiety and dread, neither of which were necessary or warranted. Dr. T and his staff are a well-oiled machine; organized, efficient, and most of all, kind. There was no pain, explanations of every step were given to me, and I admit to closing my eyes and kind of drifting off by the end. Wonderful experience, for such a thing! read more

Was told my visit was covered and a month later I received a bill. This is irresponsible of office and they need to verify coverage before telling g patients ...careful read more

Dr. Tengonciang, Courtney and Christine are amazing. Extremely professional, super courteous and made the whole root canal experience easy and stress free. They pretty much have everything to make your experience as pleasant as possible. They offer blankets, neck pillows, room temp or cold water, array of magazines and earphones to listen to music. Dr. took his time and explained every step of the process. Christine assisted him and helped me feel at ease. Courtney made sure I understood and I was financially comfortable with cost and payment plans. Amazing!!!! Definitely coming back when I need future treatment in their specialty. read more

Very communicative and thorough, Dr. T was definitely the right choice for re-doing my root canal. Everyone from his assistant (gentle and accommodating) to Quinn at the front desk (funny, kind and so very helpful with any and all information you may need even after your visit), I felt and feel very valued as a patient. I hope I'll never need another root canal but if I do, it'll be a no-brainer as to who I'll go to. read more

First I'll start by saying I had to dig up my old Yelp account information JUST TO POST THIS REVIEW. But Dr. Tengonciang and his staff definitely deserve this. Going into this I've NEVER had a root canal and got 11 different stories from family and friends varying from torture to a trip to the DMV. I'm happy to say they were all wrong! Courtney greeted me and totally set me at ease from the moment I walked into the office. Cindy was so friendly, I forgot at this point that I was in there for some serious work. Then Dr. T walked in and introduced himself as "Jayson." Big points for the first-name basis there. Then we got down to business and, well, I can't really tell you much about the procedure itself. I fell asleep about 3 times and only woke up when Dr. T or Cindy were going along through the process. Before I knew it, they were done and I was on my way. NO PAIN AT ALL! Let me say that again, NO PAIN, NOTHING! The major root canal surgery was done and it was such a positive experience, I'm typing this up right now. If you need to get work done, by all means give the business to his office. You won't regret you did!!! I promise! They are top notch and we're so lucky to have him here in Clairemont! read more

I was referred to Dr Tengonciang by my dentist. I've had root canals in the past and I was not looking forward to having another one. Entering the office I was immediately at ease when I was greeted by Courtney at the front desk. She is pleasant and professional. She even had a print out of my insurance coverage and breakdown of benefits. How awesome Is that? Not to mention that they squeezed me in the same day my dentist referred me. Dr. Tengonciang was great. He explained everything he was doing as the procedure went along. He even took the time to show me my X-rays and explain further. Christine was great also. She made sure I was as comfortable as possible. If I am ever in need of another root canal, this is that place I will for sure be going to. Thank you for your great patient care and outstanding customer service. read more

Had the most amazing root canal last week. Courtney explained all my insurance benefits and was so amazing explaining the procedure to me, and was so pretty:) dr t and Cindy were very gentle. I feel asleep during the procedure and woke my self up snoring:)) I would would tell anybody to see dr t!! read more

Dr. Tengonciang recently saved a tooth that another Endodontist told me to pull. He was gentle, the office staff were really professional and yet warm and friendly people. The office was clean and yet had friendly decor so that it was a relaxing environment. When he was working on my tooth he would let me know what he was going to do so there was no sudden surprises between transitional modes of working. He and his staff have calming personalities and was able to put me at ease. I am so glad that I was referred to this Doctor by my dentist. I have been telling my friends how good he was. Now I am Yelping it! read more
