I'm a tough critic, fearful of dental work, and I can't say enough good things about my root canal experience at Integrity. Everything went fine during my consultation, but as soon as Dr. John came in at the end of the evaluation to explain the plan to me, I knew I was in the sturdy hands of a consummate professional. On the day of my appointment, they got me in quickly, started the procedure right away, and kept me apprised of the status throughout. It took probably 20-30 minutes, the only pain I felt was the second shot of novocaine before the procedure, and a few hours post-procedure, there is no noticeable pain. If you need a root canal, don't put it off like I did. Schedule an appointment with Dr. John right away... the anticipation was MUCH worse than the procedure itself. Thanks doc! You're running a great business and you have an excellent team. read more

I searched Los Angeles and Orange County for the best Endodontist I could find to help me with a dental matter. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Buoncristiani and his wonderful staff. Dr. Buoncristiani and staff , from the moment you enter their offices to the dental technicians, are very friendly, skilled, caring, and professional to help ensure you receive the best dental services. Was also very impressed with State of the Art equipment, clear communication on services provided and follow-up. I highly recommend Dr. Buoncristiani and his wonderful staff. read more

After my first visit for a consultation I felt comfortable. The staff was polite, friendly and more importantly knowledgeable. I set my appointment and when I arrived the same friendly welcome. Didn't wait long and was brought back. Dr. Otis explained the process and we got started. Aside from the initial shot the entire process was painless. Dr. Otis personally checked on me that evening. After one day, I'm feeling great and pain free. Highly recommend Dr. Otis and his staff. read more

Dr. Otis is an excellent professional doctor. I have done root canal before with other doctors but the difference here is Doctor Otis conduct & skills that made me very comfortable with the process. The ease of the painless process and the confidence with which he and his staff conducted themselves and completed the operation is commendable, compared to my previous experience for similar operation. Health is the most valuable asset to have in life and I hope nobody, including myself, will ever need root canal. However, if needed, I highly recommend Dr. Otis. Thank You. read more

Recently, Dr. Buoncristiani performed a root canal on one of my lower, front teeth. There was no discomfort or pain during the procedure and my recovery was quick. I had been to Dr. Buoncristiani previously, so my expectations were high - and they were exceeded. He is very knowledgeable in this field and during both a consultation prior to the procedure and on the day of the root canal, he provided a thorough explanation of what was causing pain in the area and how it would be treated. Given the small size of the tooth, Dr. Buoncristiani used a very safe and conservative approach that minimized risk to the tooth structure. Dr. Buoncristiani epitomizes what in business I referred to as "The Four Cs": Competence, Confidence, Conviction and Communication. Competence - knowledge and experience - is important; however, it is also important that the information is provided with confidence and conviction. Dr. Buoncristiani communicates easily, solicits questions and perhaps most remarkably, personally called on the evening of the procedure to check if everything was going well. The dental assistants present during the procedure and the office staff members were all friendly, highly professional and engaged, reflecting another business axiom regarding how "The Tone at the Top" drives the culture of an entire organization. The facility is modern as is the equipment used for diagnostic testing and the procedure itself. High power microscopy is used to help assure an effective outcome. Integrity Endodontics is conveniently located at the corner of PCH and Avocado. Parking at the location is not a problem and is not crowded. As noted, this wasn't my first root canal by Dr. Buoncristiani and it is likely not my last, and when the time comes, I will choose this practice without hesitation. read more

Dr. Buoncristinani is great! For a long time I was terrified of going to the dentist. Dr. Buoncristinani has eliminated some of that fear. While I getting a root canal isn't pleasant it was painless. I appreciated that Dr. Buoncristinani explained the entire process beforehand and was willing to answer all of my questions. The day after the root canal I was feeling great! The pain of the infection is so much worse than the actual treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Buoncristinani!! read more

I am so pleased with my emergency root canal experience yesterday. If you're going to have to get tooth surgery, this is your team! Dr. Buoncristiani was not only efficient, thorough and friendly, but his chairside manner cannot be matched. I felt instantly comfortable and in safe, capable hands. Greeted by the lovely office staff, the check in system was seamless and easy. The office is beautifully appointed, calm and welcoming! I was taken care of by Carrie who has the sweetest personality. She reviewed procedures, cost and selected equipment they may be using for my treatment. I love information, so this was wonderful for me! Carrie even offered me a blanket if I was chilly, which was so thoughtful and kind of her. As she prepped the room for my root canal, we chatted and giggled a bit and it made the experience that much more pleasant and calming. Dr. Buoncristiani is so personable and friendly and takes the time to explain the details of the procedure he is about to perform. He would check in with me periodically and make sure I was doing well during my tooth surgery which made me feel well taken care of which is so valuable! His interaction with his assistants as they were working on me had a great dynamic, many exchanges of please and thank you and there was a wonderfully respectful air about the room. The evening phone call follow up by Dr. Buoncristiani is just another example of how Integrity Endodontics is quality and top notch. I absolutely recommend this practice for your endodontic needs. I give them a stellar 5 stars. read more

I was referred to Dr. John Buoncristiani for a root canal consultation following complaints of hot and cold sensitivity. I was DREADING it! I had no good memories of previous root canals, just torturous nightmares and recurrent PTSD. All that for a troublesome tooth up top and way in the back. I told my dentist that I would never have another root canal. She said, "Debby, I've got a guy I can send you to in Corona Del Mar. He can do it without the pain." I took the referral and let it live at the bottom of my purse for 11 weeks and 3 days before I relented. My appointment was scheduled for 12:30PM on a Friday for xrays and a consultation. Dr. B was very personable, kind, and respectful. He shared an informative mini lesson along with a sketched illustration of his procedure. I was offered a same-day time slot (about an hour later) so I had a quick lunch and returned. He told me the anesthesia injection would hurt a bit but nothing else would. He was right!! I used OTC pain meds for 2 days only. I'm on day 5 with NO PAIN, no nightmares, and no dental PTSD.  Dr. B is a savior for dental fraidy cats. A well-deserved shout-out to his awesome, caring office staff. read more

Dr. Buoncristiani is the best! I had a toothache over the weekend and was in so much pain. I called and was able to get in right away. Dr. Buoncristiani and his team are so kind, helpful, efficient, and thorough. The office manager Nora was able to check my insurance and give me estimate on my out of pocket right away, I appreciated knowing what to expect. I was scared I was going to lose my tooth but after the consultation and exam Dr. Buoncristiani was confident he could treat it. I was able to have the treatment immediately following consultation. I was only in the office for a short time and most importantly out of pain quickly! I'm so glad I chose this office, I cannot recommend them enough. Dr. Buoncristiani even checked on me that evening to make sure I was okay! read more

Best Dentist ever! Dr. B truly cares and it shows. I saw him 10 years ago for a root canal and had such a great experience when I was having issues with another tooth I looked him up to get his second opinion. I was so happy I found him because he made me feel so comfortable by explaining all that was going on in simpler terms and what he could do to get my out of pain. Scheduling was a breeze Nora got me in the same day I called a few days later we did the procedure. During the procedure he was calm and had a sense of humor which eased my anxiety. His team has always been professional and friendly too. No one loves going to the dentist but I truly enjoy his office. He even called to check on me later that night. Above and beyond impressed. Highly recommend Dr B. Thank you so much read more

Dr. John and his team is just exceeding amazing. I was terrified of any dental treatment but they erased any concern. My root canal went on very well with efficiency and professionalism. His team is so nice and warm and kept asking about my need and make sure I'm comfortable with any step. Doc is very oriented to details with all new equipment and technology. Very nice environment too! Highly recommend. read more

I am so grateful that my primary dentist referred me to John Buoncristiani and that I decided to make the drive from Long Beach for a root canal at this office. From Nora the manager, to Getsy (and the other dental assistants), to of course Dr. B, I was very impressed at the professionalism, compassion, and immaculate office and treatment rooms, there's no wonder why they have 5 stars! Most thankful to the doctor and the support provided pre and post treatment. Thank you and your team so much! read more

Dr. John Buoncristiani is an extremely confident, efficient and just really an amazing endodontist. I am a Canadian citizen visiting my daughter; one of my teeth had been accidentally injured. Due to fear of major tooth reconstruction and cost, I was reluctant to visit a dentist in CA. Leaving the tooth untreated led to it being severely infected and shaky, too - a very scary point to be in. Also, I did not have dental coverage in the US. Therefore, I had many worries. However, Dr. B and his team solved all of my concerns. He determined that I needed a root canal, which he carried out very well with efficiency and professionalism - and above all, no pain at all. In fact, the same night the tooth was treated, Dr. B. made a phone call checkup to make sure everything was still going well. I totally agree with the point that Dr. Buoncristiani treats not only the tooth but the entire human being. It is very rare to find such excellent doctors as Dr. John Buoncristiani. I highly recommend Dr. B. His staff is courteous, warm and extremely helpful. too. Even the cost of the procedure was much less than the estimated amount. Thank you very much indeed for all your excellent work Dr. John Buoncristiani read more

This review is for my husband, Michael. I found the office staff very welcoming and friendly. Dr. Otis was very caring and knowledgeable with his explanation of my choices of what to do with my situation, a root canal. I would definitely recommend him. He's young, energetic and really cares about you. The office manager was super welcoming and really friendly too. I would go back to see Dr. Otis in a heartbeat, if I needed to. read more

Dr. John Buonchristi has been treating me for several years. Words cannot express enough how amazing he is at performing root canals- his expertise and knowledge is significantly beyond expectations. He has wonderful bedside manner, makes patients feel at ease, and is extremely caring and nurturing for all his patients; this makes the stress of root canals diminish. Dr. Buonchristi is by far the absolute best endodontist! He has completly mastered the art of compassion towards his patients while also being the best endodontist in Orange County. His staff is also very helpful. Thank u Dr. B for everything! read more

I was referred to this provider by my current dentist, and thought I'd drop a few lines. The staff was very friendly and professional, and Dr. Buoncristiani provided a great evaluation and opinion in a way that made sense to me. The appointment time brushed up against an important work meeting for me, and the team worked to get me out in time for me to make that. I'm not hoping for a root canal anytime soon, but if I need it I know where I'm going. Great overall experience! read more

My experience with Integrity Endodontics was without question five star. Dr. Buonocristiani and his staff are warm, welcoming and professional. I was referred by my primary dentist and was able to get in right away for two root canals. The procedure was the best I have ever experienced ( I have had several root canals prior to seeing Dr. Buoncristiani) he walked me through every step..The nurses and Dr. B have the upmost respect for one another and made me feel very much at ease. Nora at the front desk was amazing and I have nothing but good things to say about the entire staff and experience. I highly recommend this office to anyone needing Endodontic care. read more

I had my first root canal this facility. I was very nervous. I'm happy to say that the staff was very caring, the service was good, parking was easy, the procedure was not painful, the doctor called me in the evening to follow through, and I would highly recommend this facility and Dr. Buoncristiani. read more

Dr. Buoncristiani and Nora have been above and beyond accommodating and compassionate. I began experiencing a dull but increasing toothache Sunday evening. On Monday, I went to my dentist where I was told I'll need a root canal and was originally scheduled for Thursday to get it done. However, it quickly became unbearable overnight despite OTC pain meds. I emailed Nora at almost 10 p.m. and I couldn't believe it when she replied two minutes later--after hours! She was so helpful and got me in today (Tuesday) for treatment, even though it's the Dr.'s day off. Dr. Buoncristiani was clear on what to expect, minimized any discomfort, and made the process stress-free. I literally just got finished with the root canal about an hour ago, and so far so good! I can't thank you guys enough. read more

I broke a tooth went in for a crown, that dentist referred me to Integrity. They got me in same day and because I needed antibiotics they scheduled the dreaded root canal the next morning. Dr. Otis and his back up singers truly rock it. My vibe is a bit more alternative rock. Hard to imagine being happy with a root canal, I couldn't handle it right away and they actually had to stop, Dr. Otis was totally understanding and offered to schedule me with an anesthesiologist, but I was able to relax and it was actually pretty uneventful from that point on (which is a good thing). Free m check in, medical records to support staff and Dr. It was impressive, you can tell there is attention to detail. They have earned a return trip to drop off some Sidecar Donuts as a big thanks. read more

I was referred to Dr.Buoncristiani by my dentist..I do recommend him/his office 1000%. Very professional staff.All the staff are very lovely people.And the Dr.Buoncristiani explained my procedure in details and it was very good ..no pain at all.And everything works perfect. I'm glad that I was recommended to him . Do not hesitate to go to Integrity Endodontics.U will be thankful to chose it.(I did root canal) read more

Superb customer service, phenomenal work, extremely gentle, and an all-around excellent experience. I just received my very first root canal so my experience is limited, but I must say that it was the most pleasant and professional experience you can have given the circumstances. The staff is beyond exceptional, friendly and very courteous. The doctor and his team worked as fast as a formula one tire changing team could work, yet were gentle and extremely professional during the whole process. I will 100% recommend to my friends and family Integrity Endodontics for any of their dental work that needs to occur going forward. read more

I was referred to this office by my dentist. He said "everyone loves Dr. Buoncristiani" and I really thought he was saying it just because of the referral relationship. Then I came here to yelp and saw all the 5 stars and got even more skeptical; how can everyone like a dentist so much? Well, I'm here to say -- as someone who has had a phobia of the dentist for years and avoids them to my own oral health detriment-- I had an amazing experience at this office for a root canal. The doctor and staff put me at ease with their gentle and caring beside manner and did a good job of educating about the procedure. I'm so pleased I didn't let my cynicism get the best of me because this truly is a GREAT office. read more

Dr. Buoncristiani has done all of our family's root canals for decades. He is a master at this task, a perfectionist, using state of the art equipment. He is conservative and will not touch your teeth if it is not needed. And he has the most comforting, caring bedside manner you could ever ask for, honest, straight forward and upright. I highly recommend Dr. John Buoncristiani as a great endodontist and person! read more

Thank you so so much for making me feel so comfortable , starting with Stephanie on the phone . I was put at ease right away . Everyone i came in contact with left a good impression on me . Dr Buoncristiani was great. Thank you all for putting me at ease!!!!! read more

I highly recommend Dr John. I am so pleased with the level of care and attention I received from the Doctor and his team. My root canal went very well, no more pain, I'm back to normal! Doctor John is patient and kind, he explains the procedure and eased my anxiety. He is the best! Many thanks read more

I was in the worst pain and not only was I able to be seen that same day I called, but I was treated. Dr. Buoncristiani went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and help try to fix the problem. Not to my did He treat we well, but as he was working on my tooth, he spoke to his staff so nicely. You can tell this Dr really appreciates his staff and that made for the best environment. I can't say enough about my experience but I promise you I will refer everyone I know to go see Dr Buoncristiani read more

Dr Buoncristiani was amazing! From the moment I entered the office I felt my anxiety lessen. The staff were courteous, supportive, and professional. The thought of this oral surgery procedure created a lot of anxiety. I was informed that I would be comfortable and they were true to there word! I was comfortable with NO pain and his expert dental work was appreciated! I highly recommend this office for any dental work needed! read more

I had a horrible experience. The doctor was great and welcoming, but the staff were rude and unprofessional. One of them when she came to explain to me what needs to be done had a tone. In addition, they did not let me go to the front to pay, they asked me for the credit card inside the room, then let me out to get the receipt. They make me feel like I will run away without paying. She directly told me I cannot get out until I give her the credit card to run it first, then I can go out to get the receipt. But beside the payment way, they were really unprofessional, I have never ever had such bad experience. I will never go back. read more

Wow where do I begin. I hate anything related to dental work; however the staff here and the Dr really go above and beyond to squash any fears or discomfort i might have had upon sitting in my chair. i had a root canal done today and I i felt no discomfort during the procedure. Like the Dr says in his about us page he takes the time to really ensure the experience is simple and easy. the environment is clean and welcoming from being greeted from the reception to preparing everything before the procedure with (Carrie) to Dr. B and his staff really made me feel at ease with the work they did and saving my tooth. I'm one of those people that ask what's this do and complains about pain. They explained to me before each procedure they did and not one pinch of pain anywhere. I'm in shock to this moment at the how simple this was. Very modern practice and from the looks of things new instruments and tools. i would recommend anyone that's afraid of dental work to come here. read more

This is one amazing office and staff of Dr. Buoncristiani ! He is truly professional and knowledgeable about his work. He will inform you in detail your procedure and take his time in a gracious manner. I recommend him to everyone and kudos to the friendly staff! read more

This is hands down the best experience I've ever had at a dentist's office. Dr. Buoncristiani and his staff are all so amazing and professional--I specifically want to mention and thank Ruby for going above and beyond when I was initially having issues with my insurance. After the procedure, Dr. Buoncristiani personally called me after hours to make sure I was doing ok, and that bit of compassion has compelled me to write this review. Everyone should go here, because it is so refreshing to see a specialist who not only does an amazing job, but who also personally cares about his patients. I would give this place 100+ stars if I could!!! read more

I went to Dr. Buoncristiani thirty years ago and had a great experience. Returned and found he and his staff as friendly and professional as I remembered. The best endodontist in California. read more

I can not say enough about how impressed I am with Dr. Buoncristiani and his staff! They made the time to fit me in for a very difficult root canal and they were professional, gracious, and very caring throughout my procedure. They took the time both before and after my procedure to explain everything to me in detail, and during the procedure Dr. Buoncristiani made sure I was comfortable throughout. If I could give him more than 5 stars I certainly would, I highly recommend him for any necessary treatments, he is extremely knowledgeable and experienced and very nice to deal with. His office is immaculate and state of the art and his staff is friendly and compassionate as well. His office also followed up with me the next day to be sure I was doing well. I have had no problems or pain since my procedure! read more

Totally agree with the first reviewer (for a second there I almost thought I had written it and already reviewed him myself lol). His assistant Nora is awesome too. Update: he is no longer working at this office and is taking some time off but last I heard he would be starting up again somewhere soon. read more

My dentist told me I needed to go see a specialist for a possible root canal and gave me a referral for a different Dr. I did some research and also looked on yelp for reviews and decided to see Dr. Buoncristiani instead. He was much further than the other referral but I really wanted to see someone that I felt comfortable with. It was totally worth the drive! All of the staff that I came in contact with; the receptionist on the phone, the receptionist when I walked in, George- his assistant, the Doctor and his other assistants and the girl who checked me out... everyone was super helpful and kind. After some tests it turned out I did need a root canal (it was my first). Dr Buoncristiani took time to explain everything and made the whole process comfortable. One thing that especially stood out to me was how well the whole team worked together. They were like a well oiled machine - on top of everything, professional and also friendly with each other.. I was terrified to get a root canal but they made the whole experience pleasant. I highly recommend Integrity Endodontics. read more

My experience with Integrity Endodontics was exceptional! From the moment I walked into the modern, clean office... very relaxing atmosphere. The front desk employees and manager were kind, welcoming and professional. I came in as a walk in emergency patient. They were able to work me in their very busy day. They went above and beyond to show kindness and empathy as I was in a lot of pain. The entire staff I interacted with were accommodating and friendly. Dr. Buoncristiani is an absolute professional and the Endodontist to see, entrusting your smile to the best in the field. In addition to all that he is quite funny too, his down to earth personality allows you to feel very relaxed in his chair. He personally called me the next morning to follow-up on my treatment to ensure I was doing well and indeed not in pain. I'm incredibly grateful for him and his entire staff for raising the bar of excellence and maintaining it. I'm very happy and pain free now. Thank you Dr. Buoncristiani!! read more

My tooth was in pain and in dire need of a root canal, unfortunately my dentist's office is temporarily closed due to the virus. However, they reached out to me and recommended that I see Dr. Buoncristiani if I needed immediate relief. From the moment I arrived at their office, I was put at ease by John and his staff who are all very professional and warm. The procedure was done quickly and with minimal discomfort. I can't recommend Integrity Endodontics highly enough! read more

WOW!! If you need a root canal, do NOT go to anyone else! Not only is Dr. Buoncristiani incredibly skilled and knowledgeable in his field, he is one of the warmest, nicest people I've ever met. He is sincerely caring, making sure you know EXACTLY what to expect and listening to any questions and concerns. His polite, caring, compassionate attitude is mirrored by everyone who works in the office (I loved listening to how all the staff interacts with each other), too, which makes the widely held fear of "going to the dentist" fall by the wayside. Unfortunately/fortunately (LOL) they'll be seeing me again...and both his Mission Viejo and Newport Beach offices are beautiful, adding to the calming atmosphere. read more
