I'm a bit tardy on this review, but I definitely want to share my experience. First root canal. Was in terrible pain. Dr. Jung was able to see me on short notice and was simply amazing. It was a completely painless procedure and Dr. Jung was patient, informative and gentle. I couldn't ask for a better experience, especially in light of the terrible pain I was in. Thank you Dr. Jung! read more

I really enjoyed my experience here. I had an infection of a root canal from another location but these guys made it easy to treat. From getting paperwork done online and at the office to getting options explained to me, the office was easy to work with. And Dr K was the best as he explained what was happening each step of the way. The root canal didn't hurt and the next day I already feel much better. read more

My dentist informed I would need a root canal that was complex in nature. After reading Sunny Hills Endo reviews I decided to call. The associate I spoke with was very knowledgeable in answering all my questions and booked my consultation with Dr. Kawilarang. Dr. K put my mind at ease by explaining why the root canal was complex but shared how he could help. Dr. K has a steady, calming presence. I felt completely comfortable undergoing the procedure with him and his assistant Rocio. The root canal treatment was a success. I was surprised how calm I felt, I even fell asleep for a moment. I didn't experience any pain during or after and am very happy with the outcome read more

Had a difficult root canal, 1 day later no pain! Dr. Was absolutely amazing, informative, was perfect in pain management! Can't recommend them enough...thank you Sunny Hills read more

My experience with Sunny Hills Endo was nothing less than perfect from start to finish! Dr. K was confident, thorough, and his way with me put me at ease the entire time as I experienced my very first Root Canal. I highly recommend Sunny Hills Endodontics and Dr. Jeffrey Kiwalarang! read more

Went to see Dr Chen after having persistent toothache for almost 2 months after a root canal/crown. After having CT scan done, it appeared that the general dentist who did the root canal likely missed one of the canals, allowing the pain to fester. After a very gentle and meticulous root canal treatment, the pain is completely gone after 24 hours. Dr Chen also drilled a relatively small hole in the crown so likely should be able to keep the recently placed crown. Highly recommend Dr Chen for endodontic treatment, especially if your tooth has a complex canal anatomy. read more

Dr. Jung was fabulous. I went to the dentist and they said that they needed a root canal. I was leaving on a vacation in two days, my dentist called and set me up an appointment that day. An hour and a half later I was in the chair. Unbelievable experience: felt no pain during the entire procedure, they were constantly concerned about my pain level and comfort, disclosed the total cost before we started, checked on my insurance and made sure everything would be OK. It was really nice since these were not people that I knew and I was going by word-of-mouth only from my own dentist. But I can tell you that this was a relaxing experience especially when you are in a great deal of pain and leaving on a three week vacation. Great to know I now have a new endodontist. Thank you Dr. Jung for helping me enjoy my vacation! read more

I had an accident and broke two of my front teeth. Dr. Chen was recommended to me and I'm so glad I came to Sunny Hills. The entire staff was great, the root canals and follow ups were painless and easy, and they were great at communicating and following up. I pray I never need to do anything like this again, but if something happens I know exactly where I'm going. read more

I was referred to this endodontist office by my general dentist because I needed to get a possible root canal. I was able to get an appointment right away and I like that I was able to fill out all my paperwork online. I was greeted by a friendly staff. Dr. Kawilarang was thorough in the explanation of my x-rays. The office is modern and clean. Although the doctor did not do a root canal, I would still recommend his office because of the level of professionalism displayed. read more

I did not have a good experience at Sunny Hill Endodontics. I've visited many dental and medical offices but have never had to provide my SSN to any of them. Sunny Hill insisted that patients provide them with SSNs so that they can process insurance claims. That is not true. Since dental offices do not have sufficiently robust security practices, I declined to do so. Then, they told me that they did not need my SSN if I paid everything upfront first. This should have been a huge red flag. However, on the advice of my previous general dentist who referred me to them, I gave them a chance.  Dr. Chen was the endodontist who consulted and treated me. He told me that there was no infection but I needed to do a root canal on tooth "A" because my tooth was "traumatized" and probably would not recover. Was this really a legitimate reason to do RCT? I did not seek out a second opinion because my previous dentist "trusted Dr. Chen so much and said that he would never lie to her". On the day of the root canal, I told Dr Chen that tooth "A" was not bothering me as much as tooth "B". He did another cold test and there was no pain nor did the cold sensation linger so I asked if it was really necessary to go forward with RCT? He said yes and proceeded to do RCT on tooth "A". Root canals are not supposed to be painful but my two sessions were. During the two sessions, he seemed unsure and used anesthesia to gauge if it was a "tooth" problem. His rationale was if I felt numb, then it was a tooth problem. Why did he advise me to do RCT if he wasn't sure? They charged extra (not covered by insurance) for the Gentle Wave part of the treatment. The Gentle Wave was done solely by the assistant. Halfway through the root canal, Dr. Chen left to consult another patient. I was left for a long time with the dental dam in my mouth. He came back to finish the procedure and it was more painful because the anesthesia was already wearing off by then. I pretty much paid extra for more pain. There was no difference in my pain before and after RCT. To my surprise, I found out that he had lied to my general dentist. I obtained a copy of my dental records and Dr. Chen mentioned prescribing me medication for infection (Amoxicillin and Medrol). That did not happen at all. At no point did he prescribe me ANY MEDICATION. He specifically told me that I did not have an infection based on my x-rays. My report also said that tests were inconclusive. How did he go from "inconclusive tests" to RCT is necessary? If he had fabricated information on the prescription, what else did he lie about? It turned out that my pain was an occlusion problem and not an endodontic issue. I guess Dr. Chen only saw me as just another pay check. This clinic is definitely overbooking patients. Dr. Chen is always late to the appointments and I usually have to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. In addition, he jumps back and forth between patients, thereby prolonging treatment time. read more

Look, no one likes getting dental work done. Root canals are one of those treatments that people dread. I knew when my upper mollar started hurting and swelled - even cause a sinus issue - that a root canal was in the near future. Dr. Pham, from All Day Smile, referred me to Sunny Hill, and I was able to get an afternoon appointment for a consult the for the next day. They took x-rays and Dr. Kawilarang did a percussion and cold test to determined what treatment was needed to save the tooth. He was very thorough with what was needed and answered the questions I had. He was able to do the treatment the same day, and prescribed me some antibiotics. When it comes to cost, yes, out of pocket cost is high. But when I say that it was possibly the best experience I've had when getting a root canal, 10/10, you best believe it. The treatment took about 1.5 hours, I didn't feel ANYTHING. Even after the anesthesia wore off I was just a bit sore. I've learned my lesson by "going the cheaper route", as they say "lo barato sale caro" ("the cheap ends up being expensive"). If I ever need to get another root canal done (wish I hope I don't), I would go back to Sunny Hill. read more

My aunt had a toothache for daysssss that didn't seem to go away & instead was progressively getting worse. This was not the time for this nonsense because she was flying out of the country in less than 4 days. We consulted with primary dentist who referred us to Sunny Hills Endo. So glad he did!! Spoke with Jeanette; she was so helpful and friendly. She understood our situation and urgency; even though they were booked solid, they worked us in for a consult. We arrived and everyone in the front was smiling and welcoming! This really helped set the tone and eased the nerves of my aunt who's a dental phobe. I mean Root canals are probably most ppls nitemare but here they were so pretty and nice that you can't help but smile back. The assistant took us back to the treatment room, took a 3D image of the problem tooth(THIS IS SOOO COOL!!! All the angles you can see a tooth?! Amaaazing technology; worth the fee for sure for peace of mind that they're not guessing treatment!) and then we met with Dr. K. He is sooooo nice. His calm-gentle temperament plus he took the time to explain what's going on with problem tooth and how we need to proceed. Really appreciated him being patient while I had to translate what he was saying. She ended up needing an extraction so off we went to the Oral Surgeon. Am so grateful for the care received here. Will return if a root canal is needed. Hopefully not though heh. read more

Dr. Chen and Dr. Jung can be sketchy (x- rays, explanations). I couldnt believe it at first, lost #28 due to Dr. Jung. But when Dr. Chen did it, or tried, I caught it. I would have lost #21 as well. Thankfully, I showed general dentist refund & letter (tried to NDA me) & I was able to go elsewhere for that root canal. read more

staff is kind and considerate. I had a root canal done and the Doctor explained the entire procedure along the way. I highly recommend sunny hills endodontics! read more

I had a root canal yesterday morning and I am amazed about my whole experience at Sunny Hills Endodontics. The front office was so friendly and helpful the first day of consultation and yesterday after the root canal completion. Dr.Dale Jung is the best! He was so friendly and caring. He explained to me in detail about my root canal after viewing my 3 D imaging and digital radiography of my tooth . A surgical operating microscope was used during the procedure to enhance the visualization of the inside of the tooth to make treatment more precise. Another aid was the GentleWave procedure that helps clean and disinfect the root canal system. The technology used was amazing! I only felt one injection of the multiple injections before the procedure which was just a slight sting that lasted about 3 seconds. I was comfortable and relaxed while Dr. Jung kept me informed of what he would be doing as he progressed. I didn't feel pain which was quite different than my last experience at another place. Veronica was a friendly and great dental technician. She made me comfortable throughout the process while she assisted Dr. Jung. It is hard to believe but I didn't have pain after I went home, it was just a slight discomfort. In the future I will definitely return to Dr. Jung and the excellent staff if I ever need another root canal. From the beginning to the end it was such a positive experience that I will not forget. read more

Valerie and Doctor were fantastic. They were thorough, friendly, knowledgeable and fast. I didn't have to wait to see them or the root canal they had to do. It was such a pleasant experience. read more

180$ down the drain for this man to tell me I didn't need a root canal, took three photos of the tooth and did not even examine my whole mouth, as I go to walk out the door I am asked to pay 180$ out of pocket when mind you I have one of the best insurance offered. Dr Chen left me a voicemail and I Quote him "we can dictate the price and charge you what we feel is necessary for the treatment" "insurance is not here to help you or help us they are only here for a buck" his choice words. ONLY CHOOSE THIS PLACE IF YOU WANNA THROW MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN read more

My husband was recently referred by his dentist to Sunny Hills Edodontics, and they have amazed us from start to finish. They fit him into the schedule within a half hour of his phone call. Dr. Kawilarang was friendly and knowledgable. He reviewed xrays, reassured my husband that his dentist was wise to get a second opinion, but that my husband actually would not need further treatment for the issue. At the visit, the office staff attempted to run our insurance, but were denied. My husband paid out of pocket, but the staff kept working on it and eventually were able to bill the visit to our insurance. When we received the EOB, we saw that we owed less than the amount my husband paid. He called the office and was assured they were aware and were already processing a refund on our credit card. The charge was reversed the next day! Not only that, but they mailed us a printed receipt plus a clear, easy-to-read statement showing the initial amount paid, the refund, and a resulting balance of $0. After encountering similar situations with other healthcare providers (paying up front then having to prove reimbursement is warranted and then waiting weeks for a paper check to arrive in the mail), this felt like a dream! We are so pleased with this experience and will return to Sunny Hills Endodontics in the future! read more

I am so very very thankful that I was referred to Dr. Chen. He is efficient and kind, but I had trauma and issues with dental procedures since I was a kid. Going to the dentist is not my favorite, I wished Dr. Chen was my doctor then. If I had him, my two tooth would still be present. those teeth went to Heaven. He was extremely efficient and OMGoodness Perfect in his work! He is just like his other colleague, another oral surgeon who specializes implants. Dr. Young Jun. I feel blessed, and I appreciate it. I will refer you to my friends. Also ALL the staff was so professional and wonderful. BTW, the Root Canal was so high tech, I was left speechless. You had me at hello Dr. Chen with your Endodontic procedure. read more

from the start Dr. KAWILARANG, was on point explained everything to me! there was no pain and he explains each step as he did it. his assistant was also on point! great Doctor! read more

Unfortunately, I was in dire need of 2 root canals and upon recommendation had gone to Dr Chen in Fullerton Ca. In my opinion "Dr" Chen needs to go back to school and learn how to care for his patients and not see them only with $$$$ in his eyes. He also was not yet qualified to conduct himself in a professional manner. Thankfully, upon request of my dentist I returned refusing to ever have Dr Chen lay his hands on my mouth after reading reviews here on Yelp!! I instead went to his partner Dr K and I couldn't have been more thankful!! Dr K was so caring and could not have been more knowledgeable!! He was so careful and was more interested in how I was feeling as he worked on my teeth. Exceptional dentist to say the least!! read more

I had a root canal and it was painless with excellent care. I would highly recommend this practice.

Great experience and how often do you hear that about having a root canal! Dr. K is excellent. Kind and explains everything. His staff is also excellent. read more

Excellent care and interaction from scheduling the appointment to the final appointment with Dr. Jeffrey Kawilarang (Dr. K). The staff is wonderful and professional. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. K. No one wants to have a root canal, but if you must, you must go to Dr. K. He is kind, professional, gentle, so knowledgeable and has the best "chair-side" manner. He explained in detail all that he was doing and why he was doing it. He's an excellent doctor and it was an excellent experience. If I ever need another root canal, I will ONLY go to Dr. K! It is definitely a first class office and he's a first class doctor! read more

I'm so grateful to Sunny Hills Endodontics! I was in so much pain and had never been to them, and they took me in immediately and stayed after hours to make sure that my tooth was taken care of! I can't recommend them enough!! read more

Dr Chen is a consummate professional with a great "chair side" manner, but he also has a great sense of humor. He frequently checks to make sure you are not in pain, and remain comfortable throughout the entire process. read more

I had a dental issue and in pain and Sunny Hills took me in the same day as a new patient. The root canal procedure was the best one I ever had. Dr K and Rosario were very kind and professional. Not a fun procedure to have to have, but my experience was great. I had very little pain after the procedure and no pain the next day. I highly recommend Sunny Hills Endodontics. read more

Just wanted to give special shoutouts to Dr. K and team for taking care of me regarding the procedure that started almost 1 yr ago. Initially I was recommended by Dr. Baek to this facility to examine a tooth that hopefully can be saved, after further examination Dr. K recommended I do an apicoectomy surgery. We went ahead with the procedure and came back couple times to check to making sure all things were healing accordingly. Today I am able to bite down on the Lee sandwich with minor force since we all know that sandwich bread can be harder than superman's steel hammer sometimes. When I first met Dr. K I thought he looked young for a surgeon and in my head I was like, "man does he know what he's going or experienced enough as he seems like one of our club's M3 driver". Yes, he was very professional, patient in addressing any concerns and skillful to pull off this task (with minor pain). Thank you again Sunny Hills Endo for saving my front fiddy cent tooth! :D read more

Professional, friendly service from all staff! Excellent bedside manner, clear explanations, and caring treatment from Dr. Chen. Highly recommended. read more

I had a couple of Gentle Wave root canals here a couple of years ago, thanks to faulty veneers and crowns done by my old dentist. Dr. K let me know that I would need root canals done on a few more teeth in the future. Well fast forward two years and he was right. I had another tooth with a crown that needed a root canal. Dr. K was great! He took the pain away. I had no pain during the procedure or afterwards. When I need a root canal, this is the only office I will go to. This was $2k well spent. read more

Dr. William Chen is an amazing endodontist! He and his staff squeezed me in and stayed late to perform my root canal. After a thorough evaluation, Dr. Chen gracefully numbed the area. Then he skillfully performed the root canal. I felt zero pain during and after the procedure. He and his staff, including his nice assistant, Michelle, were very courteous and thorough explaining the whole process. I would highly recommend Dr. William Chen and his crew at Sunny Hills Endodontics without any reservations. read more

My experience was very good. The doctor and staff were so professional and kind. I definitely would recommend him to my family and friends .

$164 for a less than 10 min consultation $305 for a Cone Beam scan which was totally unnecessary. X-Rays covered by my PPO should have been sufficient according to another dentist. Paid out of pocket for nothing. read more

My dentist Dr. Lee sent me here for an emergency root canal. I Hate going to the Dentist and I was pleasantly surprised when I went into this office. The office gal Veronica was friendly and helpful I was seen after waiting about 2 minutes. I was helped first by Melissa. She was great. Then I met with Dr. K. He explained everything. He performed my difficult root canal. It was hard to get the exposed nerve deadened so he could work. But he did it. They did a great job. I highly recommend them. Thank you. Dr. K. read more

A special thank you to Jeffery Kawilarang, DDS, and the whole Sunny Hills Enodontics team. He squeezed me in for a root canal during something of an emergency situation just hours after my dentist called in a referral. The procedure required that drilling through my gold crown to clean out the four roots in an upper molar. It went like clockwork. An excellent staff checked me in and handled the paperwork swiftly. Dr. Kawilarang is extremely professional and efficient in his work. Painless. Friendly communication. Even great music on the playlist. His office called me at home the next morning to check in on how I was doing, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Jeffery Kawilarang and will go back to Sunny Hills Endodontics for any work I may need in the future. read more
