Priscilla Yeung, DMD

My daughter recently needed a root canal which terrified her because she has tremendous dental anxiety and having to get a root canal only made matters worse. Dr. Yeung came highly recommended to me from my dentist so we made an appointment even though we don’t live in the city. I am SO grateful I took her to this office! Street parking right in front of the office is free and ample in a cute neighborhood. It is lovely space, very quiet and peaceful. There was no wait time, and most importantly, Dr. Yeung met us immediately and was warm and welcoming. The staff so courteous and inviting. I sat while my daughter was treated and when she came out she had a smile… she was so relieved and felt no pain. I can’t say enough about the overall experience. Dr. Yeung is amazing!

I made it to the age of 37 without having a root canal, but days after getting a temporary crown put on my very back lower tooth, it started aching really badly and I knew something was wrong, so my dentist referred me to Dr. Yeung.
She was absolutely amazing. She got me in the same day, explained everything so well, was so cool, confident, and reassuring throughout the entire procedure.
I just came to Unilocal to write her a glowing review, and noticed that I’m not alone! Many others have had the same wonderful experience. It’s funny because we’re talking about root canals here, something people dread even having to talk about. But you can feel confident about the entire thing if you’re lucky enough to end up in Dr. Yeung’s office.
But the truth is that I literally didn’t even need the Motrin she prescribed to me for pain after the procedure. Relative to the way my tooth felt BEFORE the procedure, the slight tenderness afterwards was nothing.
And like others, she called me a couple of days after (on a Sunday) to follow up and make sure I was okay.
I expected it to hurt during. It didn’t. I expected it to hurt afterwards. It didn’t. What else can you ask for?
Thank you Dr. Yeung!

Dr. Yeung it’s truly a great endodontist. She’s incredibly professional, talented, and patient. Her office is also extremely helpful with scheduling and billing issues. Highly recommend!

I have been in the dental field for 15 years. There is something be said about providing a service to people then one day needing it yourself. It definitely can drum up a dental anxiety that I knew I never had. With that being said, Dr. Yeung is the «Crème dela Crème of Endodontics!!! She has this kind warm personality that makes her bedside manner A+++. She is knowledgable and exhausts all efforts to make you at comfort with your pain or concerns. From the point of entering her office, to working with her calm compassionate staff makes the stress just disappear. I have had to see her on multiple occasions for root canals that just seem to worsen with pregnancy. I could go on and on an on with all the wonderful qualities this office provides. (Even all the little amenities the batheroom has). I definitely would be providing a disservice if I didn’t share her with all. She has one my trust and will be stuck with me for a lifetime if ever needed. All the positive reviews are true to a tee.

There’s nothing pleasant about a root canal but Dr. Yeung makes it as painless of an experience as possible. From the calm atmosphere to her demeanor, her and her staff put you at ease, thoroughly go over the process and answer any questions. She’s quick and gentle and personally calls you the next day to check on you. I’m not sure what more you could ask for.

I wish every doctor visit was like this. Best Root Canal Ever… is that a thing?
I called the day before and they got me in at 10:00 am the next morning. I came in kinda grouchy and nervous about having an unexpected root canal. I’d never had one before. Agnes explained the basics to me patiently, and the Dr. Yeung took her time explain the whole process in detail and why it is that my tooth cracked and died (trauma to the tooth,) and she explained the x-​rays. She answered every question I had thoroughly. I never felt like she was in a hurry to finish. I won’t lie– I was a bit freaked out during the procedure. But that’s because it was my first root canal and it’s inherently unpleasant. But they did everything possible to make me comfortable. The next day, Dr. Yeung gave me a call to check on me and make sure I was taking antibiotics and the pain meds. She had warned me it would be painful, but honestly, while a bit tender, it doesn’t hurt nearly as bad as it did before the root canal.
Both Agnes and Dr. Yeung were extremely competent and extremely kind. How often do you find two people in one office who are both of those things?

Thank you Unilocalers for helping me find an endodontist. I read through many endodontists’ reviews cautiously before I decided to call Dr. Priscilla Yeung’s office for an appointment. I typically do not write reviews but my experience at Dr. Yeung’s office was so positive that I decided to write one. I concur 100% with other reviewers’ assessment.
I saw Dr. Yeung for an emergency root canal treatment. I was in excruciating miserable pain. Those of you who have had a toothache will know what I mean. Her staff understood that I was in dire pain and needed urgent treatment. They were able to squeeze me in for emergency treatment despite already having a full schedule. They did explain I would have to wait a bit.
Her staff was able to get me in toward the end of the day. I did not eat all day due to the pain. They offered me apple juice, yogurt and some green tea. I was truly touched by how caring and compassionate everyone was. Dr. Yeung came in and introduced herself. She knew I was in so much pain so she explained that she would diagnose the problem first, then numb me up so that I could be comfortable before she explained in detail what her findings were and what the procedure would entail.
She explained everything in a way that was easy to understand – it was like ROOT CANAL 101. This is the first time I understood why I needed root canal treatment and what it was. Dr. Yeung was kind, genuine, soft spoken and did not rush through the procedure. Her hands were light and gentle. She and her assistant Agnis form a perfect team. They work so well together and Dr. Yeung is so polite to her assistant and staff. Always saying thank you’s and please’s. The emergency treatment was completed that day but I have to return to have the procedure completed. The procedure went so smoothly and she went through all the instructions. I left her office feeling like a brand new person. She even called me personally the next day to follow up and check in. She truly cares about her patients well-​being. I am just speechless. This was an exceptional experience from her front staff, to the assistant and the doctor. I had been treated by several other dentists before and there is just no comparison. I wish all dentists are like her. Thank you Dr. Yeung and your staff for taking exceptional care of me. Thank you Unilocalers.

Let me start by saying all of the great reviews about Dr. Yeung are accurate. I called at 4:00 Monday to see if they had an opening asap. They were able to get me in first thing Tuesday. I came in early for my 10:00 appointment due to the extreme pain I was having. I arrived at 9:30 to hopefully be seen as quickly as possible. Office staff was very friendly, got me started on paperwork and I was in the chair by 9:45.
Dr. Yeung took a minute to throughly explain my situation and told me I had a cracked tooth. She said she would do her best to save it but if the crack was too deep I was looking at an implant.
I was worried, but we got started. She took her time but worked quickly. It was the most pain free dental visit I have ever had, including cleanings.
She performed the root canal and took several X-​rays along the way to ensure her job was done well. In the end she saved the tooth and explained again the possible problems I may face later due to the crack.
She said I would have a lot of pain for a day or three but the first round of pain meds have worn off and I feel fine. Of course, nothing was as bad as the original toothache.
I’m very happy and would recommend her to everyone. Very straight shooter, no up selling or BS, just a great dentist with the time to explain things to a worried patient.
6 stars if I could. Thanks again for the quick service.,

A friend of mine had raved about Dr. Yeung so I forfeited my in-​network recommendation to go to her for a root canal last week. No only was Dr. Yeung very informative but she has all the latest technology and education. She received a scholarship from the Navy for dental school and despite being in the Navy, she is patient, soft-​spoken and kind. She explains things before and while she does them in a way that you will understand as well and takes a lot of pride in her work.
I had a badly inflamed root so she mentioned that I would be in some pain for a while after the procedure. She even called the next day to go over everything again and check on my pain levels. I was 100% fine the entire time, no pain at all!
I hope to not have to go back anytime soon but I will absolutely recommend her to everyone I know who needs a good endo. Also, her staff is incredible, they follow-​up on everything and give you estimates in advance of procedures so you can make an educated decision. Great job team Yeung!

Dr. Priscilla Yeung is everything other reviewers have expressed and much more. After 9 days of increasing and finally, agonizing pain, I was referred to Dr. Yeung. I left my Northside dentist’s office and when I arrived at the office Dr. Yueng and her assistant were actually waiting for me. By this time, the abcess was so acute my eye was swollen almost shut and by face distended by the infection.
Tests were performed and it was determined the tooth could not be saved. All measures were taken to relieve my suffering and remove the infection. For the first time in days, I was not taking prescription pain meds every 2.5 hours.
Dr. Yueng was patient, understanding, and very compassionate. She called me the next day to be certain I was feeling better and asked if I had any questions regarding post treatment care and recovery.
I wish all health care professionals would use Dr. Yueng as a measure of quality care.

Dr Yeung has great service and an accommodating staff. The next day after my root canal procedure, I felt no pain or soreness. It speaks to finesse and skillful technique of Dr. Yeung.

I found Dr. Yeung after doing a Unilocal search and carefully reading through many of the reviews and I’m certainly glad I did!
This was my first root canal and after hearing stories of horror from family and friends, I was leery about the procedure but I was in so much pain, I was highly motivated to get it resolved. Her receptionist made an emergency appointment two hours after I called her and I was immediately impressed upon walking into the brand new, meticulously arranged lobby and office.
She uses all new equipment, including a digital x-​ray machine which produces immediate results that she puts up on a large LCD monitor on the wall for you to see along with her. Her receptionist (a young Asian woman) and assistant (a young European woman) were extremely courteous and professional. And of course, Dr. Yeung herself is an Asian woman and was meticulous and detailed in her explanations of what she thought was going on with my pain, and what she was going to do. She explained every step of what she was doing before she did it. I literally felt almost no pain except for very brief moments and very minor, from the very first Novocain injection through to putting in a temporary filling on the tooth where she did the root canal. As a matter of fact, she said to raise my left hand if I ever felt pain and she would give me more medicine. I never actually had to raise my hand because if I flinched, even a minor flinch, she immediately stopped what she was doing and gave me more medicine before continuing. She beat me to raising my hand every time. If she knew there was a chance I would feel more pain based on what she was doing, she would mention it BEFORE she started doing the procedure. Honestly, at some point, I think I actually started to fall asleep during the procedure!
After the procedure when the Novocain wore off, I literally felt NO PAIN whatsoever, a long as I didn’t bite down directly on the tooth she did the root canal on, but she told me not to eat on that side of my mouth anyway until I can have the tooth examined by my regular dentist and the temporary filling in my existing crown replaced with a permanent filling.
Although she wasn’t inexpensive and I was paying out-​of-​pocket, it’s was worth every dollar to me.
So being a root canal virgin, she was the ideal endodontist you might say. :)

I cannot believe how amazing my experience with Dr. Yeung and her staff was. My tooth became sensitive to cold/​hot fluid/​food and I saw my dentist who said I need a root canal urgently. It needed to be done before I headed out of town. I called her office and explained the situation, and she and her staff were kind enough to stay late to perform the root canal. This was also my first root canal. I expected because I was coming in after hours there might be a little annoyance (who likes working late, on a Friday never the less), but nope! She was kind, explained EVERYTHING and answered any question I had. She did the procedure quickly and I only once felt a little pain (she quickly numbed it up after I raised my hand). Her and her staff did it all with smiles on their faces and cared about my comfort. The whole thing was less painful then a cavity. The day after I felt only minor discomfort (compared to before the root canal).
This has been an amazing experience, truthfully, I would urge anyone to go to her if they need Endodonist work. It was so positive I didn’t mind the bill (what part my dental plan did not cover). Best experience, ever.
Thank you so much Dr. Yeung and your staff!!!

Dr. Yeung and her staff are wonderful — professional and truly caring about their patients.
Like others, I was referred here by my dentist for a root canal. I also called a couple of other places, just since I typically like to explore my options, but was struck by the significant difference in knowledge and care experienced between staff at various offices so chose Dr. Yeung’s office — and I’m so glad I did! In the end, Jackie altered scheduling multiple times and proactively followed up with me to accommodate as early an appointment as possible — which was so helpful to me as I was in a lot of pain.
Dr. Yeung is amazing, and my entire root canal procedure, including initial novocaine injections, was entirely painless. Whenever I asked a question about my procedure, potential after-​effects or follow-​up care, Dr. Yeung provided more than enough information, instead of just enough. Prior to my root canal, I received a fuzzy blanket and sunglasses, which significantly helped to make me feel comfortable with the standard procedure light and slightly cool office temperature.
Honestly, by the time that I had received my initial round of novocaine treatment, I completely trusted Dr. Yeung and her staff in my mouth, which is a pretty unusual feeling for me, as I’ve experienced past complications related to dental care received.
Altogether, I would definitely recommend Dr. Yeung! She and her staff, Jackie and Agnes, are kind and reassuring, and provide comprehensive care.

Amazing!!! Wish she did more than just root canals! My dentist tried to suggest he could do this procedure but after asking a few friends I was told to go strait to an endodontist. Thank god I listened because my tooth ended up being pretty bad. I was SO NERVOUS but honestly only felt a bit of discomfort and was quickly always given more numbing agent. After about four hours the numbing had completely worn off and I took the prescribed medication. It did feel tender but no throbbing or anything horrible at all! I have had more painful fillings in the past! I highly recommend Dr. Yeung! This is coming from a serous wimp when it comes to pain!!!

What everyone is saying about Dr. Yeung is absolutely true! I had my first root canal and was very nervous but as so many people have written in their reviews, it was a breeze! Dr. Yeung’s office and staff are very welcoming. At everyone step her assistant or Dr. Yeung herself explained what was happening and why. I still cannot believe that there was no pain during the procedure at all. The day after I was a little sore but other than that, I felt great!
If you are in need of a root canal please do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Yeung — your mouth will thank you!

I can’t even begin to describe the amazingness of Dr. Yeung.
Long story short, I came into her office off a referral from my regular dentist to look at my horribly aching tooth. She was able to see me same day, which was excellent.
I came into the office looking and feeling less than pathetic. She took her time testing my tooth and determined at about 5:30pm that I needed a root canal. Both she AND her staff stayed late to do it right away. That, my friends, is COMMITMENT to patients and ensuring the best possible care. Dr. Yeung also personally called me this morning to check in to see how I was feeling. Love it.
Despite having to stay well past closing time, I liked that she took her time to explain everything to me. Not an easy task because I was a bit of a mess. She does an exceptional job numbing the gums, too, and makes sure to check in at incredibly regular intervals to ensure you’re not feeling any sharp pain.
Her office is clean and comfortable, her staff is SO nice and professional and Dr. Yeung was incredible. I’m a VERY happy patient.

I will preface my review with an admission that I am a pathetic, sniveling, anxiety-​riddled wuss when it comes to going to the dentist (but otherwise I am a Paul Bunyanesque fearless rock of a man). Having forgone check-​ups for 2 years, my wandering tongue eventually spotted a loose filling. One morning when I woke up, my wandering tongue discovered that same filling had gone missing during the night and left in its place what felt like a mini-​Grand Canyon and an accompanying sensitive (to say the least) spot. I went to my dentist hoping for a simple replacement of the filling, but to my extreme dismay (actually displeasure, I have no right to be dismayed by the logical eventuality of my dental inattentiveness) I was informed that I would be treated to my first root canal. Knowing what a wuss I am, he prescribed a Xanax for me and referred me to Dr. Yeung, saying that he was doing so specifically because of her treatment of anxious patients.
I could not have been more pleased with Dr. Yeung. While the Xanax did not a damn thing, Dr. Yeung gave me the best experience I have ever had with any doctor. She was very willing to answer any questions, she explained every step of the process, and throughout the procedure she was extremely gentle. Most of my fillings were far more unpleasant.
The thing that most impressed me was my sense of the pride and care that Dr. Yeung took in her work. She really seemed to have very high standards for herself and for the experience she wanted to give her patient. I really cannot say enough good things about her, nor can I recommend her strongly enough (though I’d also strongly recommend regular flossing as it’s both cheaper than a root canal and does not result in your walking around for an afternoon drooling out of one side of your mouth).

If you have to get a root canal — please PLEASE visit Dr. Yeung!
I was referred out to Dr. Yeung from my general dentist when he informed me that I would need a root canal treatment. I called immediately and Dr. Yeung’s office was able to accomodate before the July 4^th holiday squeezing me in the next day because I was in so much pain.
Dr. Yeung proceeded to take x-​rays, conduct an exam and consultation. My situation was particularly tough to diagnose because the tooth that actually needed a root canal didn’t appear to be that infected from x-​rays; she did multiple tests to make sure and had success with this tricky diagnosis. She even asked if I was able to eat the morning of the procedure; I hadn’t due to the pain. She gave me juice, crackers and fruit snacks to make sure my blood sugar would be high enough for the procedure and anestesia. What an amazing doctor!
Her office is clean, comfortable and doesn’t feel much like a doctor’s office, more like a loft space.
Dr. Yeung talked me through the whole procedure, and did an amazing job accomodating my tight jaw and challenges opening wide. She massaged my jaw during the breaks we took — her attentiveness and compassion was amazing.
And — as some of these reviews state — she did call the next day (a holiday!) to check in and make sure I was recovering okay. I am so impressed with the care I received here! Five star recommendation for sure!

I am absolutely terrified of dental work. When I went to my dentist for the first time in many years I began to dry heave and break out into hives. Yeah, I’ve got issues.
My dentist recommended I go to Dr. Yeung for 2 – 4 root canals, depending on her opinion. She did a bunch of tests, took some XRays, and determined I would need three (woo hoo!).
I got my first root canal with her the same day of the consultation. I was able to listen to headphones and she and her assistant were so gracious and they calmed me (as much as they could) the entire time. She made sure I experienced as little pain as possible, and to be honest it was barely painful at all. That’s a good thing, since I get to go back tomorrow for the other two!
Dr. Yeung and her entire staff are nothing short of amazing. She even prescribed me an anti-​anxiety medication for my next round of root canals so I hopefully wont be nearly as much of a wreck as I was last time.
Her receptionist is very helpful as well, and she didn’t seem rushed or apathetic at all as many medical receptionists do. She talked me through the entire process and was really great when it came to clearing things with my insurance. It is so hard to find doctors who are great who have an equally amazing staff. Literally everyone I encountered here was SO nice and SO helpful. They made this entire process so much easier and better than it usually is.
A+, I highly recommend Dr. Yeung and everyone at her office!
