Irvine Endodontics

I had to have a Root canal and Dr. Cho performed the surgery… he was absolutely amazing and NO Pain. All the staff was very friendly and made sure I was comfortable through out the entire procedure. I would highly recommend Irvine Endodontics.

Dr. Cho is very kind and thorough with his work. He listens to and has answers to all of my questions. My husband has had two root canals here and we will not go anywhere else! They also provide headphones and different flavored numbing agents. I recommend him for all your dental work!

Irvine Endodonitcs not only goes a great job, but they make you feel so comfortable during the entire visit. They take the time to make sure they understand what is most important. Everyone was very nice and professional. The office is easy to find and very clean and nice. They make sure that you feel very little or no pain.
The service was excellent from making the appt to finishing up the visit. Thank you Dr Cho!

They run a practice that is out of this world, I was beyond impressed with Dr Cho and his assistant Jeane. If I could give them 10 star I would definitely do. Dr Cho was extremely friendly and acknowledgeable.
Thank you Dr Cho, Jeane and karen, you guys were amazing.

Dr. Mansouri and her staff are outstanding. Dr. Mansouri, Janae’ (dental assistant) and Karen (front desk) were welcoming, friendly, and made me feel at ease before my (1^st) root canal. Dr. Mansouri did an excellent job; she was very careful and took the extra time needed on my procedure without rushing me out even though it was well after 6pm. I also received a gift… earphones and lip balm. Thank you for making my experience MUCH BETTER than expected. Hopefully, I won’t have to return, but if I need another root canal I know where I’ll go!

Excellent, excellent job! Dr. Cho and Jenae (not sure how to spell her name — sorry it’s misspelled!!!) Did an excellent job! I was terrified of a root canal, because most people that get one talk about their horrible experiences. I had a tooth in the back of my mouth that had a huge cavity, and it started acting up again. I knew from my previous dentist that I may eventually need to get a root canal, so mentally I was preparing myself.
Went to visit Dr. Lee, who shares a practice with Dr. Yu, and I was referred to Dr. Cho. Best recommendation ever!
Dr. Cho was friendly and took the time to explain everything! He made sure I was comfortable and felt no pain! If something hurt, he just gave me another shot to make sure that the rest of the procedure went well.
Getting a root canal takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes so make sure you use the restroom! I was getting light headed, from being under the warm light for a while, so I asked to sit up and take a breather. Dr. Cho did not even hesitate and let me take the breaks.
Honestly, this was the best scenario for a root canal. It felt like a cavity filling, just longer. Definitely will refer friends and family if anyone ever needs one

Went here four days ago to retreat an old root canal. The assistant and doctor were super nice and did a great job. I’ve had problems with other endodontists, but she was very careful and courteous.
— One word of advice… Make sure you use the bathroom before starting the procedure. It’s a long ride.

Dr Jason explained me all my options also gave a heads up for what could be the different outcomes. But finally when he performed my complicated root canal it was done with utmost care and he made sure I have no dis-​comfort. Also he used the special rubber frame to collect all the stuff in when he was working on my tooth so I did not have to swallow bad stuff or gargle. The reception lady karen and Amla were welcoming and make me feel at ease. The office seems to be a happy place. There were couple of other support staff in the room who explained all the details and gave a tour of the office and procedures. I would definitely recommend Dr Jason Choi if you want a root canal done in the most professional way with bare minimum pain. Thank you all for a great experience.

Imagine how comfortable you would be if your dentist was also a dear friend.
That’s Dr. Cho.
Walked me through the procedure, explained options, really cared about me as a patient.
Dr. Cho– You have a fan.
Now imagine if your favorite aunt ran the office part of the business. That’s Karen.
She is personal, genuine, and professional.

For someone who is petrified of the dentist getting a root canal was not something I was looking forward to. However Dr Cho and the team at Irvine Endodontics made me feel at ease. Their facility is clean and have state of the art equipment so you know you’re getting the best treatment ever.
Dr Cho walked me through each step and make sure I was comfortable. His assistant Monique was so sweet and accommodating as well. I felt very very little to no pain. Dr. Cho is a genius and you are in great hands! I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommended Dr Cho if you are in need of a root canal. Best experience ever: D

My regular dentist referred me to Irvine Endodontics for a root canal. Hearing so much horror stories about this procedure, I was really surprised just how smooth the entire process was for me when I met Dr. Fay Mansouri and her staff at Irvine Endodontics. From the get go, they made sure I was feeling comfortable, and Dr. Mansouri was very patient in asking all of my questions. Thank you guys for a great experience, and I appreciate the kind service from your staff!

I had Dr Cho and let me tell you he was AMAZING!!! I was referred from my dentist to go to him for my infected root canal. From the second I walked in the office the staff was so friendly towards me. They took my x rays right away and I was being treated 15 minutes after I walked in the door. They made me feel so comfortable by giving my head phones to listen to my music and also offered me a blanket and pillow. I usually hate the dentist especially having a root canal done let alone an infected root canal but let me tell you I didn’t even feel it! Dr Cho explained everything before, during, and after the procedure. He was so incredible! Go to Dr Cho for any root canal work that you need done! He’s just THAT good!

Dr. Cho & the dental assistant Janaé worked on me for my root canal and they were so amazing! Dr. Cho even squeezed me into his schedule because I was in so much pain. He’s very gentle and let’s you know every step of the process. Thank you so much!!!

I work for a urology practice here in SoCal and I was beyond impressed with Dr cho and his assistant jeane (hope I spelled that right!) but I have pretty high expectations, I’ve only ever seen one dentist that treats my whole family. So when I’m referred out I’m a little hesitant, I’m also spoiled beyond reason at my family dentist. But I suffer from pretty severe TMJ and dr cho was beyond patient with me giving me more numbing shots then most and asking if I needed breaks to give my jaw some rest. No one likes root canals in any way shape or form but my experience here was fantastic and if I need more of this type of work I would go here in a heart beat! They deserve all of their ratings and the five stars I’m giving them!
Thanks Dr Cho & Jeane we guys were amazing!

I’m not into going to dental offices and was terrified of a root canal when i was told i needed one. From my first phone call through my appointment, the office staff was friendly and reassuring. Dr. Mansouri was attentive to all my concerns and did everything to ensure that she will take care of the pain. Would I recommend her? Most definitely!

DR. CHO IS A GOD! I’m in utter amazement at how great he is. So thorough. They run a practice that is out of this world and unlike any dentist visit I have ever had or could ever have in my life. I love that man’s work! DO NOT HESITATE! BOOK YOUR APPT!
I had a root canal that had gotten pretty bad and he handled it. They surprise you with a lovely gift and earphones to listen to tunes during your procedure which helps. I got cold and was given a lush brown warm blanket. I can’t say enough.
I loved seeing him using all those high tech tools and looking through that microscope. It made me feel like he was really getting the job done right. Amazing.

I didn’t believe all the raving reviews about Dr. Cho at first. I have a bad history with dentists, at least until yesterday.
My 2^nd molar rotted from the inside due to the negligent of my previous dentist and needed a large filling as a result. It has been very sensitive since the beginning of this year. I have seen the dentist twice since then and he can never seemed to figure out what is wrong with it.
I am so glad that I did my research and found Dr. Cho! Everyone in the office was courteous. They even have this little welcome present for the new patients.
Upon initial review it was determined that I definitely need a root canal. Even though I watched a root canal procedure video ahead of time, I was still scared. Dr. Cho explained every single step to me and constantly checked if I was doing okay (not just pain level, but if I was cold or needed music!).
I am all too familiar with the painful stab of novocaine that I cringe at the sight of the long needle. However, for the first time in my life, I did not feel the novocaine AT ALL. Dr. Cho was so patient and careful that I didn’t even notice until it was over. For this alone, I would recommend Dr. Cho to anyone who is scared of the dentist.
The whole procedure took about an hour. After my insurance I paid only $ 500 out of pocket, phew! I would love to see Dr. Cho again, but that would mean there is something wrong with my teeth, so maybe not… lol
Highly recommend!

I was referred to Dr. Cho through my dentist, Dr. Yu, to get a second opinion on a tooth that has had previous trauma history and is now experiencing heightened sensitivity. Dr. Cho’s demeanor is so pleasant! He erred on the side of caution and I didn’t need a root canal (thankfully), but if I ever need one in the future I won’t hesitate to come back here to have it done. The rest of the staff is fantastic too!
Another nice touch: as a new patient, I received a welcome letter and a small gift (ear buds and lip balm). Yes, seriously! I was so impressed by that gesture because businesses rarely do things like that these days. Really great.

I am so thankful for Unilocal and Irvine Endodontics. If not for Unilocal l wouldnt have found Dr. Fay Mansouri and her fabulous crew.
Ive been experiencing severe pain on my left lower mollar that had a crown. My pain was so severe it radiated to my left ear… I knew right there and then that I needed a root canal. I initially went to my general dentist to confirm the diagnosis and had a referral made to a different endodontist in irvine. I knew I needed someone really good to do the root canal since I have an existing crown. Good thing I did my research and found Irvine Endodontics. I gave them a call and was able to schedule an appointment right away. Everyone was so nice and accomodating. My fear of going to the dentist and getting a root canal was actually replaced with excitement when i found irvine endodontics. I read all the great reviews and patient experience, everyone was beyond satisfied.
As a firm believer of Unilocal,having 99% of the reviews with 5 stars is pretty epic… And they weren’t just short reviews, they were very long and detailed. Everyone’s just raving about how good irvine endodontics is. So when it was my turn to get a root canal, irvine endodontics definitely did not disappoint. From Karen the office manager giving me a tour of the office and explaining what equipment they use to Jessica/​Jennifer (sorry i forgot your name. but she was the super nice pretty blonde dental assistant of Dr. Mansouri) that made sure i was comfortable during the root canal. to Dr. Fay Mansouri for being so excellent at what she does.
My overall experience was really great… as odd as it may sound, i felt like i was actually at the spa. They gave me a small gift pack with lip balm and earphones (which you can use for your phone and listen to itunes coz yes they have wifi— yey! so i was listening to bossanova radio the whole time).
I highly recommend Dr. Fay Mansouri and her team if ever anyone needs a root canal. Thank you Irvine Endodontics for doing an awesome job!

I just made a trip to Irvine Endodontics yesterday. They were super accommodating and went out of their way to make me feel really comfortable! I usually avoid dental offices like the plague, but when you wake up at 2 a.m. to an excruciating pain in your tooth, you gots to go! Here’s a little background & story…
I went to see two general dentists over 6 months ago and was told that I needed a root canal treatment from an endodontist. Of course, being the scaredy cat I am, I put it off until the slight, throbbing pain started a week ago. I called Irvine Endodontics after seeing all the great reviews and asked if I could get treatment on Saturday morning, since I couldn’t take any days off from work this month. I was told that the doctors don’t come in on Saturdays. However, the secretary called Dr. Mansouri who was willing to come in on Saturday morning just to see me!
However, two nights before my appointment, I started feeling excruciating pain in my upper left molar. It became so severe that it woke me up 2 a.m. I tried to endure the pain at work, but it got so bad that I called the office and informed them of the severe pain. They were kind enough to squeeze me in at 5 p.m. that same day.
When I arrived a the office (which was very modern and clean), I was greeted by Karen, who then gave me an iPad to fill out the new patient forms. I was then seated in the room where I was to be treated and was helped by the dental hygienist, who gave me a small pack of chapstick, earphones, and letter from the office! In addition, she offered me 3 flavors for the numbing gel (strawberry, piña colada, mint) and also helped me set up the radio and earphones for me to listen to during the treatment.
I was treated by Dr. Cho, who had a very calming presence. He was very thorough in explaining the prognosis and treatment procedure. He also gave me three shots of local anesthesia, which is why the root canal treatment was TOTALLY pain free. I’ve heard horror stories from friends who suffered from pain during their root canal procedures, but I was blown away by how painless the entire procedure was. I was so relaxed during the treatment that I nearly fell asleep. twice.
I did not have dental insurance, so I ended up paying around $ 1,400 for the root canal treatment. This office does accept Care Credit as a payment plan option, but I opted to pay with credit cards.
At the end of it all, Dr. Cho gave me instructions on how to care for my tooth after the procedure. Karen also gave me a paper with these instructions and told me to grab a free water bottle from the fridge.
Never thought I’d put «painless and pleasant» with «root canal» in one sentence, but now I can. Thanks Irvine Endodontics!
