Saving Starry NightAfter Van Gogh — Torrance, 2026
From ache to whole
The journey of saving a tooth.
One night, one painting. Move across it from left to right and watch the little one make it home. Swipe through four scenes, from the ache to the homecoming.
01 · The ache It starts at night. Pain arrives after hours. One call, and a real person answers.
02 · The picture We map before we move. A 3D scan draws every canal before we begin. Nothing is guessed.
03 · The quiet hour Gentler than its reputation. Usually one unhurried visit, with sedation if you want it.
04 · The homecoming You arrive whole. You keep your tooth, your bite, your jawbone.

Patient stories
What it felt like, in their words.
Dr. Phan made my root canal completely painless. I was so nervous, but he and his staff were incredibly calming. I actually fell asleep during the procedure!
As someone with severe dental anxiety, I can't recommend Dr. Phan enough. He explained everything, checked on me constantly, and I felt zero pain.
Had an emergency root canal and they got me in the same day. Professional, efficient, and genuinely caring. The best dental experience I've ever had.
Common questions
Straight answers, no surprises.
We're out-of-network with every plan. We file your claim for you, and most patients find the difference smaller than they feared.
What out-of-network means for your billVirtually painless. Most patients compare it to a filling. We offer nitrous oxide and oral sedation for anxious patients.
Root canal plus crown runs $2,100–3,500. Extraction plus implant runs $4,000–6,000 and up. Saving the tooth keeps your jawbone and usually lasts a lifetime. We're out-of-network with all plans, file your claim for you, and offer payment plans.
Saving your natural tooth is usually best: better function, lower cost, no bone loss. We'll give you an honest recommendation after a 3D imaging evaluation, including when extraction is the right call.
Persistent pain, lingering sensitivity, swelling, or a darkened tooth. Even without symptoms, infection can exist. A 3D scan confirms.
Anesthesia, remove the infected pulp, clean and seal the canals, then a crown by your dentist. One to two visits, minimal downtime.
