Regina De Leon, DMD, MMSC

When my daughter had pain on her lower left molar I new she would need a root canal. As a dentist, I had referred many patients to Dr. De Leon because of her training, reputation and the glowing reports I had received.
Dr. De Leon was successful in allaying her apprehensions and completed her treatment without incident. As a result, my daughter is now enjoying chewing her food without pain and is grateful for the thorough and compassionate treatment she received.
I would continue to recommend Dr. De Leon without reservation.

I have been seeing Dr. De Leon for about 6 years. I can say without a doubt that she does great, lasting work and gives very solid advice. I’m one of the unfortunate people who has had to have many root canals in his life, but the bright side is they were relatively painless (the only minor and brief pain is getting the needle for the anesthesia — after that, all good). I can also say she has a great staff who do their very best to take care of you. Shout out to Amy behind the desk!

I can’t say enough good things about my experience. I was terrified of a root canal and De Leon and her staff walked me through the entire process. She was very gentle with the needles and it wasn’t bad at all. Her office is nice and calm and they know how to treat anxious patients. She’s also funny so they helped too!

Still thought the service was excellent. But just got ANOTHER bill??? Thought I paid for all this already?!! I’ll call and follow up but man this seems odd.

Never thought I would say this about getting a root canal, but for the first time in my life, I actually didn’t mind getting it done coz it wasn’t painful!!! Seriously, I only took ONE Advil for the entire procedure, that’s how skilled Dr. DeLeon is. Impressive! No bruising, no pain, no headache, I almost forgot I had a root canal done the next day.
Besides that, everybody at the office was so nice and accommodating. Amy and Kelly were extremely friendly, that really helped to put me at ease since it was my first time there, and I was very nervous (who likes to get their root canal done?!) Then of course, there’s Dr. DeLeon… what a wonderful lady, she’s very calm and gentle, and makes sure to explain what she’s gonna do the entire time. I felt very comfortable and confident that I was in good hands… And I was absolutely right! Not that I’m anticipating another procedure, but if I ever happen to need one, I’ll know where I’ll be heading :)

I think it’s about time SOMEONE updated on this place!
Dr. De Leon and her staff are very kind and friendly. They answered all my questions very thoroughly and I tend to ask a LOT of questions but they were so patient! I’ve had this toothache for quite sometime but due to a busy schedule, I had to postpone my appointment a month later. They were very nice and said that’s fine but if the pain becomes unbearable, I should call in and they will squeeze me in whenever. HOW NICE IS THAT?!
Before my treatment, she told me to put these tinted glasses on. I asked her why. And she told me because the light is going to be very bright and this will protect my eyes. OMG I am dying in kindness here! They let me listen to my music. They gave OTC medicines in place of crazy strong prescription drugs (IDK if I should be proud of that hah)
Such a pleasant place to be during a stressful and painful time. Glad I was referred to this place!

I went to Dr. De Leon about a year after having a traumatic dental experience that led to severe anxiety about having work done on my teeth. But, when I started having unbearable pain, I had no choice but to seek help. Dr. De Leon squeezed me in, day of, and she and her staff were so friendly and helpful. As shocking as this may sound, having my root canal done by Dr. De Leon has actually cured me of my dental phobia, that’s how great she was. I would definitely recommend her for dental surgery.

Had a root canal there in 2011, and it was actually entirely painless and fast, and from what I can tell, very well-​priced. Regina is very friendly and engaging and explains everything you need to know. Highly recommended.

Dr. De Leon is probably the most professional individual you can come across that will ever see your mouth literally wide-​open. In a dire need to relieve myself of the excruciating pain I was enduring this past Saturday, I came across her practice off a referral from another dentist with a 4.5 star rating on Unilocal.
She was kind enough to squeeze me in to her busy Saturday schedule. Off the bat, you can tell the Dr. De Leon knows her stuff. Dr. De Leon and her office manager Amy will explain to you everything you need to know about a root canal. and trust me, there is no one you can pick better to pop your root canal cherry than her.
One of my pet peeves with dentists are «heavy hands», and best believe this is not a problem with her. Her primary concern is to get you out of pain and she did just that whilst giving me a crash course in the anatomy of human teeth. I truly wish that I would not have to go through the process once again, but if I ever had to, there is no other endodontist I would open my mouth for.

I had my frist root canal here. It was painless and she was caring. Dr. Regina assistant Kelly can speak chinese or cantonese. I just didn’t like the x ray machine but every things else was good. Thanks

Dr. DeLeon is an excellent, knowledgeable endodontist with a great supporting cast. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a root canal

I loved Dr. De Leon, she picked up right away I was nervous and anxious about the procedure, (2 root canals) she offered gas, and gave me a small magic pill. [valium]
I was soooooo relaxed thru the whole procedure, I even fell asleep! she had to put a big old black rubber block thing in my mouth to hold it open… LOL!
I’ve had such a bad experience with dentists. She was a breath of fresh air…
her assistant was also very pleasant… I wish there were more dentists like her.
and honest too…

Broke a tooth on Saturday night. On Monday morning, my dentist, Dr. Rahbar concluded I needed a root canal and a crown. She got me into see Dr. DeLeon at 11:30AM the same day. Dr. De Leon, as others have written was very thorough and explained what need to be done. He office manager explained the costs. Two and a half hours later not only was the root canal completely done (normally these take two sessions) but she prepped the tooth so it was further along for getting the crown done. The procedure took a little over two hours. I asked for the nitrous oxide, put on a headset and was zoned out. No pain afterwards.
This lady is a champ!

Dr. Leon and staff have great bedside manner and put me at ease for what I was expecting to be a horrific root canal experience! It turned out 1. I did not need a root canal (yay!) 2. Dr. Leon filled my cavity without crazy pain. She talked me through the entire procedure, which I very much appreciated. I whole heartedly recommend Dr. Leon and staff, but keep flossing so you don’t need her services!

I’ve had more than my far share of root canals and I have to say that this was by far my best experience. Dr. De Leon is very professional and gives the best injections because thinking back I never felt the needle go in as I did with others before. She also cares about her patients, you aren’t just a name on a chart. I will recommend everyone I know who needs a root canal. They are not pleasant but she makes them so!

Dr. De Leon has a conservative approach to prolonging the life of the tooth (I’ve had too many dentists try to sell me on «pre-​emptive» roots canals); she dedicated a lot of time to explaining and planning my treatments with me and doing follow-​ups; she was very meticulous during the procedure; a year later, I am very happy with her work; and last but not least, she is a pleasure to chat with! Also, Amy at the front desk is very thoughtful and will go out of her way to help with insurance issues. If you want a dentist who is honest and won’t try to sell you on more work than you need, go see Dr. De Leon.

Now that I have finished Episode II of the Root Canal saga (no prequels, and hopefully no sequels) I would like to amend my review. While I stand by the fact that I don’t need to be called 8 times to confirm my appointment, Dr. DeLeon and her staff were extremely helpful through the remainder of my ordeal.
Had pain– got pain pills
Had potential infection (in my tooth, you pervs) — got antibiotics
Broke my foot right before Episode II– they put an ice pack on for me.
While I do not wish to repeat one iota of getting a root canal, in the long run, it wasn’t that bad.
But it could be the pain pills talking, you never know.

I wanted to join the chorus to say that Dr. de Leon is beyond rockstardom – she’s bordering on a deity.
Imagine the following: you go in for a root canal, dentist screws it up mid-​procedure, asks you to get out of the chair and down a few floors to go see a specialist, an endodontist. You arrive, quite terrified — as if a REGULAR root canal were not terrifying enough — and are utterly charmed and made to feel at ease by this remarkable woman who takes the time to explain to you, at length and with a great deal of compassion, humor, and blinding intellect, everything that’s happening.
It would be an utter pleasure — a pleasure! — to go get another root canal with this person.

Dr. De Leon is the kindest tooth-​professional I have ever met. Her work on a root canal was superb, and her bedside manner is the most caring I’ve ever experienced.
I would recommend my nearest and dearest to this wonderful woman.

I was referred to Dr De Leon by Dr. Velasco for a root canal. I was in a good deal of pain and she got me in at 8am this morning eventhough I had only been referred the day before.
I’m a total spazz at the dentist, hate going, am always white knuckling it through whatever they have to do. Dr. De Leon is the first to prescribe a valium and painkillers before I came in for my appointment. By the time my appointment started, I was feeling pretty good. Then they outfitted me with sunglasses, an iPod and numbed me liberally. I never thought it would be possible, but I actually fell asleep while she was woking.
As if all that weren’t enough, Dr. De Leon actually took the time to shape the temporary material so it doesn’t feel like anything was done at all. I simply cannot speak highly enough about her skill or the way she treats her patients. I’m never going to look forward to going to the dentist, but at least now I know I don’t have to dread it.
I should also mention that Amy is a rockstar. She went out of her way to bill my insurance (I’m double insured through my work and my husbands) so that I ended up with no copay.
