Hossein Jahangiri, DDS

Always be wary of dentists recommending procedures that may not be necessary. Below is a side view of the failed root canal on my front top incisor performed a month before by Dr. Hossein JAHANGIRI from San Clemente Dental Associates (also Southern California Family Dentistry). This was done at the same time that Dr. J was extracting a tooth where another recent root canal had failed. In the image, you can see the (white) gutta percha filling jutting out through the perforation he drilled right out the front of the tooth into the surrounding tissue. This now requires several lengthy and expensive oral surgeries by a qualified Endodontist (this x-​ray alone cost me $ 200). Fortunately, I changed dentists a month after the procedure and the new dentist referred me right away so I may still be able to save this tooth. Although I am understandably disappointed with his work, my main concern and what drove me to write this review is that Dr. Jahangiri failed to notify me of this complication (perforation) when it occurred, which I believe was his duty to do under the circumstances.
