Pacific Endodontics Monterey: Root Canal & Surgery - Jason W. Kwok DDS, Eric Carl Appelin DMD & Ricardo J. Wassmer DDS, MS

Endodontists handle the procedures most people hope they’ll never need—root canals, retreatment, and surgical fixes for teeth that have gone past the point of a filling. Monterey has its share of dental specialists, though few focus solely on saving teeth rather than replacing them. Pacific Endodontics Monterey operates from a quiet stretch of Pacific Street, just blocks from the wharf where the sea lions nap.

At 971 Pacific St, the practice is run by three clinicians: Jason W. Kwok, Eric Carl Appelin, and Ricardo J. Wassmer. Between them they cover root-canal therapy, endodontic microsurgery, cracked-tooth diagnosis, and emergency treatments for traumatic dental injuries. The office also handles apicoectomies—surgical removal of the root tip—when conventional root canals aren’t enough.

Neighborhoods around Fisherman’s Wharf tend to blur the line between tourist hustle and local routine. Pacific Endodontics sits in that in-between zone, close enough to the water that the salt air lingers but far enough inland to feel like part of the everyday fabric. Patients come from Carmel, Seaside, and beyond, though the address itself is easy to overlook if you’re not looking for it.
