Beyond a comprehensive degree in dentistry, each of our root canal specialists has completed additional training in endodontics through a specialized, accredited residency. Our doctors are currently on faculty at leading dentalinstitutionsand provide training in our conference facilities for endodontists from around the U.S. on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and new treatment technologies.
Dr. George Jong received his Bachelor of Science degree in Neurobiology and Physiology in 2002 from The Honors College at The University of Maryland, College Park. He received his dental degree from The University of Maryland, School of Dentistry in 2008 and completed a general practice residency with a focus on surgery at the Baltimore Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Dr. Jong completed his post-doctoral residency in endodontics at New York University in 2012 where his interest in nerve regeneration led him to co-author two research papers that were published in the Journal of Endodontics.

The office is clean, professional, and has the state-of-the-art equipments. The staff is wonderful and the attention to patient comfort was first rate. Dr. Jong is very friendly and attentive. I really appreciate that he explains what he is doing during my treatment. He constantly checks to make sure that I'm still comfortable throughout the procedure. The root canal went very well and I had minimal discomfort. I will recommend this office to anyone in need.
I was sent to Dr. George Jong as an emergency case. He saw me immediately and cleaned out a very bad infection but noted it was so deep that it would take more treatment before the root canal could be completed. He checked in with me several times and even opened up the office at night the next day when it appeared the antibiotics were not working and the infection was spreading. He is quick, efficient, and very gentle. His staff likewise. I had no pain in the treatment and could relax in the chair knowing I was in good hands. I only wish he was qualified to perform surgery on my shoulder, I'd use him immediately, I have that much confidence in him. And, he never lectured me about waiting so long to get the infection treated! He and his staff are keepers, I highly recommend them.
The office is so modern and state of the art. I watched a dvd while he was working under the microscope and before I knew it, the root canal was done. The best part was the whole procedure was completely painless!I am so happy Dr. Jong is my endodontist.
It was great experience. He is very confident and knowledgeable. I didn't have any discomfort during and after my treatment. It was 2-3 years ago. Fast forward to now. My dentist's office took an X -ray last week. I didn't get comment because I didn't see my dentist. But I saw my X-ray of my root canal. It was just the same as if it was just done. Nothing weird showing at all. Hope you will have the same perfect experience with him as I had if you need a root canal.
When I first went to see Dr. Jong it was because I was in need of 3 root canals on the same side of my mouth. I had just left my previous dentist and was in search of someone that would make me feel comfortable. Dr. Jong listened to all of my concerns and was extremely patient and attentive.
I ended up doing all of my root canals with him and I did not feel any pain at all during any of the procedures. He takes his time and is very thorough. He will continue to review and correct his work until he is completely satisfied so you can be sure that you have received the best treatment.
The office is extremely clean and very organized. He followed up with me after all of my procedures which made me feel like he really cares. If you are in the DMV area I would highly recommend going to him. I am 100% confident in his abilities.
I managed to crack my tooth while enjoying a particularly hard bagel and ignored it. Which ended up with me having to get a root canal on my #15 and my favorite dentist in the whole wide world (Dr. Bonnie Lin) had recommended Dr. Jong. They both were in the same building so why not? I wouldn't need to drive out at all. Dr. Jong is extremely amicable and great to get along with. He fully explained what needed to be done and prescribed antibiotics to quell my infection that had began to start. The procedure itself was relatively pain free and they have films (Planet Earth, it's eight hours long ;)))) ) you can watch whilst getting the root canal. I have terrible gag reflex from both anxiety and things touching the back of my throat. However, with a film to watch and a rubber mat thing placed in the mouth to prevent things touching the throat, it helped reduce it significantly. His dental assistant was also super nice and I liked her a lot! The cost was also average for the area and makes sense for the quality of care I have received. Overall if I somehow messed up again, I would most certainly come back o Dr. Jong for another root canal.
I was on out of town business travel this week in DC when an excruciating toothache flared up in a tooth I had been previously advised might need a root canal. Being out of town, my primary dentist was unable to refer me to anyone in the area. I was extremely concerned about choosing the 'wrong' endodontist. I was desperate, and in my extreme discomfort I researched scores of local endodontist practices, and decided on Dr. George Jong of Bethesda-Chevy Chase Root Canal Specialists. It was a chance but one I had to take.
As soon as I walked in, I was relieved to see a first rate, spotlessly clean, professional office and was greeted by especially helpful staff. I was shown to the exam area which had all state of the art equipment, including video TV on the ceiling for the enjoyment of patients.
I was introduced to Dr. Jong who I cannot say enough about. He is one genuinely caring professional with a most calming demeanor who patiently explained everything to me before taking X-rays which were immediately shown to me on a big color screen.
We went forward with the root canal procedure and although I had only had one performed prior to this, it was as pleasant and painless as I could imagine it could be. Dr. Jong kept updating me throughout the process as he knew I wanted to be. I have to say the video on the ceiling was especially helpful in helping the time pass for me.
Upon completion, Dr. Jong again explained everything to me. In addition to his high level of professionalism, he is an exceptionally nice person. When I left, he provided me with his cell phone # and asked that I please call if I experienced any complications. (I haven't met another doctor who did that).
I highly recommend Dr. Jong and his staff if you need professional, caring and pleasant orthodontic care. He takes great pride in his work and it shows. I guess the only down side for me is that I will likely never see him again.
PS: When I returned to the Boston area and had the permanent crown completed by my (very particular) primary dentist, he made it a point to comment on what an exceptional done had been done on the root canal.
And I should know, as this was my third. (Sigh. Why is my mouth a war zone?) First one: not too bad, done by a small Persian man who kept saying, 'The root is dead!', but probably worse because I didn 't know what was coming. Second one: hell on earth, worst two hours of my life, done by an endodontist who clearly did not understand the first thing about his job and/or how to interact nicely with humans. Third one: was it even a root canal? Or was it a tiny pinch of Novocaine and then an astonishing wait for pain that never actually appeared? (And I 'm not just talking about physical pain -- how is it even possible that my bill was so low?) Dr. Jong, I know you admonished me for not flossing enough. But, honestly, I 'm almost tempted to ignore you just so I can come back. Almost.
I am an RN and I have a mouth full of root canals by various endodontists over the course of my 50 years. Most recently I had a horrible experience somewhere else. Enter Dr. Jong. He is a thoughtful, clinically outstanding endodontist who is patient-centered. He involved me in decision-making regarding the retreatment of my tooth. Once we decided the best course together, he treated me right there and then - painlessly! My tooth feels so much better, and I am grateful for his skill and compassion. I recommend him without reservation.
I was told I might need a root canal months ago - but I definitely didn't want to rush in unnecessarily if it wasn't absolutely needed - and luckily I didn't have the pain that causes most others to need to find someone immediately. I went to 4 other places prior to meeting Dr. Jong and as soon as I met him I felt at ease and knew I was in the right place. He spent a lot of time with me listening to my history, performed tests and did an x-ray and determined that it definitely had been 'curtains' for my problem tooth with the abscess above it. When the icy swab placed on surrounding teeth caused immediate sensitivity but that one was basking happily in the cold it couldn't feel, along with the review of the x-ray and my other symptoms - we decided together it was time to schedule the root canal. Dr. Jong explained all aspects of the upcoming procedure and spent the time to answer any questions I had, putting me completely at ease.
I can't say I hope I have a need for additional root canals - but if I do, I will definitely return to see Dr. Jong. I wish they offered other dental services in their office because it was a nice soothing environment and I would go there for every dental need, but it is solely endodontics. It is their specialty...and it shows.

I am very impressed with Dr. Mischenko, with her professional skills and knowledge as well as with her great personality. She worked hard on my complicated tooth and the results are perfect. Thank you Anastasia!
I had a really good experience here with my root canal.Although the tooth was excessively damaged (I think by the other dentist who did the Crown).All of my interactions with Dr. Mischenko were very professional and informative.
Dr. Mischenko was such an incredible help to me by explaining very clearly my options and treatment. She was very informative, very professional, friendly and genuinely dedicated to providing the best possible dental care. Her staff is very helpful, clearly committed and dedicated to their patient care values.
I am happy to come to their office because I am always well treated and I am confident any dental problem I might have will be taken care by Dr. Mischenko. I am extremely happy that I found their practice and look forward to a great and long relationship!
I cannot say enough great things about Dr.Mischenko and her stuff!! Truly amazing! Her office so neat and organized! The entire process from start to end was completely painless. I highly recommend Dr. Anastasia Mischenko for any root canal needs. She is the best doctor!!!
Let me preface this review by disclosing that I am a dentist. As a general dentist, I've been referring patients to Dr.Mischenko for the past 5 years. He work is excellent and the patient's always have great feedback. So when I figured out that I needed a root canal (yes, even dentists have dental problems), Dr. mischenko was the first person I called. I was very impressed with the care I received today. The evaluation was very thorough and included a 3d xray which Dr. Mischenko has on site. The injection was painless and the anesthesia was profound. The entire procedure went smoothly and quickly. I was even able to doze off for a bit.
