Dr. Stephen
Kwon
Dr. Stephen Kwon is an endodontist dedicated to preserving natural teeth and relieving pain. Born in Seoul, South Korea, and raised on Long Island, Dr. Kwon combines clinical expertise with meticulous attention to detail, utilizing advanced technologies including dental microscopy and 3D imaging to provide the highest standard of endodontic care. He believes that exceptional care extends beyond technical expertise, striving to ensure patients feel comfortable, informed, and supported through personalized care and clear communication. His clinical focus includes:
- Root canal therapy and retreatment
- Complex and previously “hopeless” endodontic cases
- Dental microscopy for precision diagnosis and treatment
- 3D imaging (CBCT) for accurate case planning
- Pain relief and preservation of natural teeth
Outside of the office, Dr. Kwon enjoys going for a run, hitting the golf course, or experimenting with a new recipe in the kitchen — and he’s a longtime hip hop fan who used to write and record rap for fun. His favorite thing about NYC is its unique blend of culture, energy, and opportunity for exploration; a perfect day for him means a morning at The Met, discovering a new coffee shop, and a run through Central Park.
