Meet Your Dentist
Dr. Kelvin Chou
Dr. Chou is a board-certified endodontist, which means he specializes in treating infected teeth and their complications. His favorite part about his specialty is seeing patients get out of pain and smile proudly again.
As a conservative and restoration-focused dentist, Dr. Chou also always looks to preserve as much of your natural tooth as possible. He and our team will also work closely with your general dentist to ensure a smooth, fast, and simple tooth restoration process after your endodontic treatment.

Root Canals
If you have an infected tooth, a root canal is the best way to save your smile. In the root canal process, Dr. Chou will remove the infected material, fill up your tooth, and prepare it for a restoration such as a dental crown. The process is fast, painless, and prevents further complications due to tooth infections, such as tooth loss.
Endodontic Surgery
Along with routine root canals, we offer a variety of other endodontic surgeries including deep margin elevations, apicoectomies, and more. No matter how difficult your case may be, Dr. Chou combines his 15 years of experience with advanced dental technology to deliver the best possible results.
Retreatment
Root canals can fail if the infection isn’t completely eliminated the first time, a restoration like a dental crown fails, or for a few other reasons. If this happens, root canal retreatment may be necessary to clean out the tooth, restore it, and ensure that it stays infection-free in the future.
What Sets Us Apart
Care, Comfort, And Convenience
We understand that getting a root canal can be intimidating. By combining expert care with creature comforts and advanced technology, we keep our patients feeling safe and relaxed while delivering unparalleled levels of care.
Military-Inspired Values
Dr. Chou served in the Navy for more than 12 years. In his time treating his fellow service members, he learned the importance of honor, integrity, and serving others. While he may no longer be serving in the military, these values have remained with Dr. Chou, and ensure that you’ll get the very best care at Elite Endodontics of SD.
Cutting-Edge Technology
We have invested in the latest endodontic technology to ensure the best possible standards of care at our office. These include GentleWave root canal treatment, X-Nav guided surgery, our Biolase EpicX dental laser, and 3D CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging, among others. Dr. Chou is dedicated to combining cutting-edge dental tech with time-tested techniques for the best results.
Legacy of Innovation - Dr. Gary
Before Dr. Chou took over, Dr. Gary Carr ran our office. A world-renowned endodontist, Dr. Carr was responsible for introducing the use of CBCT scanning in endodontics along with many other innovations. Dr. Carr has entrusted Dr. Chou to continue his legacy of innovation by using the latest technology to provide an exceptional patient care experience.
Restoratively-Driven Endodontics
Along with eliminating tooth infections, Dr. Chou provides endodontic services with restorative treatment in mind. Unlike some other endodontists, Dr. Chou’s restorative-focused approach means you can typically skip additional prep appointments at your general dentist, have your tooth restored more quickly, and spend less time in the dentist’s chair.
