Dr. Jeff Buizastrow, DDS, MSD

Endodontist

Dr. Jeff Buizastrow was born in Saigon, Vietnam and raised in Southern California. His mother brought him and his sister to the United States in search of a better life; her intelligence, hard work, and compassion continue to inspire him every day.

Dr. Buizastrow earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University College of Dentistry, where he was selected for the Honors Special Patient Care Elective. This program was the first of its kind and provided comprehensive oral health care for patients with advanced disabilities throughout the tristate area.

At NYU, he developed a strong interest in technology and dental materials research, contributing to a study on CAD/CAM Zirconia that was published in the Journal of Dental Materials. After dental school, he completed advanced training at the East Orange Veterans Affairs Medical Center in New Jersey, where he provided comprehensive dental care to U.S. veterans. It was during this time that he discovered his passion for endodontics and the rewarding challenge of relieving pain while saving natural teeth.

Following his residency, Dr. Buizastrow practiced as a general dentist in the Greater Los Angeles and Orange County areas for one year. He then pursued his Master of Science in Dentistry and Endodontic Specialty training at Loma Linda University. His master’s thesis, “Impact of Maxillary Sinus Mucosal Thickening on Endodontic Outcomes: A Retrospective CBCT Cohort Study,” is pending publication in the Journal of Endodontics.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Buizastrow enjoys exploring new restaurants, walking around the city, and attending music festivals with his girlfriend.
