Juggling separate dentists for your kids, yourself, and your parents is its own kind of exhausting — different offices, different schedules, different people to explain your family’s history to over and over. A lot of families eventually go looking for one practice that can just handle everyone.
One Office, Every Age Group
The Dental Office Encino covers preventive care, general dentistry, cosmetic procedures, restorative work, and dental appliances — all under one roof. That means your kid’s cleaning, your own crown, and your parent’s denture fitting can all happen with the same team instead of three separate offices juggling three separate sets of records.
Three Decades of Treating the Same Families
Dr. Alan Howard has practiced dentistry for over 30 years, and his son, Dr. Yonatan Howard, now practices alongside him. The Dental Office Encino has served Encino and the surrounding communities — Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Tarzana, Woodland Hills, West Los Angeles, Calabasas, and Beverly Hills — since 1991. It’s not unusual here for a practice to have treated three generations of the same family.
Handling Nerves at Every Age
Kids get anxious about dental visits. So do plenty of adults who’ll never admit it. The office is set up to keep things calm for both, and the multilingual staff — English, Spanish, and Hebrew — means nothing gets lost in translation when someone’s trying to describe what hurts.
Prevention First, for Everyone
Twice-yearly cleanings and exams are the foundation of keeping cavities, gingivitis, and periodontal disease from developing in the first place — a rule that applies just as much to a six-year-old as it does to a grandparent.
When Something Bigger Comes Up
From cavities and gum issues to cosmetic work like bonding and veneers, to restorative procedures like implants and crowns, the same two doctors can handle whatever comes up as your family’s needs shift over the years — no new practice to vet, no new history to explain.
Scheduling for a Full Household
Office hours run Monday through Thursday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and Friday, 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM — flexible enough to work around school pickups and normal work weeks.
