I’ve been good to Drs. Alan and Yoni Howard for years. I have no hesitation in recommending my family and friends to go to them because of their skill and use of the most up-to-date dental equipment. The dental hygienists and entire staff are also all first rate. More
First time patient here! The moment I walked through the front doors, I felt like I was in an alternate reality. Literally 5 different employees greeted me one right after the other. I have never felt more welcome anywhere in my life. "What IS this place?" I thought to myself. I sat in the waiting area next to the fish tank and enjoyed watching the fish swim around while I waited. A few moments later, I was brought back into the back of the office and to the chair where my cleaning would take place. Rachel took amazing care of me! She noted that they had Netflix and Hulu if I wanted to watch anything during my cleaning and mentioned that the chair had a massage feature if I wanted to use it. Wait, was I at the dentist or the Ritz Carlton? Whaaa? The office was so clean and organized I was overall just so impressed. Each dental patient is in their own area, but the areas are not walled off. So it’s private enough, but you might hear someone else talking to the dentist about a hole in their mouth (true story). I cannot sing Rachel’s praises enough. She explained everything SO thoroughly and really took her time during my cleaning. I thought it was really cool that they include an oral cancer screening during the exam, I had never had that done before! After my cleaning, I was able to meet Dr. Howard and Yoni (also Dr. Howard), the father and son that run the business. They are SO nice and attentive. They were fantastic with breaking down everything on my xrays and explaining what was going on in terms I could understand. I even went home with a little goodie bag that included a cute branded chapstick. After the appointment, one of the receptionists walked me through my bill/estimates for future appointments in this fancy private conference room. I’m telling you, I almost felt like I was at a spa. I’m coming back for sure! More
Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to, and they offer everything! Dr. Yoni went so far above and beyond that I can’t even begin to describe how thankful I am. The whole office is world class - all of the staff is incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable and the office is completely state of the art and REALLY nice and comfortable. From TVs on the walls to 3D printers in the back and everything in between, you just know walking in the door that you’re going to be well taken care of. After not seeing a dentist for over a year due to the pandemic (and seeing a few lousy ones before that) I decided to come here to take care of a handful of things that I had been putting off - and as of today - after a few visits over the past few weeks - Dr. Yoni and the team finished all of their great work in my treatment plan and I couldn’t be happier. Thanks so much Dental Office Encino and see you in 6 months for my cleaning! HIGHLY recommended - seriously, you don’t need to look for another dentist ever. More
The dentists at The Dental Office Encino always listen to me and focus on my needs. They educate me on what work my teeth require and why, in detail. They respect my time, understand my resource circumstances, keep a very clean office, and value me as a patient. They use only updated, top-of-the-line equipment. The staff is the best team I’ve ever seen, plus they regularly follow-up with me. If you’re not using The Dental Office Encino as your dentists, then, why bother..........just sayin’..... More
I have literally been to 8 different Dentists in Los Angeles. There has always been something off that made me move on. I finally found Dr. Alan Howard and his son, Dr. Yonatan Howard at The Dental Office Encino and I am happy to say that I am done searching! Dr. Alan Howard is a legend in dentistry and was very helpful and patient with me when I originally met with him about a possible LANAP procedure. He put me at ease and informed me that I wasn’t yet a candidate for the procedure. Instead of trying to sell me on something I didn’t really need, he was honest and suggested an alternative approach. His son, Dr. Yonatan is my regular Dentist now. Don’t let his youthful appearance fool you. He really knows his craft and the technology they use is truly cutting edge. I had several Onlays performed there by Dr. Yonatan and it is amazing how they fabricate the new tooth on site. I have had the Onlays for over a year and they feel stronger than a regular tooth with no sensitivity. I highly recommend an Onlay as it keeps more of the original tooth in tact opposed to a traditional crown. Most dentists don’t do Onlays because the equipment is highly specialized but The Dental office Encino does. My Hygienist Claudia is also highly recommended, very gentle and professional. The office is extremely clean and modern with a spa like environment. The staff is courteous and friendly. There is off street parking for the patients and they send you gentle reminders in advance so I never miss an appointment. I never thought I would say this but I actually look forward to going to the dentist now! More
I had my first appointment yesterday and everyone was so nice and helpful! Yesterday was the first time I actually felt hopeful about having a great smile in the future. Dr Yonatan explained what needed to be done and my options.He actually has a plan for helping me. I didn’t feel like my appointment was being rushed. I felt calm and relaxed! I look forward to getting started More
This is THE BEST OF THE BEST IN DENTISTRY!!! Actually I’m coming all the way from NY to fix my teeth here, because I know they will always do a GREAT JOB! I’m an actress/model and my smile is very important for my job!!! HIGLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE. And The team is AMAZING!!! More
Grateful. I’ve had a bad experience at the dentist’s office when I was a child and that has made me very nervous as an adult patient. Dr. Alan Howard’s staff was extremely prompt, John at the front desk would text to get me on the calendar or always be available by phone, no long waits. I needed the dreaded root canal, they got me in promptly and Dr. Alan made feel comfortable prior to the procedure and during. I went back for a chipped front tooth and after years of not being proud of my previous "average" job I saw a WORLD of difference with the redone chip in my front tooth. I’m actually showing off my smile now. It wasn’t painful, or nerve wrecking, just a superior job I’m proud of with the correct matching of my natural tooth color which previously they had gotten wrong and I just didn’t know better. Wish I had found them years ago. Go see Dr. Alan, you won’t regret it. More
All year I put off my regular cleanings due to COVID fears, but I needn’t have worried. I visited yesterday and am so glad I did. The staff at the office were vigilant, and the experience reassuring. Also, I’ve had several crowns replaced here in the past few years, and the whole process is done in one sitting! Great work! More
This dental office is the best. Everyone is professional, friendly, and efficient. Brittany is the best hygienist I have ever had. She truly cares about her patients. My husband and I have been going here for about 15 years. Would not consider ever going elsewhere. More
I’m never disappointed at the Dental Office. It is just so refreshing from the atmosphere coming in the door, to the teeth cleaning and Drs chairs in the back. They make you feel right at home and are truly so gentle with their work! I didn’t feel a thing with my cleaning. And my teeth were so beautiful after, thanks Britni! Afterwards, Dr. Y took care of some cavities, which was painless and so fast. Highly recommend. More
5+++++ Stars for Dr.Howard & his Team! My first visit was in Fall of 2018. The staff gave me a “Tour”’of the space which I likened to a Private Jet - seriously! The open-space areas for treatment, decor, comfort & ease are just the beginning. The process of their endless variety of treatments is state-of-the-art. They are mindful of jittery patients (like me) & approach the issue with gentleness & compassion. I typically get my quarterly-cleaning done by Adrineh Krikorian who is gentle & thorough with a professional & caring approach. I also appreciate that she never lets me leave without scheduling my next appointment well in advance! It is clear to me they (the Dr.Howards) treat their staff AND patients as family. I would (& DO) recommend Dr.Alan Howard’s office to anyone looking for a great dental experience, words NOT typically used by patients putting off dental care! They ROCK! More
I am so impressed by this office. I had a terrible tooth ache and the 2 offices I called before couldn't care less. When I called Dr. Howard's office, they were so caring and timely. When I came in for my appointment, I was blown away by the protocols they have in place during Covid. I felt so safe and comfortable in the office. Dr. Y took amazing care of me. He made me a ceramic crown in 1 hour, no temporary and no second visit. I couldn't even tell it wasn't my natural tooth. The technology is out of this world and to be honest, the price was very reasonable for the amazing finished product. I'm honestly excited to come back for my cleaning and regular check up. Thank you so much to the entire office for your hard work! More
A bit of a background before i begin. :-) My experience with dental offices in general began when i was 5. Yep, 5 years old and already needing fillings. Place this child in a Soviet Russia and you will get a good idea why i have been traumatized by visits to a dentist and carried my anxiety throughout my whole life UNTIL i discovered Dr. Alan and Dr. Yoni’s office!! Words could not decribe my relief and excitement when after my first dental work with them i walked away WITHOUT a locked jaw! And each time some work was needed, there was no pain during or after! And everything was done so quickly and so efficiently! The equipment they have is the top of the line, so there is never a need to wait or to return for the second part of the procedure, everything is done right there and then! The entire team is efficient and knowledgeable! My only regret is that i haven’t found you guys sooner!!! I love how kind and attentive everyone is! I wish i was more verbose in describing how i truly feel about this gem of a dental office, but words fail me and all i can add is that my heart is overflowing with love and gratitude and i will be forever grateful for everything you guys do and the way you do it! More
AMAZING experience from start to finish!! From the moment I called to ask questions and book my appointment, the staff was extremely helpful, personable and professional. Their intake forms are all submitted to you via email in advance so that you can complete them in your own time and safely (avoiding unnecessary paper handling due to COVID-19). I was also emailed and texted reminders and parking instructions beforehand! Upon entering the office, I was warmly greeted and the receptionist took care of me quickly. I was given a tour of the facility and instructed on how to follow all COVID safety measures. Each patient’s space has a massage dental chair and a TV with various streaming platforms to watch your favorite programs while you wait to be seen. The technology they use for x-rays, imaging and dental photos is high-end and high definition. You can view all of the appropriate dental images on the TV in front of you which is very convenient too!Dr. Howard was very friendly, honest and knowledgeable about what exactly was necessary for my teeth. I’ll admit that it had been a longggg time since I’ve been to the dentist, but Dr. Howard did not judge or criticize me at all. He and the dental hygienist, Brittany - were very kind, gentle, speedy, thorough and transparent about what was needed. They made sure my insurance went through, gave me an estimate of future work that needed to be done and scheduled me for my next cleaning.I would highly recommend The Dental Office of Encino to any and everyone!! They are safe, friendly and fun! More
I love this office! Have been coming here for years for dental work and cleanings twice a year because everyone who works here is so friendly and super efficient. Equipment is high tech too. Have told many people about this great business. They even do crowns while you relax in the chair watching TV. No need to come back for another visit. All done at one sitting. Fabulous in my opinion! More
Had an overall check-up and cleaning for my first visit. EVERYONE was so nice and valued me as a client. The office is spotless, the smiles, endless, the equipment is top of the line and the most current I've ever seen, and the TVs have smooth, calming scenes throughout, running non-stop. My next visit was to get a new crown after eliminating the decay underneath my old crown. Dr. Howard came in and said he didn't need to use any Novocaine (Maybe HE didn't). I envisioned my day numb and drooling over everything all day after my appointment, but NO! I didn't need any medication at all, plus my permanent crown was created and replaced my old crown during the same appointment! See, I told you this was AMAZING! If you don't go to the Dental Office Encino with Dr. Howard, then why bother going to the dentist at all! Just sayin'. Thanks more than a million! More
When I opened my business next door to these good people, they became my dentists. I didn't do any research - I want exclusively with proximity. And they've been great! Offices are beautiful, the care is great. Twice a year cleanings and got veneers to replace two teeth that had been chipped for decades! No upsell on any services. Just good people doing great work. Thanks!!! More

First time going to the dentist in like 4-5 years and this office worked around my schedule which was very helpful. So friendly and kind, he was very honest about my X-rays and we got my cavity taken care of the next day! If there is any spot I would honestly recommend to anybody would be this place . I WILL be back . Thankyou guys so much happy holidays More
What an extraordinary dentist! I had an emergency...my front tooth broke off and I was leaving on a trip the next day, Sunday. Dr. Alan Howard opened his office on a Saturday night and in one hour I had a beautiful new crown. True, he is my regular dentist but still who does that...comes in on a Saturday night to fix a tooth?! What an amazing dentist! The Best! Highly highly recommend! More
Recently was looking for a new dental office, as I was looking through yelp reviews I found that this office had a lot of good reviews. I took a chance and went in for a dental and was very pleased with the services from the front desk people, a guy and a girl very nice people who helped me get all my information I needed, to the staff which was very nice to the Dr's and younger Dr. who seen me and updated me on my teeth and what needed to be done. Also, the dental hygienist who cleaned my teeth did a very great job. Overall great experience and very family environment which I would recommend more people and my family as well as they are looking for new dentist. Great job to the Doctors who are running a great dental office! More

I've been going to the dental office for years now and every single member of the team is not only very professional but so kind and caring. I always feel taken care of when I make a visit and that everyone always has my best interest in mind. Both Drs Alan and Yonatan Howard are amazing at what they do and I'm always happy with their work. One of the best choices I ever made was to get my vaneers. I've always had small teeth and now my teeth look so beautiful (and natural!). I always get compliments on my teeth and it's all thanks to the amazing staff at the dental office. More

I have no words to describe my experience!!! Fist off the front desk when you call is soooo sweet and it's not easy to find people that make you feel so comfortable JUST over the phone! I made an appointment looking for someone new after going somewhere 15 years! Upon walking in I was thinking what a dump I was going too. You are immediately greeted but i mean immediately with friendly staff and all smiles! Once signed in they literally gave me a tour of the place and wow talk about technology and getting everything you need done in one spot! After the tour I got to actually meet with Dr. Howard and talk to him about everything on a one on one verses just meeting your dentist while your all prepped with mouth wide open! It truly was a great experience! The dental hygienist was amazing and super gentle not to mention full of food for thought on my actual teeth and good things for me to know for the future! All in all i can't say enough about this place!!! Super hi tech, friendly staff, not to mention SPOTLESS and did I mention they offer drinks and yummy popcorn! Yes, popcorn the dentist! More

Best dentist office I've ever been too. I recommend this place to all that need a dentist. They make implants/fillings on site so you don't have to deal with temps. Super nice staff, clean, and they know what they're doing. My husband's other dental office said he needed a lot of unnecessary work. He got another opinion here and they disagreed! They're honest! Come here, you won't regret it! Thank you guys! More

Everyone at The Dental Office was extremely helpful with my process and they are very good about appointment reminders with my busy schedule! Dr. Alan Howard was incredibly thorough in getting me started with my Invisalign. I’m excited to see the changes and improve my smile for good. I’d like to thank them for improving my perspective about going to the dentist. I’m so grateful I found them! More
I want to let everyone know what an amazing experience I had at Dr Alan Howard’s office. I want to start by saying before I even went to Dr Howard I went to three other dentist and they all lied to me. They tried to sell me on various different procedures that I didnt need and all would have cost me a lot of money even with my insurance. I was really losing faith that I would find a real honest dentist that help me with the problems I was having and not try to sell me something else. My teeth and gums were very sensitive, I was grinding my teeth and so my front teeth were short and very sensative. He saw me and explained the process he would do to get my teeth looking actually perfect and fix the sensitivity. He put veneers to fix my short, sensitive teeth, whitened and cleaned all my teeth to match making my smile looking perfectly shaped and white. I won’t forget to mention his staff who is amazing from the girl that greets you soon as you walk in to the dental hygienist. The manners and professionalism is a standard that all other dentist should strive to meet. Dr Howard’s 30 plus years as a dentist shows as he is in the business to make perfect smiles. I finally know that not all dentist are only trying to sell you procedures you dont need as both his honesty and end results have proven nothing less then superior to others. More

What a wonderful experience I had at The Dental Office in Encino! I called regarding a dental emergency & Dr. Alan Howard himself spoke to me on the phone AND squeezed me in for a next day visit - the day before a holiday! Who does that??! From the minute I arrived, I was warmly welcomed at reception and felt very comfortable. The office is beautiful with state of the art equipment - not your ordinary, scary dentist's office! TVs to watch while in the chair and a professional, attentive and friendly staff. Even the x-ray technician was amazing! Dr. Alan Howard is kind and gentle. Although I didn't have any procedures performed yet, he reassured me and advised me regarding what I need to do for healthier teeth. I am so thankful I found Dr. Alan Howard and this wonderful practice. I know I will be taken care of here and am confident that they are the best of the best. GO to this dentist - you will be happy you did!! More

Words cannot describe how happy i am to find this gem of a dental office! Dr. Howard Jr. is so understanding and attentive and everyone in the office is just wonderful! The office even has the homely feel to it and the equipment i was shown during the tour (oh, yes, they give you the tour of the office before you get to meet the doctors!) is top notch and everything is available to get your dental needs addressed in one visit without any delays and wait time! My only regret is that i haven’t found you guys sooner! Thank you for being so caring and efficient and so available! My problem could absolutely wait, but i was accommodated the very next morning after my initial call for an appointment with consultation and imaging review that was done right there and then! Will be recommending this office to everyone in need of a remarkable and outstanding service! More

The office itself is very clean and the staff is very nice. As soon as you get your seat they have a TV that you can watch anything you want. The appointment itself was quick and painless! The fastest filling I’ve ever had and experienced no pain. The teeth cleaning was also great and they took their time to make sure that everything looked good. Overall it was the best dental experience that I ever had. More
I had a great first experience at The Dental Office Encino. I don’t have dental insurance so I was looking for a place I could get a good deal on cleaning and xrays. This office is very pretty and has lots of great features like the fact that they can make a crown for you same-day so you’re not waiting weeks for one and living with a temporary. Overall I’d highly recommend this office to anyone. More

This office is amazing. Dr Alan Howard is brilliant! I could not be more grateful, When he kindly took me on and repaired the horrible veneer work I had done at another dentist. I had dark spots on my brand new veneers and they looked like dentures , from the first awful dentist. I was in the dental chair for 8 hours at a time. 2 hours with Dr Alan. I was so scared to trust again. But Dr Alan handled me with care and compassion. It's been a breeze comparatively to the last dentist. Having to remove all the veneers placed by last dentist. Dr Alan did that painlessly, and my new veneers are gorgeous! I'm eternally grateful to him and his wonderful talented son that is also a dentist in the office. You could not find a more honest caring place! You can feel safe and secure that you will receive the best and newest technology available at this office. The staff is amazing also! Anonymously yours...x More

I’ve been a patient for years. Both doctors are fabulous. They take their time with you, make you feel comfortable, and have a very light touch when they are working on your teeth. I trust both of these doctors and travel from Ventura to see them because, in my opinion, they are the best. The staff is great. More
this dental practice is wonderful! Dr. Howard is spectacular, he is a great dentist who has amazing bedside manor. I've had him as my dentist for a long time now and my teeth have never looked so good. He has the newest technology and gives the best advice when it comes to flossing and brushing. More

I called in the morning after I had an accident that broke off both front teeth. The staff was so caring and understood the urgency so they fit me in that day (within a few hours). Dr. Howard immediately placed composites and shaped and sculpted teeth from me so I didn't feel pressure about my permanent fix options. He felt that if he talked about options and price while I had teeth missing, I would jump at it because of how desperate I would be to fix what is a pretty important feature of my face (especially being the front teeth). He also didn't charge me for the composites and just asked that I think about what I really wanted to do. He was very sweet and compassionate. He provided his number if I had concerns and even asked that my Orthodontist cousin give him a call so he can explain the breaks and the cosmetic/treatment options. His friendly staff and himself gave several follow up calls to make sure I was not in any pain. I am happy to have found a new dentist and have been referring them to my clients since. More

I recently went to Dr. Y and he was great. Both him and his staff are great. I can’t say enough good things about my visit.Both him and his dad provide great service. I had a root canal done and it was painless. I felt so at ease and even though I was nervous it was such an easy experience.I came back the next week and had a crown done in 1 visit using a computer. It was very cool and it looked so good I couldn’t tell even in my mouth.Highly recommend Dr Yoni and will bring my entire family. Thank you guys so much More

I'm so excited to finally have a dentist I love! I've been dentist hopping for years, but no longer! The entire staff is so friendly and the follow up is extremely impressive- you actually talk to the dentist on the phone when you need follow up. They're extremely honest and know what they're talking about. Thank you to both Dr. Howards for a great experience! More

In the office the atmosphere is very friendly, made me feel comfortable.Doctor Alan Howard, is an amazing specialist, doctor in his heart and soul. I felt safe in very good hands. More
Decided to switch dentists after my last one wasn’t meeting my expectations and made numerous errors. This place is awesome, it’s in a great location and is very easy to find. It is also very clean and the x-rays are a breeze here. They use massage chairs which is a plus. The hygienist is great and knows what she is doing. Dr. Howard is also great and very friendly. He doesn’t try to upsell anything, he gives you facts, his best judgement and the rest is up to you. More

After going thru numerous dental offices over the years- this is THE BEST! Can’t say enough good things: Everyone is ALWAYS nice and welcoming The office is ALWAYS clean and organized. You NEVER have to wait- they take you in at the time of your appointment. Prices are fair and affordable. I’ve NEVER felt as if an unnecessary treatment is being offered to me. Brittany and both Doctors are truly awesome!!! More
The service I’ve received here is IMPECCABLE! I have an extreme case of dental anxiety but Dr A. Howard is the best dentist I’ve ever had....and by a long shot. He put me at ease and very thoroughly explained the extensive work I needed to have done step by step. My crowns were made in office and permanently cemented in the same appointment. The front desk team is amazing. Lauren was very kind and helped make sure I understood everything. The dental assistants were just dolls! Genevieve and Maribel helped keep me laughing and distracted and comfortable while my crowns were being made. I’m so happy I found this practice. They truly care. Thank you guys! More

I have been going to dr. Howard for well over 10 years. I have had work done by both of the doctors- both outstanding. Naturally was a bit nervous about the root canal and extraction. Pleasantly surprised that they were done with minimal discomfort. Both docs are friendly and knowledgeable , as is the entire staff from my experience. Can’t say enough positive things about them or the staff, and thats not just the nitrous talking. More

I went to The Dental Office Encino for a second time -- this time was for a semi-annual cleaning. The sensational Adrineh was off today, but I received another exceptional cleaning from the equally talented Britni. I commend her for her meticulousness, kindness, precision, and care. These two hygienists are genuine standouts! I kid you not, these women are the Electra Woman & Dyna Girl of dental hygienists. And the icing on the cake was that the father and son team of Howard & Howard made a cameo appearance and chatted with me. Everyone in the office was very warm and welcoming to me. Five stars! More
This is the most up to date Office I've ever seen. They have so much cool technology and compassion. I felt so conformable in-spite of my Dental fears I was able to have a crown done same visit in one hour and it looks just like my tooth! Dr Alan and dr Yoni were phenomenal in their approach and professionalism. The staff was so nice and britni was awesome. Thank you! More

This office offers the best of dentistry. They take care of me and my family. First time I was here I was extremely frightened and in awful pain. They were so good understanding my fright and I did not feel anything and had no more pain. I love coming here More
The best dentist office I've been to. Dr. Howard goes out of his way to please his patients! He is so knowledgeable and professional! The staff is very personal and friendly, the office is beautiful! I've been coming here for 2 years and I HIGHLY recommend it to everyone. The prices are on little higher side, but it's worth every penny! I had experiences with "cheaper"dentists but in the end I wound up paying 3 times more to redo all the work they did wrong. You get what you pay for!! More

Dr. Howard is a wizard!! I came in with cavities in both of my wisdom teeth and they accepted me on very short notice! Got the teeth pulled with literally zero pain!! I also have a pretty bad gag reflex so I have a hard time taking xrays but they have an awesome machine that scans around ur head so no gag!! The place is very clean and lots of parking in the back! The staff is very kind and fruliendly!! I will definitely recommend them to friends and family! More

Last week I had my teeth cleaned by Britni who did a great job. X-rays revealed two cavities. I just had those two cavities filled today, and two small silver ones replaced, and it was the best experience I’ve had getting cavities filled. Dr. Yonatan Howard did an excellent job, and he and his entire crew were friendly and caring throughout the entire procedure. A big plus is the massage dental chair and a big screen with cable TV. The front office is friendly and accommodating, the waiting room is nice with a cool fish tank, and the entire place has a high-tech, and clean modern vibe. I highly recommend this place for dental work and cleanings. I used to be afraid of going to the dentist...not anymore. More

Amazing. I am the biggest chicken when it comes to the dentist but Doctor Howard was fantastic. I had to get a chipped tooth fixed and dreaded doing it for a long time, but I’m glad I got my work done here. Even the needle was painless! Highly recommend. More

Prior to seeing Dr. Yoni Howard, I had some bad experiences with other dentists in the valley. My experience at Dr. Howard's office was fantastic. From the moment I made the appointment to the time I left his office, every aspect of the experience was spot on. The staff was courteous, friendly and very helpful. The hygienist was meticulous, professional, and technically superb. The exam by Dr. Howard was the most thorough dental evaluation that I have ever had! He is extremely knowledgeable, up-to-date on the latest dental advances, and has one of the best bedside manners that I've seen in a healthcare professional. I would give more stars if Yelp allowed me! More

I have been a patient here for the last several years (just had a cleaning today!), and have always had a 5-star experience. They have been great with accommodating my schedule, and the staff has always been professional, courteous, and easy to talk to. Prior to coming to Dr. Howard, I had some pretty bad experiences with dentists, and had a lot of anxiety about getting dental work done. Now, I actually feel comfortable and calm about coming to the dentist, all thanks to the folks at this office. I'm in a position where I need to get a significant amount of work done to my teeth due to damage that has been done as a result of my own neglect. I look forward to continuing to work with Dr. Howard and his staff to get my smile where I'd like it to be. More

Very knowledgable and experienced staff, Wait time was next to nothing. The doctor took his time to explain what was going to happen with the treatment plan he developed and to answere any questions or concerns I had, very seldom do you see a dentist that cares about helping people and the quality of the work he puts out. The office is state of the art with lots of little perks to help you feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend this office. More
i have been with Dr. Howard for the past 20 years. he is a top notch. knowledgeable, sensitive , caring and above all he always thrives to bring the newest technology to his practice.from the moment you enter his office you are greeted with a smile by Christie the office manager.every person who works there gives you all the attention you expect and deserves.highly recommend him. try it, you would never go anywhere else.P.S my son comes from NYC just to be treated by Dr. Howard.

They are best, the office is the most modern high tech dental office. The staff was great and I am frightened. The doctors father and son are amazing. They have a passion for dentistry and are completely honest. On my first appointment we sat down they explained different options and benefits. They really made me feel comfortable. The treatment was painless. I am referring all my friends and family. More

I met doctor Alan Howard 10 years ago when I came to his office for veneers (see photo).Now, his son Yoni Howard is taking care of me. I moved to LA but still coming to this office. All staff is super nice. Never had a problem to get an appointment would it be urgent or regular check up. I love the atmosphere in the office. Its very relaxing. More

I'm so glad I found Dr Alan Howard and his son Dr. Yonatan Howard. Both are excellent dentists, warm, friendly, knowledgeable and highly competent. Their office has the latest state of the art dental technology, including 3-D imagery, which is important to me. I was referred to them by Millennium Dental Technologies in Cerritos, which did my laser gum surgery and trained their office in the fantastic LANAP procedure. I have a lot of bone loss from previous gum disease, and come by every three months for cleaning, and I've been more than thrilled at every level. The entire staff is lovely, fun and welcoming. Highly recommended! More

Seeing that the main reason I made my initial appointment here was because of the great reviews on Yelp, I had to leave one of my own. Made an appointment for my boyfriend and I for a cleaning and the first interaction with the staff over the phone was pleasant. They were friendly and more than happy to help me find an appointment time where both of us can visit together. I have always disliked dentist visits even for routine cleaning, which is similar to the feeling of most people, however my first visit was so great! The hygienist was gentle, attentive and thorough. I will say it was the best dental cleaning I have ever experienced. Had to go back for a small cavity :/ and despite my nerves it was also pleasant and easy. Dr. Y, Dr. Alan and the whole staff is simply amazing. You won’t regret visiting The Dental Office of Encino! More

Dr. A Howard and his staff are the best of caring folks I have yet to meet. Coming from a very traumatic experience through different dentist in my past I can finally say that I found my life long team of professionals who actually care! I came in and was greeted by Kristy with such a warm and welcoming presence, she gave me a tour of the office and explained to me the type of newer technology they use. I was excited! Then I had a one on one meeting with the Dr A. Howard himself to discuss my goals with my mouth, At that point I was in tears with unhappiness from my prior experiences with other dental offices. Dr. Howard cares whole heartedly as well as the dental assistant (Jose) if your looking for a place who genuinely cares about your well being while in the process of major dental work and gives you a hand to hold ask for Jose and see Dr. Howard and his team! I'm so happy to have found them here on Yelp!! More
I found the greatest team of caring professionals. If you hate going to the dentist you haven't met this awesome group. From the moment you enter the doors and are greeted by Kristy, you know you came to the right place. Both Dr Howards and their entire hard working staff are simply amazing! If your looking for the best - look no further. I would never go elsewhere. More

You can call me an anti dentite. Since childhood I fear dentists, as I grew up I learned to to live with them( and the help of laugh gas ). For the first time in my life I do not need laugh gas to survive this experience, dr yoni and dr Alan are equally great. Gentle hands ,progressive medicine, 0 pain, amazing staff, clean office.It’s amazing to see my 3 & 5 year old kids go through dental treatments without shedding a tear and leaving with a smile, I did not think its possible. It does not matter where we live, my family will always come here. More

Wow! I've never been happy to go to the dentist. I normally hate going to the dentist, but Dr Howard and his staff really know what they are doing. My uncle is a dentist, and I use to go to him. Every time I left it was painful, horrid and I would despise dentistry. DR Howard's office is right by my house, and decided to go there for some work. I was impressed. They accepted my insurance and took care of my teeth with absolutely 0 pain. I walked out of there smiling pain free. That staff is so friendly and the office vibe is great. Dr Howard is an amazing dentist, took care of my chipped tooth, and didn't feel a thing. I highly recommend them, and will only go here for future dental work. They provide excellent work , and really do care about their patients! More

I honestly could not say enough AMAZING things about the entire staff here!!! I’ve had horrible teeth and horrible dental experiences my entire life so visiting the dentist just sucks ... every time. After visiting Dr. Yonatan Howard for the first time, he’s made every single visit back just as pleasant as the first time. I had a list of things he wanted to do to get my teeth to perfect shape and I actually didn’t mind going to every appointment. I appreciate his thorough explanation of everything he’s going to do while always checking in to make sure I’m doing okay. More than anything, I appreciate his lack of "shaming" which I find that most dentists do.I personally have a high tolerance of pain -- but his technique to numbing you was TOP NOTCH. Throughout all the work I’ve had done, I just throw on my headphones and let them get after it with very little sign of pain.Other notes that made my experience enjoyable -- they were accommodating to my schedule and always worked with me. Most of my visits, I was able to get my permanents made there and it was SO nice to not have to come back multiple times.Also, the hygienist Britni is one of my absolute favorites of all time -- super sweet and does a great job. I would honestly refer everyone I know to them. More

I can not say enough wonderful things about The Dental Office of Encino. I have been a patient for almost 2 decades and now my son and my entire family are patients as well. Every single member of the staff is extraordinary! I have had some dental work done that involves numbing, drilling, and even rebuilding a new tooth. Every procedure was done in a timely manner and was not painful at all. Dr. Howard & Dr. Howard always make me feel comfortable and I go home with no pain and no complications. Their office is always clean, sparkly, and very serene. Everyone is friendly and very professional. I highly recommend them! More
What an amazing experience! More
I was referred here by my sister in law who has been coming for a while. I just needed a basic cleaning. It was so easy to make a convenient appointment, and when I arrived they didn't force me into any extras (like x-Rays or a consultation first). They really just quickly and efficiently gave me a deep cleaning that only took about 20 min. The space is very clean and the staff was perfectly friendly. Will definitely go back in 6 months! More

Honestly, best dentist out there. Their office is so clean and organized. It looks very modern and they are super nice! Dr. Yoni is my dentist and he makes every check up a breeze. I’ve been going since I was a kid, and I recommend them to all my friends and family. More

Today was the first visit to The Dental Office Encino. The office was beautiful and state of the art. I came to get my teeth whitened. Dr. Yonatan Howard met with me to explain the process. The technician was great and explained everything she was doing. It took only 1 hour. The best part of it all was, during the whitening process I was able to relax in chair and watch TV. After it was all done with, my teeth are definitely much whiter. I look forward to coming back for my next cleaning. More
Dr. Yonatan Howard is hands down, the best dentist I've ever been to. I had some concerns about my 1 year old daughters teeth and he put my worries to rest. Not only is the facility immaculate, state of the art, and welcoming but their staff is friendly and helpful as well. When we saw the Dr. he made my daughter feel at ease by relating to her and making her smile and feel as comfortable as can be. It was not at all how my first dentist experience was. My daughter was laughing with his assistant and not forced to do anything out of her comfort zone. He gave her a new toothbrush and she was sold! Seriously, I will never go anywhere else... this is the best place and you can't get better. Dr. Alan Howard also came in to introduce himself which he didn't need to do but they are so friendly and go out of their way to make you smile! More

Dr. Howard is amazing! I came in with a broken tooth and it was pretty gnarly. Dr Howard numbed me painlessly and made an onlay in one visit. He used their computer to make my tooth beautiful. I normally never leave Brentwood but for a of my dental needs I will gladly come to the valley for my teeth! More
Great dentists, very nice office space and the entire staff is very friendly. They have massage chairs which is awesome and makes the going to the dentist much more enjoyable. Also they have very nice tvs for you to watch while you're getting work done and the waiting room is very nice. More

Just had another cleaning here and Britni the hygienist was perfect. No pain, super nice and my mouth feels fantastic! I’m actually just waiting to be picked up and I can stay staring at the fish tank in the waiting room for hours. Just such a comfortablelace to be. Thank you More

Absolutely amazing experience every time!! I have been going to Dr. Alan Howard's office for many years and would never go anywhere else for my dental needs! Dr. Howard's experience, chairside manner, and quality of work are second to none. He has a wonderful, caring staff and a beautiful, modern office which makes you feel at home every time. His hygienist is absolutely phenomenal as well (even with my gum recession and sensitive teeth)! I recently moved to Northern California and literally drive 400 miles for my dental appointments!! Thanks, Dr. Howard, I am a patient for life!! More

I’ve been to a lot of dentists in my lifetime but Dr. Alan and Yonatan Howard are by far the best I’ve seen. Their office is state of the art, which saves time and money for the patient. All their office staff are well informed, attentive, and kind. I’ve had great experiences with both dentists and all their hygienists. I’ve had a variety of procedures performed at their office and all have been very pleasant experiences.What sets them apart is that they really their care about your overall oral health as opposed to just performing procedures. My teeth have never looked better and I have them to thank for it! Would highly recommend! More

I have been coming to dr Alan howard since I was a child. Now I see him and his son, I feel as though they are family. They have so much passion for dentistry, and the office has technology that you only read about. They just acquired a cone beam 3d X-ray unit which allows them to place implants without cutting into the tissue! Everything is done virtually on computer to prevent complications. Most of all they gave me a beautiful smile and truly care about me. I have referred friends and family and everyone loves them!!!!!! More

The staff at the Dental Office Encino has always provided me with the absolute best service that I've ever received at any dentist in LA. Everyone in the office is friendly and always willing to help make my experience as enjoyable and comfortable as it can be. More
I was told about Dr. A. Howard's practice by a friend. It seems like going to the dentist has never been my favorite thing and I had some hope this would be different than my past experiences. After one visit I was completely blown away!This place doesn't look like a typical dental office and it doesn't smell like one either! LOL. It is super clean and tastefully furnished, massage chairs and flat screen TVs in every room help you relax and enjoy your office visit.I was impressed by the caring, warm, and friendly environment that emphasizes quality, patient education and professionalism.Dr. A. Howard is an amazing dentist with a gentle touch and great bed-side manners.I am very pleased with the results! My veneers look amazing! No one could actually believe that the veneers could look that natural. I getting a lot of compliments on my new beautiful smile! Thank you Dr. Howard!! You've changed my life! Couldn't imagine myself going to any other dentist ever again! I would highly recommend this practice to my friend and family More
The Dental Office Encino is GREAT! Dr. Yonatan Howard is a great dentist. He explains what his doing very clearly and really keeps me calm. The office is very warm and inviting with family photos everywhere. They have TV's at each dental chair so you don't get bored during your treatment and everything is shiny and top of the line. More
Truly the best dentist I've ever been to, it's a happy, family atmosphere at the office. The staff is wonderful, from the administrators to the hygienists, and of course, Drs. Alan and Yoni Howard. I had two front teeth knocked out, and Dr. Howard was able to save one (and possibly both, more than a year later it's still doing well), despite the fact all the experts said it would fail and I would need two implants. You're in the hands of the very best at The Dental Office, it's a cut above the rest. More

I searched the internet for an office that can make crowns and overlays in the office and I glad I found Dr Yonatan Howard. I called the office on Monday and scheduled an appointment for Wednesday. When I met with him he was really friendly and went over my medical history. I have very high anxiety about going to the dentist and he made me feel calm. He took pictures and X-rays of my teeth and was wanted to save my teeth instead of getting 3 crowns. I went in 3 different times for each side of my mouth and front teeth. Each time was great, he was able to make make permanent overlays in about an hour and I left with no temporary anything. They are all very nice, professional, knowledgable and amazing! Thank you Dr Yonatan for everything! You will our dentist for a long time!This is the best dental office experienced! More

The best dental office. Amazing and gentle dentists. High tech spa like environment. They made me a front crown in one appointment using a computer for impressions. No pain!!!!!!i recommend them to all my friends and family. They are honest, explain, and they care. Most of all im the doctors are father and son and you feel good. More
I used a groupon here twice and was extremely impressed both times. Great dentists and staff, they actually spend time with you and address your concerns, there is almost no wait time and the dentist does most of the work instead of a hygienist. I will say that the hygienist, Esmeralda, who took my X-rays both times was amazing and this is the only dental office in years that I have been too where the X-rays were painless. Experienced and enthusiastic staff. More
This was the best experience I’ve ever had at the dentist. Dr. Howard, his son Dr. Howard, and his staff treat his patients like they are important and special and matter. I appreciated it so much. The girl at the front was so sweet and gave me a tour of the office and introduced me to everyone since I had never been there. His dental hygienist Liana (not sure if I spelled it correctly) is the ultimate professional. She explained everything before she did it, has a wonderful temperament, and is clearly a super smart lady. I never felt pressured to get any additional work or services, the options and recommendations were laid out to me simply and honestly. I usually just go to whichever dentist is closest to me and is offering a groupon, but I’m going to this office from now on. More

Came to this dentist office to do a couple things to my teeth. Both Doctor Howard's noticed that my root canal was not done correctly by my previous dental office. They helped me contact my last dental office as file a compliant. Most offices won't offer you any assistance as they did. Office is very clean. Front office is very attentive and cordial. Back office is extremely friendly and on point with any answers that come along with questions. My hygienists is very passionate and helpful with answering questions that I always have to ask when doing any procedures with my teeth. At the end of the day, I will continue to come here and I hope whoever is looking for a great place should come here too. By the way, I've been to at least 3 different dental offices in the last year. Glad I found one that I can trust. More

I rarely leave reviews and when I do it usually takes me a few weeks to remember but right now I am doing this because I am amazed by what an incredible human being Dr Howard is. My wife recently had a root canal done. The care she was and is given there is above and beyond. Both father and son treat you like you are family. Dr Howard values humans more then money and that is rare these days. Speaking of money! I have never seen an office with the newest technology like they have. Dr Howard uses a 3D printer to create your crown right there on the spot. I can on go and on but let me put it to you simply. I am 30 and my wife is 28, we have never experienced such wonderful kind and skilled Dentists before. More
I have been going to Dr. Alan Howard and his son for years, first starting when they were in their office in Tarzana. This new office is beautiful and the staff is always super friendly which makes the experience much more palatable. Dr. Howard has made crowns for me, matching the color of my other teeth, while I relax in the chair watching a flat screen TV. No more wearing a temporary crown that may fall off, or having to come back weeks later to install the new crown. Everything is done in one visit. Brittany does my teeth cleaning and does two cleanings - scaling and manual. She is very informative and friendly, showing me many new ways to take care of my teeth I was not aware of. I used to be an anxious dental patient until coming here but this office has all the state of the art equipment and methods to take away your fears. I would not let any negative comments on Yelp affect your decision not to at least try this place. One lady in the waiting room said she drives down from Thousand Oaks for years because she likes Dr. Howard so much. More

The entire team at the Dental Office is amazing. From the minute you walk in the door, you feel at ease. This is a stress free Dental Zone.

Thanks for after hour treatment. My daughter had a tooth abscess and was extreme pain. I called Dr. Allen Howard, and immediately offered to come in after hours. He was so nice and accommodating. He stayed late and even called another specialist to make sure that he was doing the perfect job for my daughter. I can't thank doctor Howard enough for going beyond what was expected from him to care for my daughter. More

Hands down the friendliest, most customer service driven dental office I've ever been to. The hygienist basically gave me "Dentistry 101." Lee Ann, I believe was her name. Honestly, it was like taking a class. Super helpful, and she seemed to appreciate my unconventional sense of humor. Brittany, who took my X-rays was equally nice. (BTW I know their names because they introduced themselves, which was shocking, in a good way:). Dr. Howard (the son, Yoni?) was extraordinarily good natured too. Smiley and friendly, and there was no pressure from anyone to get additional procedures. They made suggestions, but no one tried to strong arm me into services that I don't need. The office itself radiates "clean." It's sterile (as I prefer my health care providers' offices to be) but super tastefully decorated. The ladies restroom included. It's open, and the massage chairs are a definite bonus. Trust me when i say that I have never left a dentist's office and told everyone I knew they HAD to go there. But I did with Dr. Howard(s). The very obvious effort at treating customers with top of the line service is remarkable. More

I have been going to Dr Alan Howard for decades. he is one of the kindest men I have ever met. His dentistry is brilliant. He did all of my front veneers and I get compliments all the time. His son Yonathan works as his partner and is also excellent. A beautiful family business!!! More
The Dental Office Encino personnel are always friendly, welcoming and caring. I feel secured and relaxed due to the experienced dental staff using ‘state of the art’ equipment combined with relaxing spa-like ambience to the office. I have been a patient for many years and even after moving out of the area a few years ago would not consider going anywhere else as they keep my teeth in excellent condition!Margaret Hughes More
I went to Dr. Yonatan Howard because I was dissatisfied with my dentist and was searching for a new one. I hit the bull's eye! EVERYONE in this office is outstanding. Dr. Howard is gentle and thorough and he tells you what he's doing (that's important to me). There is a large flat-screen TV in each dental area. They make many of the dental accessories in their office so the turn-around time is very quick. Also, I went to a different doctor for an implant. That doctor failed...TWICE. The Dental Office succeeded in doing the implant on the first try. I highly recommend Drs. (Howard and Yonatan). This is truly the best dental experience I've ever had. If you want a very positive experience go see Dr. Howard. You'll be so happy you did! More

I will never entrust my teeth to another dentist ever again. Dr. Howard is kind, gentle, sensitive, intelligent, and makes you feel at ease. Their office is absolutely the most professional dental environment I have ever been in. They will not try to upsell you for unnecessary procedures like EVERY other dental office I've ever been to routinely do. Procedures were all painless and very skillfully done. Thank you Dr. Howard!!! More

I found dr Howard on yelp and used their $99 promotion to go in first time as a new patient. What a great experience. I use that word because it was just that, not a usual dr visit. Wonderful, polite and competent staff. I loved Brittany, my hygienist. She did such an amazing job and I was so relaxed I almost fell asleep. How often does that happen in a dental office? Dr Howard seems very honest and courteous. I will definitely refer family and friends to him. More
Dr. Howard and his staff are friendly, fun, and attentive. This state-of-the-art office is the most comfortable and luxurious dental office I have ever been to. I have had several cleanings and one minor surgery here. I had to have part of my tooth replaced. Rather than drilling and filling, Dr. Howard himself removed the piece of my tooth (apprx 30%) after taking a picture of the molar. He then took a picture of the molar with the piece removed. He superimposed both pictures together to create a 3-D computer representation of the piece of tooth removed. He then was able to cut a porcelain cube ONSITE to match the piece of my tooth missing, and then bond it to my tooth. I had a terrible cavity replaced with porcelain to match my exact tooth in 60 MINUTES. This process would normally take three appointments and two weeks I'm sure. When it comes to cleanings- I have to mention Brittany here as the most gentle, sweet, and compassionate hygienist possible. All of the girls assisting at this office are lots of fun and as helpful as can be. Honorable mention goes to Esmeralda and Hilda for their follow-up and personality. Getting any work done in your mouth is never something to look forward to, but I always look forward to seeing Dr. Howard and son, and their amazing staff. More

The best dental experience I’ve ever had! As new patients, my husband and I were overwhelmed with the professional, and friendly staff. Both Dr. Alan Howard and his son Dr. Yoni Howard were incredibly nice and humorous as well! It was very easy to feel right at home and to trust them. This is our new place and I look forward to going back for my next visit! More

I have been going to Dr. Alan Howard for many years. Have to say, this is one dental office that you don't feel like you are going to just have another dental job. Dr. Alan is very skillful, caring and his office is equipped with the most up-to-date equipment. He took care of all my dental needs and his hygenist is also very good. All the staff are very friendly and greet you by name. Well worth the price I pay and have excellent results. More

The Doctors at the Dental Office, Encino are the finest, bar none. The staff are not only professsional and proficient at their jobs, they find the time to be friendly as well. The office has the most state of the art dental equipment, including it's own Cerec machine to make crowns on site, rather than placing temporary crowns and the need for two appointments, saving you precious time. I found Doctor Howard's work to be extremely gentle. I also found Dr. Howard's work was completed very quickly without being rushed. I had requested an estimate from Dr. Howard for some additional work; I found the estimate to be extremely reasonable and I also found Dr. Howard to be a Doctor, not a Salesman, unlike other Dentists I have met with.

I have hated dentists for a really long time which made me skip out on a few visits... but I got a Groupon to go in for a teeth cleaning and to try them out. When i got there the receptionists were extremely friendly and the lobby was really clean and nice. the place is brand new. Next I met my dentist and talked about my teeth and how I hate the dentist and why. He was extremely nice!!! And he said he would walk me through everything and organize a list of the work that might need to be done in priority of importance!On to the cleaning! I sat in the chair and was asked if I wanted the tv on, sure. Then if I wanted the back massager in the chair on! Why not?! A very kind assistant took my x-rays, and then Dr. Yoni Howard (btw father and son business) started my teeth cleaning. He was very nice and told me to let him know if anything bothered me. He was so kind and explained all of my x-rays after and what other work I needed. The assistant finished my teeth cleaning with a polish. And Dr. Howard came back with a list of the work, the price, and in order of what was needed first! AND he really told me what I really needed vs. a whole mouth of destruction from prior dentists.I have not stopped staring at my once again pearly whites, or stopped talking about what a pleasant visit I had at the dentisti! Don’t lose hope on finding a good dentist! This is the place if you need to give them a second, third, fourth, etc. chance! More

A damn good dental experience all around. The staff is very competent and friendly. They have new dental equipment, video cams, digital x-rays, not to mention the treatments rooms all have massage chairs and tv with cable you get to control. Dr Yonaton is bad ass. He filled a cavity and repaired a botched root canal filling in about 20 minutes on me, maybe less and he did a great job of it, no pain or rough edges. Amazing! More
My fear of dentists has officially ended. Everybody from the receptionist , hygienists and Dentists are extremely friendly. There's a private lot in the back for patients so there's never a pain to find parking. I have gone for a few cavities and teeth cleaning and all were not painful. I recommend Dr. Howard to everyone. The office is clean and all the staff are very professional. More

Hands down the best Dental visit I have ever had. Incredibly informative, truly kind/caring, and amazing staff. They have a collaborative/preventative approach to dental care, instead of just chastising me for not flossing as much as I should and sending me on my way. Finally found my permanent dentist. More

I never thought that I would be reviewing my dentist, but I am so impressed that I need to. I ended up going to see Dr. Yonaton Howard at the recommendation of a friend because the dentist I had gone to for most of my life recently retired. Here are my top reasons why this place is great 1. When I arrived for my appointment they took me right away. 2. I got to watch TV while in the dentist chair. 3. The nurses and doctor were really nice and totally patient when it came to explaining my options. 4. The shot they gave me was painless. :) 5. The office is clean and everything looks brand new. 6. It was fun to get a giant view of my mouth on the big screen. Yay for having a new dentist! :) More

I’ve been going to the Dental Office of Tarzana since it opened. Being afraid of dentists, I was delighted that Dr. Alan Howard was so gentle and kind. He made me feel ok about going to the dentist. Recently, my tooth was bothering me and Alan was busy, so the receptionist asked if I wanted to see Dr. Yoni Howard. I was shocked to find out that he is even more gentle than his father!!! They are both very reassuring, warm and friendly. The office staff is both professional and caring. I highly recommend the Dr. Howards to everyone I know. More

I'm giving this place a glowing review because the people working there are really friendly and make you very comfortable, especially if you have any fear of the dentist. There's a lot to like about this dentist's office. The office is really nice in a great part of town. The girls are super sweet and they made the experience far more comfortable. They're not just dental assistants, they're people with a heart, and that matters "especially" when it comes to a dental office. And the doctor - Dr. Yonatan Howard (the younger of the two) - is very caring and took a lot of time to talk to me about my teeth and what kind of work I might need. He explained the science behind the xrays instead of just throwing out fancy terms and moving on. You can tell these people care about their craft, which is a big plus. I would totally recommend this place without hesitation. I have a slight fear of the dentist, but I plan to go back for more work, which is probably the best praise I could give them. More
The single most relaxing dental experience available, bar none. I've been seeing the elder Dr. Howard for almost 10 years, back when he was in his Encino office, and I just recently got an exam from Yoni. Both are quick, yet thorough; professional, yet exceptionally friendly. The office is bright and clean, with an ambiance that feels nothing like a normal office space -- there are plenty of plants, a small rock waterfall, pictures of families, and flat-screen TVs hanging over every chair. I always leave with a nice little goody-bag and a smile on my face, and not only would I recommend Drs. Howard to anyone looking for a dentist, I have most certainly already recommended them to people that have asked me in person! I'm trying very hard to find something to describe as a potential "negative", because as it is, this glowing review just sounds beyond flowery, but really, I am struggling to come up with something. The receptionists are great, the dental hygienists are great, and even individual tools are the latest technology, making for the least discomfort possible and shortest time commitment. Bottom line, no one loves having someone in their mouth, but this place is absolutely unparalleled. More

This dentist and his office is the BEST!First off, the place seems like more of a spa than a dentist office. The decor is great :D There are flat screen TVs in front of every chair for your viewing convenience. Also, the receptionists are SUPER nice and greet you by your first name.The two dentists, Yoni and his father Alan, run a good business, that’s for sure! I have LOTS of stuff going on in my mouth - I’ve had braces, I have some missing teeth, I have a partial, I have wisdom teeth coming in, the list goes on. I went in for teeth whitening and Dr. Howard took complimentary X-rays just to make sure everything was fine. He advised me about my wisdom teeth and then did the Zoom whitening, which doesn’t hurt. I had originally planned to go elsewhere to get a new partial made to match the new color, but Dr. Howard matched the price I was going to pay somewhere else and is doing it for me same-day! PLUS! He gave me a MUCH BETTER product than what I was going to get. All in all, these people are GREAT. I have been to TONS of dentists in my life and this is the best one yet. Definitely go to Dr. Howard (Yoni or Alan!) You won’t regret it. :) Thank you!! More
