Encino Dentistry Built Around You
There’s no shortage of dental offices in the San Fernando Valley. What makes Encino dentistry at The Dental Office Encino different is what happens before any treatment begins — a real conversation about what’s going on with your teeth, what your goals are, and what the most straightforward path forward looks like.
Dr. Alan Howard has been practicing Encino dentistry for over 30 years. His son, Dr. Yonatan Howard, trained at UCSF and brought a second generation of expertise to the practice. Together, they’ve built an office where patients don’t feel rushed, oversold, or talked down to. You get honest answers, a clear treatment plan, and a team that’s been part of this community long enough to know what Encino patients actually care about.
