A Dental Home for Your Whole Family
Finding Encino family dental care that works for every age in your household isn’t always easy. Kids need a gentle introduction to the dentist. Teens might need orthodontic guidance. Adults need everything from cleanings to cosmetic work. And parents or grandparents may need more specialized restorative care.
At The Dental Office Encino, Dr. Alan Howard and Dr. Yonatan Howard built their practice to handle all of it under one roof, with one team that knows your family by name. You won’t need a different office for your son’s first filling and your own teeth whitening. That’s what makes this Encino family dental practice different: everyone gets seen here.
What We Offer
Encino Family Dental Services
Kids & First Visits
We recommend bringing children in as soon as their first tooth comes in — usually around age one. Getting kids comfortable with the dentist early sets the tone for a lifetime of good habits.
Teens & Orthodontic Guidance
From cavity prevention during growth spurts to clear aligner treatment for straighter teeth, our team helps teens move into adulthood with a healthy, confident smile.
Adults & Preventive Care
Regular cleanings, exams, and fillings keep busy adults ahead of problems before they start. We recommend visits twice a year for the whole family.
Cosmetic & Restorative Work
Whether it's whitening, veneers, or replacing a damaged tooth, adults at any stage can get cosmetic and restorative treatment without leaving their Encino family dental office.
Parents & Grandparents
Implants, bridges, dentures, and gum care — restorative and periodontal services for the older members of your family, handled with the same care as everyone else's visit.
Emergency Care
Toothaches and dental emergencies don't wait for convenient timing. When something comes up, our Encino family dental team will get you or your child in as quickly as possible.
Why Encino Families Keep Coming Back
Dr. Alan Howard and Dr. Yonatan Howard are a father-and-son team — which means the value of family isn’t just part of the messaging here, it’s part of how the practice was built. Over 30 years of treating Encino families has taught them what matters most: consistency, trust, and a team that remembers your kids’ names.
Our staff speaks English, Spanish, and Hebrew, so language is never a barrier to getting your whole family the care they need. And because every member of your household — from toddlers to grandparents — can be seen at the same Encino family dental office, you’re not juggling multiple providers or repeating your family’s history at every new appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Family Dental Care in Encino
At what age should my child start seeing the dentist?
As soon as their first tooth comes in — usually around age one. Early visits help kids get comfortable with the dentist and let us catch any issues before they grow.
Can you see my whole family at the same practice?
Yes. That’s the point of an Encino family dental practice like ours — kids, teens, adults, and grandparents can all be treated under one roof, by the same team.
Do you offer evening or weekend appointments for busy families?
Our regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm. Give our office a call and we’ll work with you to find an appointment time that fits your schedule.
What if my family has different dental needs — some cosmetic, some restorative?
That’s exactly what an Encino family dental office should be able to handle. Dr. Howard and Dr. Howard offer preventive, cosmetic, and restorative services, so each family member’s treatment plan is built around their specific needs.
Do you accept dental insurance for the whole family?
Coverage depends on your plan and provider. Our team can help you understand your family’s benefits and coverage before any treatment begins.
What happens if my child has a dental emergency?
Call our office right away. We’ll do our best to get your child in quickly — dental emergencies don’t wait for a convenient time, and neither do we.
