The Dental Office Encino was founded in 1991 by Dentist Dr. Alan Howard, who earned his DMD in 1979 from the School of Dental Medicine at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Together with is team of 10 trusted employees, Dr. Howard offers patients an array of dental treatments, including: cosmetic dentistry, pediatric dentistry, oral surgery, periodontics, dental implants, orthodontics, teeth whitening and porcelain veneers. Dr. Howard's veneers are customized with white ceramic to fit the shape, color and size of any tooth. Utilizing such veneers, Dr. Howard repairs crooked, chipped, misshapen, worn, uneven, and poorly spaced teeth. Dr. Howard also offers his patients real solutions for sleep apnea, a condition that contributes to health problems such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, erectile dysfunction, concentration impairment, and memory problems. Dr. Howard helps patients resolve this condition by fitting them with an anti-snoring mouthpiece that aligns the jaw to increase airflow and alleviate apnea.
Before opening up his practice, Dr. Howard served in the US Navy as a Dental Medical Doctor and also taught dental medicine from 1979 to 1991. Dr. Howard now serves as a member of the American Dental Association, the San Fernando Valley Dental Society, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the Institute for Advanced Laser Dentistry, and others.
