This is truly the best experience I have had with a dentist. Dr. Farahnik showed me detailed pictures of what exactly I needed done and why. He also gave me a more reasonable price than 4 other dentists I had gotten consultations with.He filled my cavities, performed a cleaning, and pulled my wisdom teeth the week after. I had mild discomfort for a day, which was nothing compared to what my friends explained during their extractions with other dentists. The office was clean, and the staff was friendly.  Dr Farahnik is a skilled and honest dentist that genuinely wants to help you. Thanks again!

The most amazing experience ever . I had a tooth pulled today and was so impressed . I am sure you all know how scary a dentist visit can be , but let me assure you , Iam  the biggest chicken in the world . As soon as I arrived the staff and dentist at Encino smile were amazing . They are so comforting and have the best attitude I have ever seen . My tooth has been infected for about 3 days , sooooooo much pain . The guys there took me in , explained everything in detail , begun the procedure , and before I knew it the tooth was out and I was done , I swear with absolutely 00000000000000000 pain . I assure anyone that has any issue with their teeth , this is the best , cleanest and most PAIN FREE dental office Ever , thank you guys soooooooo much . Coming back soon to do more work .

I had an absolute amazing experience at Encino Dental Smile. Dr Farahnik is so wonderful! The office is very well put together and nice! Everything is very clean and organized. The lobby is very well decorated. I have been a patient for almost a year now and I feel like family. He spends a lot of time to make sure I’m comfortable and never rushed. His work is amazing it’s mind blowing what he can do with veneers. I had a complex case with implants and cosmetics together and he did an amazing job, couldn’t ask for more! I highly recommend him. He is the best cosmetic dentist in Encino! If you are looking for a easy going and comfortable dental office that cares about their patients you much try this office!

I have to highly recommend Encino dental smile with a huge five star rating. I came to them in dire need of emergency dental work during this COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been a while since I’ve been to the dentist and I was long overdue. My previous experiences at other dental offices have never been that good for one reason or another. That all changed when I came in for an emergency appointment at Encino dental smile. From beginning to end it was by far hands-down the best experience I’ve had in my entire life at a dental office. I have to thank the Doctors & staff for making my experience there one to remember for all the right reasons. I recommend Encino dental smile to anyone that’s looking to have a pleasant and virtually painless dental experience.

Encino Dental Smile has me feeling like I’m on cloud 9! Dr. Farahnik is very knowledge and made me feel more confident about my smile the second I went in for my appointment. He first informed me about the work that had to be done and then we proceeded with my follow up where he did my veneers! I haven’t smiled in pictures for sooo long and after my treatment I could not stop smiling! My porcelain veneers are natural looking and I’m very pleased with my results. Dr. Farahnik is a true artist!

This dental office was a huge blessing for me! My front tooth broke Thursday night at work and within an hour of the accident I had an appointment. I came in and the Doctor examined my injury and explained the treatment plan and began working. The staff was so kind and caring, during the procedure they would constantly check how I was doing (if there was any pain). The next day the Doctor personally called me to check-in to see how I was feeling and healing. I was really so lucky to have found this Dental office on such short notice. Initially I was scared that the only Dental office open late at night (Especially during this time of quarantine!) would be a run down dental office. But this dental office is clean and top notch, this office and it’s staff was God sent.

I couldn’t recommend this dental office more! Prior to coming here, I had had an extremely negative cosmetic dental experience with a different dentist, so, this review speaks volumes! I am thrilled to leave a positive review for Encino Dental Smile, as this professional, thorough and EASY-BREEZY experience has been miraculously healing for me. I never thought I’d trust a dentist ever again after what I’ve been through, but I’m truly astonished/pleased to say that’s all changed now.  In April 2020, during the covid-19 closure, my front veneer suddenly cracked off (again, veneers done by a DIFFERENT dentist). I reached out to Dr. Farahnik and was in a temporary veneer within two hours. Dr. Farahnik totally calmed me down and came up with a treatment plan that will solve my veneer dilemma and the problems I’ve been having with my bite. The treatment plan would’ve felt overwhelming had I not been in the care of this amazing dentist! Within a few weeks of the initial visit, I was able to get started on a 10-week Invisalign treatment, so that I can have better dental alignment and not have to worry about my veneers popping off again. Once my Invisalign treatment is complete, I’ll have my veneers replaced with none other than Dr. Farahnik.  At Encino Dental Smile, everyone is highly skilled and experienced, and I feel confident in their care. I know in a matter of months I will get to FINALLY have the smile of my dreams. I’d like to express my deepest gratitude to Dr. Farahnik and his team of angels, including Parham Saddaf, the dental hygienist who also took the very best care of me during my visits.  Thank you!

Thank you to Dr. Farahnik and Encino Dental Smile for an amazing dental experience. All my life I dreamed of straight & white teeth, and Dr. Farahnik went above and beyond for me. I went to the office because of their Invisalign promotion, and when I told him I am a student he gave me a discount on top! I am currently in my Invisalign process and I am extremely happy with the results this far. Thank you to Encino Dental Smile for making my dreams come true! Again, thank you so much for everything you guys have done for me and for being so nice.

Wow, what an amazing staff, dental hygienist, and most importantly best dentist, Dr. Faraz Farahnik! I have visited Encino Dental Smile numerous times in the past year, and I have always left with the biggest smile. Not only is Dr. Farahnik and his staff super friendly and courteous to the patients needs, but they also take their time and make sure they answer all  your questions and needs. I have visited Dr. Farahnik for numerous dental procedures, from fillings to root canals, and have full satisfaction from the work he has done. He does his best to make sure you never experience pain throughout the procedure, as well as follows up with you to make sure everything worked well. I am happy to finally find a dentist that truly cares for their patient. Thank you so much!!!

I highly recommend Encino Dental Smile! I had the pleasure of working with them and I was pleased with the professional relationship we were able to develop. I hope to be able to continue that relationship for a long time to come.

I’m so happy my girlfriend introduced me to this office, it was one of the best dental experiences I’ve ever had. I’ve been too nervous to take my bottom retainer off, worried that it would be painful or that my teeth would shift afterwards. Dr. Farahnik put me at ease and was so gentle removing it, I felt absolutely nothing. It feels so good to have it off! We talked about my dental needs and came up with a plan, I feel confident that I’m in great hands and I look forward to my next appointment.

I just had my teeth whitened and cleaned for my first time at Encino Dental Smile. The front desk was very welcoming and attentive. I was able to get an appointment into to the office easily and I am so happy with my results. I’ve gotten my teeth whitened before but this is the brightest I’ve seen them! My cleaning was painless and I am so happy. Thank you!

If you’re looking for a dental office with high quality service and work you have found the place! Encinodentalsmile has became my dentist after I went in for an emergency root canal with no insurance. They worked with me on price and let me pay through care credit which was amazing because I had 6 months of interest free payments. Dr. Farahnik was extremely kind and made me feel so comfortable. You can tell he truly loves what he does and he is a dentist because he wants to help people.  Dr. Farahnik thank you for all you did for me and I am grateful I met a doctor like you.

I love Dr. Farahnik and Parham! I was referred from a friend who couldn’t say enough amazing things about how knowledgeable and personable this office is. I was in need of not only a cosmetic dentist, but also a new office to see for my regular check up’s and routine dental cleanings. Walking into the office for my first visit, I was immediately comfortable and knew I had made the right decision. Dr. Farahnik took his time to go over my options for fixing my smile based on what I said I wanted…I repeat, WHAT I WANTED. He listens soooo well and really delivers. Dental anxiety can be brutal, it’s relieving when an office is happy to spend time with you and make sure everything is clear. We came up with a treatment and that same day I got an amazing deep cleaning that was much needed from the hygienist Parham and was back within one week to start prepping for veneers! The entire process was pain free from beginning to end and I am so so so grateful for my new smile! Without a doubt, would recommend this office to anyone in need of a dentist in Encino. Thank you Encino Dental Smile!! See you in 5 months!

I personally struggle with dental fear and try my best to avoid going to the dentist at all cause. I had a dental emergency and went to their office and I could couldn’t be happier. Doctor Farahnik changed my perception of what dental office visit use to be in the past. He has a very modern approach and technique. We had a full on conversation about everything that bothers me in the consultation and he gave me instructions and explained everything to me on the X-ray. He drew lines to teach me what is going on he offered advice on how to reduce my anxiety and it all worked. He showed me a difference experience than what I feared and avoided. I will always be back and can’t imagine taking a risk with another dentist. The front office and the whole office were very knowledgeable and friendly. I received a cleaning today and for once I am looking forward to my next appointment. Highly recommend this dental office for anyone!! Thank you for everything today

I had a great experience at Encino Dental Smile, the staff and doctor were nice and professional. The office is very well put together and there was no waiting time. Dr. Farahnik took his time to listen to my concerns. He is very knowledgeable and genuinely cares about his patients. He explained to me the whole process of invisalign with videos and live samples. Overall I would highly recommend him as a cosmetic dentist and very happy with my results!

I was in dire pain from my wisdom teeth coming in. I couldn’t sleep and eat so i went in to Encino Dental Smile as an emergency dental appointment. The office and staff helped me a lot I was in and out within an hour with my wisdom teeth in hand. I was eating just few hours later and couldn’t be happier. Doctor Farahnik is the best dentist I have ever had and I recommend him 100%

I had a root canal here and the procedure went flawless. Dr. T made it quick and painless, and his assistant Raul has the best bedside manners and was very comforting before we started. The whole office here is great, and seem to be genuine. I am looking forward to the rest of my dental procedures.

Encino Dental Smile is hands down the best dentistry in all of the valley. I had a emergency call at 2AM, and when I walked in the dentist along with the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating. Not only was I very pleased with how kind they were for a patient who walked in at 2 o’clock in the morning, but I was also beyond happy with the result of the procedure. If you’re looking for a dentistry with a respectful and kind staff, while being able to get the job done then this is the place for you!

color me impressed!! i’m actually a trained dentist myself, and while i was a little skeptical to go to a general dentist for an extraction, i was in quite a bit of discomfort, and didn’t want to endure another sleepless night. i read the yelp reviews, and could see that dr. farahnik clearly had experience with emergency appointments and extractions in particular. i called on a sunday morning and a holiday at that, and they answered on the first ring and told me i could come in immediately! dr. farahnik and his assistant/hygienist, parham were amazing! they both have a wonderful bedside manner, and dr. farahnik quickly proved that my apprehensions were entirely unfounded. he was able to get me numb even though i had an infection, and removed the tooth carefully and expertly! i have had zero pain, swelling, or bleeding since i got home, and am looking forward to finally having some restful sleep tonight. i would recommend dr. farahnik to anyone without hesitation! i feel so lucky to have such an accommodating emergency dental service close to home! i’m even thinking of going there for my regular appointments. i’m so grateful and relieved to be pain (and infected tooth) free! thank you dr. farahnik and parham!

I had a dental emergency and in a lot of pain! Thankfully I came across this office and it saved my life. I was able to go back to work next day and was beyond happy with my dental treatment. I have had a really bad experience as a kid and what I remembered was nothing like how my dental appointment went. Dr Farahnik explained everything to me I told him my fears and expectations and he knew exactly what to do!The cleaning I got from the hygienist was the best thing ever. I had no idea what a deep cleaning was until I walked in to this office! My mentality about dental offices changed! I highly recommend this office!!

The entire procedure was professional and easy going. They worked with my insurance / situation and were able to quickly relieve pain. Really nice location and experience and I will be going back for future dental work. Edit 1/20: Went back for another incredible procedure. All is well and they took great care of my needs! Thanks!

Very professional office and staff. Treated me with respect and I was seen on time. I felt no pain for the first time seeing this dentist. I would highly recommend giving them a call with any questions you have. The front office staff was highly respectful and made accommodations for my time. The doctor as well as the hygienist are highly skilled at what they do and their work shows that.

Came to Dr. Farahnik’s office after he came highly recommended from a friend and I can honestly say It exceeded my expectations. My appointment started with a therough dental exam by Dr. Farahnik where he listened to all my concerns and gave me multiple options for treatment. Then I had one of the best cleanings I have ever had by their hygienist, followed by a whitening. He explained to me how to get the best results for my whitening and gave clear directions, that made me feel confident that my whitening will last as long as possible. Everyone was so nice that I’m genuinely excited to come back to get the retainer Dr. Farahnik is making for me to prevent my teeth shifting and to discuss other changes I want to make. He is clearly very knowledgeable and explains everything he’s doing in a way that makes you feel confident and cared for. For someone who generally doesn’t enjoy or look forward to going to the dentist, my experience here was incomparable to any I have experienced in the past. Highly recommend Encino dental smile!!

Dr Farahnik is a the right person for emergency dental work in Los Angeles! Last nightI had a an emergency with my front teeth, his team set me up with an appointment right away. Because he does cosmetic I felt very comfortable with his work. Thank you!

I never liked going to the dentist but these guys are great. They have mastered the craft of dentistry. No pain. No discomfort. Honest. They usually tell me not to get certain treatments simply because “ I don’t need it.” Love them. They really understand customer service and they look to retain customers for life. Hats off to these guys. #EncinoDental #thankyou

Man, what a blessing it was for me to stumble upon this office. Not having any insurance, and a pretty bad and spreading infection due to older dental work and decay, I had originally come in just to get a free x-ray and cleaning because I saw a promotion online. The second I had my X-rays done we realized the situation was pretty dire (for me, as a 23 year old) I had to get two front teeth extracted, and I also had to get the infection cleaned out of my mouth right away…I thought I had no options considering I have no dental insurance, but the dentists made sure to find a solution for me because they were concerned about the future of my teeth and knew that I needed all the help I could get at that moment.  Somehow, some way, we were able to bring the price down to a VERY reasonable cost considering the major work I needed done (I’m so grateful!) and I was able to book my next appointment with a plan ready to go. Six teeth were worked on in total, which is a lot for a single visit.. two extractions & bone grafts, and four teeth prepped for two bridges. Naturally I was really nervous, but Dr. Farahnik and Parham made sure I was at ease throughout the whole process and were caring and attentive. All in all, very professional, caring, and confident…for good reason! These guys know what they are doing and they do it well.  I was in and out with all the work done in one visit and was shocked at how painless it was….it ended up not being as big of a deal I had originally thought. Note they also offer emergency dental services….so if you need that you can be sure that they’ll take care of you and do it well. Would recommend to anyone!! Thanks for the new & improved smile guys!

These guys are amazing, including the receptionists! Very friendly staff. I’m a newer patient, as well as my boyfriend (since Nov. 2019.) I originally went in to get my boyfriend checked on. He had a cracked tooth which turned into an infection…and he didn’t say anything for a couple of months! He was experiencing pain, but first, before I found out the culprit was his tooth, he started getting headaches–something him and I never get. Then we wound up going to a nearby clinic because the headaches turned into an ear infection. We didn’t think anything of it and just got antibiotics from the clinic. The pain went away, but after 2 weeks had went by, the pain came back and he then informed me that he had a cracked tooth. We went to this dental office because it mentioned 24 hours and it wasn’t too far. Also, I read through some of the reviews and thought we have to check this place out. It was after 8pm and no one was at the office, but Dr. Farahnik was willing to come in, which really surprised me. We decided to wait until the next morning and let me tell you, my boyfriend fell asleep through the tooth-pulling process! Once we got home, after the numbing had wore off, he had no pain whatsoever. He had other teeth removed during later visits as well with the same results: no pain after the numbing wore off. I think he may have taken one of the stronger ibuprofen prescribed after one of the visits. Something to mention, I noticed immediately that my boyfriend’s breath didn’t smell after he brushed, whereas before, it would smell a bit every time. The next visit, my boyfriend needed more work done, but I wanted to ask a question about MY teeth. They took x-rays and showed me if there was anything wrong with mine. I found out that I had a few cavities and I was shocked. Also, my teeth had a lot of build-up. For me to not have gone to a dentist for any work, I am extremely lucky. They mentioned most of their patients have at least 16 cavities–people who are in similar situations as myself. I’m 30yrs old and never had my teeth cleaned, either. I literally started flossing that same night! I’ve already had a deep cleaning and 2 cavities removed, and have the crowns put on them! I felt very minimal pain during the deep cleaning with the numbing. The cavity removals were painless! If I experienced any pain that seemed too much, they injected a stronger numbing agent. Once I was home and the numbing wore off, I had a little pain. I took one of the stronger ibuprofen that was prescribed and it went away quite fast. These guys take their time and do an excellent job! I have always been afraid of going to a dentist because the mouth is a small area and thinking of any pain…oh no. I just didn’t want to deal with any of it. Also, the cost scared me, as it does with many. NOW I know it’s very important to not only brush your teeth, but FLOSS, too! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, guys, for being so kind and patient with us, and for teaching us that even the smallest thing that is overlooked can turn into something far worse later on! Don’t let the cost of dental work scare you. I’m going and I don’t have dental insurance, but they did help with putting my boyfriend and I on the dental credit! As they say, health is wealth! What is your wealth if you don’t have good health? Your health is everything!

I have been to many dentists in my lifetime and what can I say… Dr. Farahnik was the most professional and helpful dentist I have seen. I have had two teeth that have bothered me my entire life. After two appointments with Dr. Farahnik, I never have to feel insecure about my smile again. My entire family has started to see him and we have recommended him to our closest friends. Thank you truly for such a great experience. I feel confident that I am in the best hands here.

I have been going to Dr. Farahnik for quite some time and he has completely revolutionized my experience with dental care! He hand sculpted a composite tooth for me that looks phenomenal. It completely changed my smile and I feel so much more confident since going to this office. I cannot recommend him enough!!

Dr. Farahnik is truly a one of a kind doctor. I had an emergency tooth problem where I had fell off a Lyft scooter and my front two teeth chipped at 1 am. I called EncinoDentalSmile and they were able to see me at 2am and not only fixed my teeth but also worked with me on prices when I told him I was a college student. Thank you to Dr. Farahnik for being the best doctor. He has now became my general dentist and I would recommend him to anyone. The entire process was extremely smooth and easy. Dr. Farahnik has inspired me to become a dentist and he is really a superhero.
