Encino Dental Health and Cosmetics

Eric Shapiro, DDS, (with over 40 years of experience) and his friendly, well-trained colleagues, offer compassionate, professional dental care. His practice is known as ENCINO DENTAL HEALTH AND COSMETICS. The offices are modern and well equipped. Views of the San Fernando Valley, from the dental chairs, are gorgeous. In treatment rooms, large computer screen displays x-rays, pictures, and graphs to help explain why the doctor's recommended procedures are necessary. Knowing what's going to happen next, and why, provides comfort and confidence. During the COVID-19 pandemic, masks are required to enter the office. Temperatures and blood oxygen levels are taken. Medical grade air filtration units are in every room. Hand sanitizers are available throughout the facility. Everything is wheelchair accessible. Bathrooms are located down the hallway and require a key from the dentist's office. Paid parking in the entrance lot. An attended parks your car at no additional charge. On sunny days, the coolest place to park is in the building's shade on the right (north) side of the building. Credit cards are not accepted for parking.

Friendly and Professional staff! Today I was running a few minutes late for my appointment... I called to let them know, and they responded, "No problem. Drive carefully." When I arrived nearly 10 minutes late, the hygienist, with a smile on her face, brought me right in. I have had several hygienists over the years - all have been wonderful. Dr. Shapiro is good at what he does, but what I look forward to is his fun spirit ...he is professional and cheerful, with a comedic style during conversations! I often end up laughing before I leave his office.

The dentists, technicians, front desk and everyone there are very kind and courteous. It’s best to be a few minutes early (being on time is also fine). The dentist chairs are comfortable. I personally find it calming. As long as you’re keeping up with your dental hygiene, the teeth cleaning and appointment in general goes by relatively quickly (considering it’s a dentists office). Everything is super clean.

Doctor Shapiro and his team are the best. I have been going to Dr Shapiro forever, and I actually look forward to my visits. All the people in the office are so nice, and we always have a chat and a laugh. If you are nervous about going to the dentist, try Dr Shapiro. He will never cause you pain, and he will take fabulous care of your teeth.

There is no doubt that Dr. Eric Shapiro is not only a terrific dentist but a caring one as well. He has been taking care of my for many years. When I came to Dr. Shapiro I had a terrific phobia of dentists due to some bad experiences when I was a kid, and my teeth were in terrible shape. But he brought me back to reality over the years and now I am continually complimented on my smile. His first and only concern is that of the patient and their comfort while at the same time letting his genius and wisdom do the work. Truly a gifted person is someone who has an instinct for doing quality work and that is absolutely Dr. Shapiro. I am also impressed with not only his staff but also the group of specialists he works with for issues that relate to the dental health of his clients. He has sent me to a couple and they have proven to also be gifted in their own specializations. I have sent Dr. Shapiro other patients who have come away with the same experiences. I am not one to write reviews but when you find someone as exceptional as Eric Shapiro in the art of his craft one has to write a review. It makes you not want to move away for fear that you need his care.

My experience with Dr. Shapiro and his staff has been very pleasant with every visit! Doctor is very knowledgable, answers questions and he and his assistants are absolutely wonderful at putting you completely at ease! The front office girls are always cheerful and friendly in person as well as on the phone!
