Alfred Penhaskashi, DDS - Encino, California

I’ve had such a great experience with Dr. P and his staff! I had a gum graft in two places in one procedure. The procedure itself was absolutely fine, I felt well taken care of and communicated with clearly, and while mouth surgery isn’t a day at the beach, Dr. P took every precaution to make sure it wasn’t painful.
To be honest, I found the recovery to be quite painful for a few days. I’m glad I didn’t have to go in to work for the few days following the procedure. I know that pain can vary from person to person, my particular surgery had three sites which is pretty intense, and even though it hurt, I never experienced any complications or unexpected side effects. I felt I could reach out with any questions, too. The entire staff is so incredibly kind, friendly, attentive and warm, and I always felt I was in very safe and capable hands. I will definitely recommend Dr. P to my friends!
I also really appreciate that everyone in the office masks to protect their patients from airborne illness!

It was my good fortune to be referred to Dr. P a few years ago. He is largely responsible for restoring my teeth and gums to healthy. He and his highly competent staff inspire confidence that one is receiving the best dental care available while creating a comfortable environment for the patient.

I went in for a consultation after being referred by my dentist who spoke highly of Dr Penhaskashi. His staff is very professional knowledgeable and kind. I am in need of restoration and I have bone loss near the sinus therefore I need surgery to regrow the bone to be able to install two implants. I met with Dr Penhaskashi yesterday for the consultation I found him to be an amazing specialist. He was very thorough in examining my mouth, and my teeth, he verified the gum recession by measuring around each individual tooth like I have never experienced before, and I have a long history of seeing dentists. He took his time to listen and explain the solution, he recommended a plan to restore my teeth that I am very comfortable with and I feel I am in good hands.

So grateful for the Covid consciousness at this office! As an extremely immunocompromised person, it made me feel so comfortable to see full masking. The doctor also did an excellent job of explaining the procedures I'm going to have and why they are necessary and how I'll prepare. I feel very good going into my graft.

Dr. P and All the staff in this office are wonderful! I had a gum graft today and was very nervous. Dr. P and the entire office were understanding and extremely caring. The pre operative and post operative instructions were clear And all my questions were answered with patience and clarity. Dr P called me at 9PM tonight to see how I was doing and offered suggestions and kindness to help alleviate the discomfort.

I am so grateful to have found this sole practitioner that cares deeply for his patients as well as his staff which is obvious by how much they love working for him and with each other. I had 3 different hygienists do the deep cleanings needed before the surgery and each one gave me wonderful new suggestions for my overall dental health. Just from their suggestions re the use of proper brushing, using a waterpik and the best dental brushes, I reversed some of my gum pockets from 5-4 !!

I highly recommend this office for any periodontal needs!
