Candy has been in the dental field since her senior year in high school. Twenty five years ago she started working for Dr. Galaif as a registered dental assistant and three years later began working at the front desk. Helping to make this a successful, family oriented practice was her main goal, since Dr. Galaif had just started his own practice. Making patients feel comfortable and at ease is most important to her.

She enjoys being able to relate to patients and taking care of their dental needs and putting patients at ease. She is very attentive to detail and strives to provide quality care. On her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, having BBQs and watching sports, especially football!

Michelle enjoys spending time with her family, boyfriend, dogs, hiking and going to the beach.
Our CAD/CAM system incorporates a camera, computer and milling machine in one instrument. We use a special camera to take an accurate picture of your damaged tooth. This optical impression is transferred and displayed on a color computer screen, where we use CAD technology to design the restoration. Then CAM takes over and automatically creates the restoration while you wait. Finally, we bond the new restoration to the surface of the tooth.
A tooth-colored restoration means no more silver fillings discoloring smiles. The filling is natural-looking, compatible with tissue in the mouth, anti-abrasive and plaque-resistant. We no longer need to create temporaries or take impressions and send them to a lab. Because of this, the traditional second office visit has been eliminated, which means your damaged tooth can be replaced in one short visit!
We are conveniently located in Encino, CA on the North West corner of Libbit Ave and Ventura Blvd in the HSBC building. Our parking lot entrance is located off of Libbit Ave, with both valet and self-parking available and we validate both.

Always a pleasure, if I may say, to visit Dr. Galaif and staff, as they are all both personable and professional. Dr. Galaif is passionate about his work in dentistry and knows the latest procedures with the most updated dental technology. So before you go on the internet to diagnose what's going on in your mouth, go see Dr. Galaif and he'll give you an educated and experienced answer.

BEST DAMN DENTIST and STAFF I've ever experienced in my whole life. My husband and I are very pleased. Dr. Galaif took care of all of our problems. Dr. Galaif and staff are very personable and make your appointment very comfortable and fun in some way. I'm sure you've never heard the word, "fun" when it comes to a dentist appointment. I Will Only Book With Dr. Galaif to the moon and back!

I hate going to the dentist - my absolute worst nightmare - however, I was very pleasantly surprised by Dr. Galaif and his staff. Very welcoming and soothing. Beautiful office with a lovely view to relax you even further. Dr. Galaif took the extra time to explain everything about the necessary procedures and put my mind at ease. I would recommend him and his staff very highly!
