For more than 20 years, Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky has been practicing general and sedation dentistry. He graduated from USC Dental School initially, and then cemented a good reputation as an expert in his profession in the San Fernando Valley. With a demonstrated dedication to his patients and a strong community presence, he has a well earned reputation as a compassionate professional.
One of the most important techniques practiced by Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky, as well as general dentistry techniques, is sedation dentistry. For any patient who is nervous or anxious about dental procedures, sedation dentistry is particularly useful. As practiced by Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky, sedation dentistry includes the use of oral medicines that help to calm and soothe the patient before and during treatment.
Despite being kept fully conscious during the operation, patients find it difficult to remember the care they have undergone after it has been completed. This method requires constant and meticulous monitoring during the treatment time by the dentist and dental staff. As practiced at the Encino Dream Smile, sedation dentistry is especially appropriate for those who have less spare time at their disposal and prefer to complete as much care in a single session as possible; this is also beneficial for those who suffer from sensitive gag reflexes.
The care of Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky at Encino Dream Smile applies to all patients who have had medical issues, such as sleep apnea and gum disease. Those for whom this procedure is preferred, these problems may be diagnosed and treated by non-surgical means at Encino Dream Smile.
Dr. Julian H. Zhitnisky is a well-known philanthropist and is affiliated with the American, California and San Fernando Dental Associations and dedicates significant time to charity. He actively donates services to the Doctor Donated Services Charity, which offers care for the local communitys underprivileged members.
He also supports a range of academic competitions that stimulate innovation, education and the execution of charitable acts to be enhanced. The Good Deeds Competition, whose winners earn iPads as well as other products as prizes, is an example.
Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky is an active supporter of the communitys healthy living and productive engagement. If required, Encino Dream Smile is open at suitable times including for emergency care. Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky and his colleagues are fluent Spanish speakers as well.

Encino Dream Smile is the best! Dr. Julian Zhitnitsky is amazing. My husband and I have been patients of his for about 9 years now and recommend him to all our friends and family and to anyone looking for a top notch dentist. Him and his staff truly go out of their way to make you feel welcomed and at ease. From the moment you walk in until you leave they don't miss a step in their exceptional customer service! I used to hate going to the dentist but now I make and keep all my appointments with no problem. Dr. Zhitnitsky has a gentle touch and incredible bed side manners. No matter if it's a simple check up or a crown or whatever him and his staff walk you through the entire process/procedure. If you're looking for a grade A dentist with an amazing caring staff you need to go see him! You won't regret it.

A relative had highly recommended Encino Smiles so I did the natural thing...I called and made an appointment. Dr. Z has funny jokes, is personable, and extremely competent. In fact, he reminds me of my old dentist in Wichita, KS. When Dr. Bibler died, I was like a fish out of water, going from dentist to dentist, looking for the right dentist...and no luck. FINALLY, I can say I have found my "forever" dentist. Thanks, Dr. Z for taking care of my mouth and it thanks you, too!!! Plus, his staff is friendly! Always smiling, I appreciate their professionalism. Thanks Maria and Dina, plus a "I can't remember her name" office person, for all you do to make me feel comfortable. YOU'RE THE BEST!!

Encino Dream Smile is a great place to go take care of your teeth. Dr. Zhitnitsky was very professional examining and providing with solutions by priority. I had to do periodontal root cleaning and did a great job, I felt that I was in good hands. Everything was done without pain. All the people here were very gentle and kind to me. They explained very well what was going on. Definitely recommend.

What can I say, Dr. Zhitnitsky is the best! I've been going to him for years and even followed him from one location to his current location in Encino. The staff is super friendly and they go out of their way to make you comfortable. I can't recommend this place enough.

A crown from a previous dentist fell out and needed to be cemented back in. The staff was so kind and took great care of me. Everyone was masked up for covid which was nice since I had to take my mask off for the procedure. The service was quick and the payment was as painless as the procedure.
