Dr. Shahin Issac Bina DDS, FAGD, FICOI
Dentist Encino CA
At Encino Cosmetic & Dental Implants, we truly believe in long-lasting restoration of teeth and your overall oral health, which begins with preserving what nature has already created. Our focus is not simply to treat teeth, but to help patients maintain comfortable, pain-free, functional, and confident smiles through careful, personalized care. From preventive and cosmetic dentistry to advanced implant reconstruction, every treatment is approached by our Encino CA dentist with long-term stability and comfort in mind.
Encino Cosmetic & Dental Implants
Located in Encino, California, our practice, Encino Cosmetic & Dental Implants, provides comprehensive dental care for most cases, from easy to advanced, using modern technology combined with a caring, thoughtful, individualized approach. We take time to understand each patient’s goals, concerns, and what they want their dental care provider to do for them before recommending treatment. Whether patients seek routine care, smile enhancement, or complex restorative solutions, our goal is to deliver results that look natural, function properly, and remain stable for years to come. We never push treatments to our patients.
Our Mission
Our mission at Encino Cosmetic & Dental Implants is to provide ethical, patient-centered dentistry that prioritizes preservation, comfort, and long-term success. We strive to combine modern technology, clinical precision, and compassionate care to help every patient achieve lasting oral health and renewed confidence in their smile.
What Makes Our Approach Different
Our philosophy is conservative and biologically driven. Whenever possible, we prioritize saving natural teeth and maintaining healthy enamel and tooth structure rather than recommending unnecessary extractions or aggressive treatments. We do partial crowns vs full crowns whenever possible and that will keep most of the tooth structure intact and maintain its strenght. Many patients come to us for a second opinion after being told teeth cannot be saved, and in most cases we are able to help them using modern restorative techniques that allow preservation of teeth that might otherwise be removed. This is not offered by most dentists.
When replacement becomes necessary, treatment is carefully planned to be minimally invasive while restoring strength, better chewing ability, comfort, and aesthetics. Our in-house lab allows us to deliver conservative partial crowns in one visit.
We are very well rounded in all disciplines in dentistry and able to offer many options to our patients, most of these options were never given by other dentists.
Why Patients Choose Our Practice
We offer most routine dental treatments under one roof — So we can offer what is best for the patient and not what we are limited to, like other dentists. We have advanced implant, surgical as well as restorative expertise with a commitment to thoughtful decision-making. We have very clear and transparent communication, we educate our patients and help them to achieve realistic expectations so they fully understand their options. Our objective is not to recommend the fastest solution, but the one that best supports long-term oral health and overall well-being for years to come. Our treatment plans are focused on what our patients’ dental needs are and not what their insurance covers. Most dentists treat “the insurance company”. We treat YOU!
Personalized Care from Our Dental Experts
Many people suffer from missing teeth due to various reasons. We have over 25 years of experience in implant placement and implant restorations. We offer a variety of treatment plan options that are not offered by many dentists. Some do the surgery only, some to the restorative part only. We do both. We also offer Ceramic implants in addition to Titanium ones. Very few dentists offer that.
We do most of the root canals in the office. Patients don’t have to hop from one office to another. We use lasers to clean and to disinfect root canals that increases the chance of success and in many cases can prevent root canal surgeries, saving patients unnecessary procedures and costs.
We offer a variety of cosmetic services. From chairside veneers to high-end Hollywood aesthetic porcelain veneers. We work with the best and most experienced dental technicians who only work with a select group of dentists. We offer a no-obligation, complimentary veneer try-ins so you can “test-drive” your veneers to see if you like them or not before you commit yourself. We offer a complimentary before-and-after photo simulation, so you have a glimpse of what your smile would look like.
All-on-4 and All-on-6 implant restorations
Plus other treatment options that are even better and more superior to All-on-4 approach, offered only by a small percentage of highly experienced dentists. All-on-4 is marketed and advertised heavily and unfortunately many patients fall for this treatment that may not be good for them. We offer customized implant services not offered by franchised dental offices.
Routine dental care like fillings, preventive dentistry
Crowns, bridges, dentures, tooth-colored fillings, and more. We use only brand name material and take time to select what material works best for a patient, rather than a one size fits-all approach in selecting materials.Crowns, bridges, dentures, tooth-colored fillings, and more.

Surgical and non-surgical laser gum treatments
We use lasers to treat many gum disease situations and help patients to avoid surgeries. Lasers can prevent recession associated with gum surgeries and can help to improve bleeding gums and restore healthy gums.
We have two lasers and we use them for a variety of procedures such as root canal treatments, and gum treatments. In addition, we use lasers for cosmetic gum lift, cosmetic gum depigmentation to treat dark pigmented gums. We also use lasers to desensitize teeth that are sensitive to cold. We also use lasers to treat painful aphthous ulcers or cold sores or removing tongue-tie, and many other treatments.
We offer in-office Zoom whitening as well as take-home custom made whitening trays. We also offer Laser teeth whitening for some candidates.
Technology
We have the most advanced technologies in our office. We have CT scans, Printing, CEREC (one visit crowns), Lasers, as well as PRP/ PRF/ LPRF. We offer PRP or PRF for bone grafting that allows much better and faster results.
Getting the most from your dental team
We strive to provide our patients with the best dental care possible. In order to achieve this, we take our time collecting information from our patients and take dental records. The more information we gather, the better we can design a treatment plan that best suits their needs.
We start by taking a full set of Xrays, a 3D xray (a CT scan), photos of each tooth and the whole mouth and some digital impressions.
Then we show our patients the photos and Xrays and we go over our findings together. We believe an educated patient is the best patient. We do this to be completely transparent.
We find this to be much easier to communicate and come to a treatment plan with our patients. This way there are no surprises and our patients would know exactly what to expect.
We offer the best treatment plan, with additional 2nd or 3rd options, and will help them to get financing if it is needed.
We also offer no obligation, and absolutely complementary cosmetic work up. This includes a before-after simulation, a temporary veneer to see if you like the treatment plan we are offering before you make any commitments.
We always offer free consultation, free second opinion evaluation and consultation for implants and cosmetic works. We are loved by our patients and have 5 star reviews on Yelp and Google. If you are looking to find a top rated dentist that you can trust, then call us and make an appointment for a complementary evaluation
Why do I need dental care when I’m not in pain?
This is a great question and it is asked by almost every single patient. Dental disease does not cause pain. Even if you have a very large cavity or a big gum or root canal infection. Dental disease progresses slowly and our bodies adapt to it gradually. So it never causes pain or discomfort. Many diseases are like that. I use diabetes as an example. Unless you get tests, you don’t know you have diabetes because it does not cause pain. Unless you have Xrays and evaluation, you don’t know if you have cavities or dental problems. When you have dental pain, it usually indicates you waited too long!
"Best dentist I have ever been to. Easy to talk to. He listens and really cares about your needs. I have never had a problem setting an appointment. The girls in the office are on top of things. My favorite assistant is Gay! She really puts me at ease and helps explain everything to me. They seem to work well with my insurance company. My out of pocket expense is fair. This place still has the feel of a family owned business."

"I couldn't be more pleased with the services at Dr. Bina's office. Myself and family come here for all our dental service needs. I've had to get oral surgery and replace an implant and it looks great! He and his staff are friendly and he's got a great sense of humor. Highly recommended!"
