Meet Dr. Julian Zhitnitsky, A Compassionate Dentist Who Cares About His Patients
Dr. Julian H. Zhitnitsky brings over two decades of expertise in general and sedation dentistry to the San Fernando Valley. A USC Dental School graduate, he has established himself as a trusted professional known for his compassionate approach to patient care at Encino Dream Smile.
Specializing in sedation dentistry alongside comprehensive general dental services, Dr. Zhitnitsky offers solutions for patients who experience anxiety about dental procedures. His approach incorporates carefully administered oral medications to ensure patient comfort throughout treatment. While patients remain conscious during procedures, the sedation often results in limited memory of the experience—a benefit for many anxious patients. Throughout each procedure, Dr. Zhitnitsky and his team maintain rigorous monitoring protocols to ensure patient safety.
The practice offers comprehensive care for various conditions, including sleep apnea and gum disease, emphasizing non-surgical treatment options when possible. Dr. Zhitnitsky’s commitment to excellence extends beyond his practice—he maintains active memberships in the American, California, and San Fernando Dental Associations.
As a dedicated community leader, Dr. Zhitnitsky contributes significantly to local charitable initiatives. He regularly provides services through the Doctor Donated Services Charity, ensuring dental care reaches underprivileged community members. His commitment to education and innovation is evident in his support of academic competitions, including the Good Deeds Competition, which rewards young innovators with technology prizes.
Encino Dream Smile offers flexible scheduling, including emergency care availability. To better serve the diverse San Fernando Valley community, Dr. Zhitnitsky and his team provide services in both English and Spanish.
