Niver & Sobel

Encino’s quiet streets along Ventura Boulevard host a steady stream of specialists who keep the neighborhood’s smiles healthy beneath the surface. Among them, Niver & Sobel focuses on the tissues and structures that anchor teeth, offering care that many general dentists refer to when gums or bone need closer attention. Periodontists handle everything from routine cleanings below the gumline to surgical repairs, making their work essential for anyone managing gum disease or considering dental implants.

Patients find the office at 16311 Ventura Blvd, Encino, CA 91436, where the mid-block storefront blends into the low-slung commercial stretch without fanfare. The area itself feels like a crossroads of local life—cafés, small markets, and professional offices all share the same sidewalks, so a visit here fits easily into a morning or afternoon of errands. Those who prefer to arrive by car will recognize the building by its discreet signage, though the address itself is straightforward enough to spot.

Common reasons to book an appointment include deep scaling to remove tartar buildup, pocket reduction surgery to restore gum health, or bone grafts that prepare the jaw for future implants. They also perform crown lengthening for restorative or cosmetic reasons, and can address gummy smiles with precise tissue reshaping. Each procedure aims to stabilize what’s already there or create a solid foundation for what comes next, whether that’s a single crown or a full set of teeth.

To schedule a consultation or confirm insurance coverage, ring (818) 788-6600 during weekday hours. Directions and a quick map snapshot are available here. The office sits just east of Hayvenhurst, so if you’re coming from the 101, exit at Ventura and head west—you’ll pass it before the light at White Oak.
