Encino Holistic Dentistry - Dr. Linda Makuta, DDS

If you're looking for the best holistic dentist in Encino, I can't recommend Dr. Linda Makuta enough. She has completely changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. What makes Dr. Makuta so special is that she takes a truly holistic approach to dentistry. She cares about so much more than just your teeth—she takes the time to understand your overall health, educates you every step of the way, and explains everything so clearly that you always feel informed and empowered to make the best decisions for your care. She is incredibly calm, patient, gentle, and compassionate. I've always struggled with severe dental anxiety and used to need anti-anxiety medication just to get through an appointment. Thanks to Dr. Makuta's kindness, reassurance, and genuine care, that anxiety is gone. I actually look forward to my visits now and enjoy seeing her every four months for my cleanings. You can truly feel the love and intention she brings to her work, and that makes all the difference. If you're searching for a dentist in Encino who is knowledgeable, holistic, gentle, and genuinely cares about her patients, Dr. Linda Makuta is the one. I am so grateful to have found her and recommend her wholeheartedly.

I have since moved so I am no longer a patient. But after a very negative experience with a different dentist I figured I should leave a kudos here. Thank you for always being honest, and accommodating.

Amazing service

She is punctual and fast. I love the fact that she is holistic and talks about the whole body and emotion wellness in regards to our teeth. She treats you like a human not just a patient. I tell all my friends nearby to go see her. And she uses a NanoVi and ozone during cleanings and other dental work.

Dr. Makuta is the best dentist I’ve ever been to. I learn something new every time I see her. Everyone in the office is friendly and the atmosphere is calm and relaxed. I actually enjoy going to the dentist : )

Dr. Makuta is one of the best, if not the best, dentist that has ever treated me. She is efficient, detailed, and very caring/concerned about oral health and hygiene. Staff is awesome, office location is great, and Dr. Makuta is always on time for appointments (no sitting around the office waiting). My wife and I got very lucky to find her and I would highly recommend her. She's awesome.

Highly recommend Dr. Linda Makuta! She’s highly skilled, knowledgeable, caring and friendly, and she is up to date on the latest dental practices. Her office staff are friendly and extremely helpful as well! So glad I found her office and have been happily going to her for the last several years.

I have been going to Dr. Makuta for several years and she is outstanding! Like many people, I always hated going to the dentist, but now I don't stress over it at all. Dr. Makuta is friendly and professional, and shows genuine care for her patients. She never makes me feel badly if I miss a flossing (or two :-)) but always encourages me to continue improving my health. When she relocated I continued to see her even though it is a 30-40 minute drive because I didn't want to go to a different dentist. Highly recommended!
