Dentist in Studio City, CA
Studio City is a straight shot west along Ventura Boulevard, and the 101 makes it quicker than the map suggests outside of rush hour. It is far enough that nobody drives it for a filling they could get down the street, and close enough that patients who want a particular kind of dentistry do it without thinking twice.
What tends to bring Studio City patients west
Cosmetic work, mostly, and a preference for having it done by the same dentist each time. Cosmetic dentistry here covers whitening, veneers, bonding, clear aligners and ceramic crowns — and it is planned around how a tooth functions, not only how it photographs. Dr. Wolfe chooses ceramic restorations for how they behave in a real mouth over years, which is a slower conversation than a shade guide and a deposit.
Alongside that: general dentistry, deep cleanings, TMJ and jaw joint care, laser dentistry, and sleep and airway health for adults who are tired of being tired.
Scheduling around a working day
The Friday 7:00am start exists for exactly this. If your day does not tolerate a mid-morning gap, the first appointment of the day on a Friday gets you in and out before Ventura Boulevard fills up. Thursday runs to 5:00 and Wednesday to 5:30 for the same reason.
If the chair is the problem
Plenty of people who present as busy are actually avoiding. If dentistry has been on the list for years rather than months, sedation options and a longer, slower appointment are available, and our page on care for anxious patients explains how the visit is run.
Getting here from Studio City
From Studio City, Ventura Boulevard runs west through Sherman Oaks and into Encino. The 101 is usually faster outside peak — exit at Balboa or Hayvenhurst and come south to Ventura. The office is on Ventura between the two.
The office is at 16311 Ventura Blvd, Suite 1296, Encino, CA 91436. The building has valet parking and we validate it — partially for routine cleanings, in full for first appointments and any treatment appointment. Worth knowing before you circle the block looking for a meter.
Hours: Tuesday 8:30–5:00 · Wednesday 8:30–5:30 · Thursday 8:00–5:00 · Friday 7:00–3:00 · Saturday by appointment. Closed Sunday and Monday. Dr. Wolfe is in network with Aetna; with other PPOs the practice is out of network by choice and bills as a courtesy. The full picture on payment and financing is on our new patients page.
Call (818) 788-1231 or book online. If you are new, say so on the phone — and if you are nervous about being here at all, say that too. It changes how the appointment is run.
