About Your Dentist
Meet Dr. August de Oliveira D.D.S
Dr. August De Oliveira opened his Encino practice in 2000 with a clear goal: provide the kind of expert, technology-forward dental care that was previously only available at major academic centers, and do it in an environment where patients feel genuinely cared for.
Over the past 25 years, Dr. De Oliveira has become one of the most credentialed dentists in the San Fernando Valley. He graduated in the top 10% of his class at the University of Washington School of Dentistry in 1997, and went on to become a pioneer in CBCT-guided implant surgery, a 3D imaging technique that dramatically improves the precision and safety of dental implant placement.
He has authored two textbooks on dental implants, developed software used by dental companies nationwide, and regularly lectures at dental colleges across the United States. His patients benefit directly from this expertise: the same techniques Dr. De Oliveira teaches to other dentists are the ones he uses in your care.
Just as importantly, Dr. De Oliveira and his team are known for making even the most anxious patients feel at ease. Many patients who feared the dentist for years describe their experience here as a turning point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Dr. De Oliveira accept PPO dental insurance?
Yes. We accept all PPO insurance providers. If you don’t have insurance, we offer low- and no-interest monthly payment plans to make dental care accessible at every income level.
What is CBCT-guided implant surgery?
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) is a 3D imaging technology that allows Dr. De Oliveira to plan implant placement with exceptional precision before a single incision is made. Dr. De Oliveira is a national pioneer in this technique, which reduces surgery time, improves outcomes, and lowers the risk of complications.
Can I get a dental crown in one day in Encino?
Yes. Dr. De Oliveira uses in-office CAD/CAM technology to design, mill, and place a permanent porcelain crown in a single appointment — no temporary crowns, no second visits.
What should I do in a dental emergency near Encino or Sherman Oaks?
Call our office at (818) 783-2981 immediately. We offer same-day emergency appointments for broken teeth, severe pain, knocked-out teeth, lost crowns, and dental infections. We serve patients from across Encino, Sherman Oaks, Van Nuys, Tarzana, and Reseda.
Is Dr. De Oliveira accepting new patients?
Yes, Dr. De Oliveira is currently accepting new patients in Encino and the surrounding San Fernando Valley area. You can book online or call (818) 783-2981 to schedule your first appointment.
How is clear aligner treatment different from traditional braces?
Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable trays that gradually shift your teeth into alignment. Unlike traditional braces, there are no brackets or wires, and you can eat and drink normally. Dr. De Oliveira offers complete clear aligner treatment starting at $3,495, including your retainer and in-office whitening. Clear aligner treatment includes your aligners and retainers only. Teeth whitening is not included.
Does Dr. De Oliveira treat sleep apnea?
Yes. For patients with mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea, Dr. De Oliveira provides custom oral appliance therapy — a comfortable, CPAP-free alternative that repositions the jaw during sleep to keep the airway open.
