Gentle, honest dentistry Meet Dr. Farzad
Two decades of trusted, unhurried care for families across Encino, Palmdale and the greater Valleys.
A second-generation dentist you can trust
Dr. Philip Farzad is a USC-trained Doctor of Dental Surgery who has been caring for Valley smiles since 1998.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Dr. Farzad built his practice on a simple belief: dentistry should be honest, gentle and never rushed. He’s known for taking the time to listen, explaining every option clearly, and recommending only the treatment you actually need.
From routine cleanings to advanced implants, cosmetic makeovers and same-day emergencies, our team delivers comprehensive care under one roof — with an in-house root canal specialist and sedation options for anxious patients.
Dr. Ilan Kaboud, DDS
Dr. Ilan Kaboud is a highly trained orthodontist at our Palmdale office, helping children, teens and adults achieve healthy, confident smiles through modern, individualized orthodontic care.
Dr. Kaboud earned his undergraduate degree summa cum laude from UCLA and his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of USC. He then completed his specialty certification in Advanced Education in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at Roseman University of Health Sciences.
With years of clinical orthodontic experience in both pediatric and multispecialty settings, he provides comprehensive care that includes braces, clear aligner therapy, space management, interceptive orthodontics, and treatment planning for complex developmental and dentofacial cases. He has extensive hands on experience treating patients of all ages and has worked closely with orthodontic mentors, pediatric dentists and interdisciplinary teams.
His background also includes research in dental public health, leadership roles at USC, community outreach, and volunteer work serving diverse and special needs populations. Patients know him for his warm personality, patience and meticulous attention to detail.
