Santa Monica, California Sedation Dentist - Alan Rubenstein, DDS  

---

Sedation dentistry is modern dentistry that lets even the most high fear patient have a relaxing and  comfortable dental visit. Dr. Rubenstein offers Santa Monica area patients two options: Anesthesia and Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) for your complete comfort. Today, smile improvement, cosmetic fillings, crown and bridge work, oral surgery and periodontal treatments can all be accomplished comfortably and without the anxiety often associated with visiting the dentist.  

INHALATION DENTISTRY  (Nitrous Oxide / Laughing Gas)

The most commonly employed technique used in anti-anxiety or relaxation dentistry is inhalation sedation using a blend of nitrous oxide and oxygen (Laughing Gas).  Our goal is to eliminate dental anxiety, making you more comfortable while we are able to effectively complete the planned dental care.

N20-02 inhalation sedation is highly effective in the management of mild to moderate levels of dental anxiety. 

 WE OFFER NITROUS OXIDE AS A COURTESY TO OUR PATIENTS UPON REQUEST

GENERAL ANESTHESIOLOGY (IV Sedation)

Our Santa Monica dental office uses a state board certified dental anesthesiologist for dental treatments where the use of general anesthesia has been deemed safe and appropriate for our patients. With this type of sedation, medications are administered directly into the blood stream. The greatest advantage of general anesthesia/IV Sedation is that if someone is not sedated enough, the doctor can administer more medication and the effects are instantaneous. The drugs used for IV Sedation are more effective then the same drugs taken orally.
