Do you avoid going to the dentist because of anxiety? So do many others. That\u2019s why Dr. Latner<\/a> of Westside Dental Associates<\/b> offers oral conscious sedation<\/a>, a common form of sedation dentistry. With oral conscious sedation<\/b>, we can help patients in the Los Angeles<\/b> area stamp out anxiety and have a new kind of dental experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Oral Conscious Sedation?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oral conscious sedation<\/b> works using a safe and effective prescription, in combination with nitrous oxide. What\u2019s more, Dr. Latner<\/b> has been certified to offer oral conscious sedation<\/b> by the Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation (DOCS)<\/a>. That means you can trust our team to safely and effectively offer care with oral conscious sedation<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Can You Expect to Experience?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, you\u2019ll take a small pill when you arrive at our Los Angeles<\/b> office for your appointment. Once the pill has taken effect and you\u2019re resting comfortably, we\u2019ll begin your procedure. Under the influence of oral conscious sedation<\/b>, your appointment will pass like a dream. When it\u2019s over, you won\u2019t remember any significant details from your appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will your next appointment be your first using oral conscious sedation<\/b>? Keep in mind that you\u2019ll need a friend or family member with you to drive you home afterward; it can take several hours for the effects of oral conscious sedation<\/b> to wear off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experience a More Relaxing Dental Appointment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Call<\/a> Westside Dental Associates<\/b> if you\u2019d like to learn more about oral conscious sedation<\/b>, or if you just want to set up an appointment with Dr. Latner<\/b>. We offer this great service to patients from Los Angeles<\/b>, Santa Monica<\/b>, Beverly Hills<\/b>, West LA<\/b>, Mar Vista<\/b>, Culver City<\/b>, Rancho Park<\/b>, Westwood<\/b>, Brentwood<\/b>, Venice<\/b>, Marina<\/b> del<\/b> Rey<\/b>, Playa<\/b> Vista<\/b>, and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
