East Los Angeles Dentist, Dr. Ramin Assili, is Now Offering Sedation Dentistry to His Patients

    LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- East LA dentist, Dr. Ramin Assili, announces that patients can now receive a variety of sedation options at Smiles LA. Sedation dentistry can ease dental treatment for anxious patients and many others. For example, patients with a resistance to local anesthesia due to a fear of needles may be able to undergo necessary treatment thanks to sedation. Developmental disabilities and neuromuscular disorders can also make sedation beneficial. Some treatments are time intensive, and sedation can improve their efficiency by making long sessions feasible. Patients may be offered one of several forms of sedation, depending on the procedure and their eligibility.

Sedation is available in a few different forms, including inhaled, oral and IV. Inhaled sedation, also called nitrous oxide or laughing gas, acts fast, offers light drowsiness and has mild numbing properties. Oral sedation is stronger and involves the use of a pill that patients take before a procedure begins. IV sedation methods are administered immediately before a procedure and give patients a heavy level of sedation akin to sleep. Of the three options, IV sedation has the most restrictive candidacy criteria, and it may not be an option for some patients, such as those with a history of sleep apnea. In certain cases, patients may benefit from a combination of sedation types.

When patients visit the East Los Angeles Dentist Dr. Ramin Assili, they are able to choose from several restorative and cosmetic dental procedures. Dr. Assili specializes in dental implants, the leading form of tooth replacement, and dental veneers, which are among the most popular cosmetic treatments. General dentistry, including tooth-colored fillings and root canal treatment, are also offered at Smiles LA, as well as periodontal treatment, orthodontic care, wisdom teeth removal, and preventive treatments.
