Nitrous Oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, has been a standard in sedation dentistry for decades. Combined with oxygen, the gas is administered directly through the nose and has no color, smell, or other properties that may cause discomfort. It is a favorite for many patients because it creates a relaxed feeling. Combined with local anesthesia or other anesthetic treatments, it renders most common procedures such as fillings, root canals, and inlays and onlays completely painless.

Dr. Zadeh is certified by the Dental Board of California to use an IV drip, frequently called sleep dentistry. This form of sedation dentistry is used for extensive procedures, such as full-mouth reconstructions, GUMLIFTS®, and dental implants. It may also be used for patients who are so terrified by dental anxiety that there are no other options. Sleep dentistry in Beverly Hills makes waking up to a brand-new smile possible. The patient is generally unaware of their surroundings and feels little to no pain, which makes it ideal for more prolonged procedures. It is essential, however, that patients who are undergoing procedures that require this level of sedation arrange for transit before and after their appointment, as they will likely be in a state of heavy sedation for most of the day and will be unfit to drive.
