Located in the heart of South Lake Tahoe, our clinic provides a safe, comfortable environment where you can receive stress-free dental care tailored to your needs.

Understanding Oral Sedation and Its Benefits

Oral sedation involves the administration of sedative drugs through a pill taken orally, allowing you to feel relaxed and calm during your dental procedures. This method is ideal for patients who experience dental anxiety, have a low pain threshold, or need to undergo extensive treatments. Benefits include:

• Ease of Anxiety: Significantly reduces dental anxiety, making your visit more comfortable.‍
• Simplicity and Effectiveness: Easy to administer and highly effective in creating a relaxed dental experience.

• Procedure Overview: Before your treatment, you'll have a consultation with Dr. Robert Rutner & Dr. Thomas Rutner, who will explain the sedation process and assess your eligibility for oral sedation. During your appointment, you'll take the sedative pill under our supervision, and once sedated, we'll proceed with your dental treatment. Post-treatment, you'll need someone to drive you home, as the effects of the sedative may take some time to wear off.
• Safety Measures and Credentials: Our team is trained and experienced in administering oral sedation, adhering to strict safety protocols to ensure your wellbeing throughout the procedure.
