Dr. Dan E. Rudin, DDS

Oral surgery covers everything from wisdom-tooth extractions to corrective jaw procedures. Dr. Dan E. Rudin, DDS handles these cases from an office on Washington Boulevard in the Mar Vista neighborhood. The practice sits just west of the 405, making it accessible whether you’re coming from the beach cities or the Westside proper.

Common procedures include dental implants, bone grafts, and treatment for facial trauma. Patients also visit for apicoectomies and exposure of impacted canines before orthodontic work. The office is at 12202 W Washington Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90066—a block lined with small medical suites and cafés that give the area a low-key, professional feel.

Oral surgeons often work closely with general dentists and orthodontists, so referrals tend to flow naturally. Mar Vista itself has a quiet, residential character; the streets around the practice are shaded by mature trees and filled with mid-century homes. That neighborly backdrop can make the prospect of surgery feel a little less daunting.

Reach the office by calling (310) 915-9797. For directions, pull up the map—it’s a five-minute walk from the nearest bus stop. Simple as that.
