Eric Videgain was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. He attended Boston University and received a Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in Chemistry. He then moved to Los Angeles and attended the University of Southern California where he received his D.D.S. degree. He has been in private practice in Santa Monica since 1994.
Dr. Videgain is married to his wife, Mary, a marriage and family therapist. They enjoy life on their ranch in the Santa Monica Mountains, where Mary is also a horse riding instructor. Their family grew and the ranch got a lot busier in 2008 with the birth of their triplets, Eden, Evelyn, and Julien. Dr. Videgain is a musician and guitar collector, and outside of time spent with his family, he enjoys making and listening to music and hiking in the local mountains.
Dr. Freed holds a Bachelor of Science in Statistics from UC Davis where he graduated with honors. He spent three years working in public health research before beginning his education in dentistry. He graduated from the UCLA School of Dentistry where he was a recipient of the Deans scholarship. He continued on to a general practice residency at the West LA Veterans Hospital where he received advanced training in all aspects of general dentistry, management of medically compromised patients as well as training in oral surgery and the placement and restoration of dental implants.
His connection to his community and public health dentistry led him to a clinic in the city of San Fernando where he held the position of Dental Director. Here he was responsible for patient care as well as assisting in the transition of the clinic to a federally qualified health center and building an affiliation with UCLA School of Dentistry. Since leaving the valley he has continued in private practice in Santa Monica.
He is thrilled to be able to work in the city where he was born and raised and further connect with the community he loves. He is an avid cyclist and also enjoys playing soccer and working on any do-it-yourself projects in his free time.

I met Dr. Freed for the first time and I found him to be very nice, very thorough and very open to discussing my dental issues. I had previously had Dr. Videgain be my dentist and now I know that they are both great.

This was an emergency visit. I was seated quickly and Dr Videgain evaluated my problem and made appropriate suggestions. I was, as usual, completely satisfied.

The team at Santa Monica Dentists is absolutely incredible! I recommend them often based on the amazing care I have received throughout my 2+ years as a patient there and will continue to!

Everyone is outstanding, from the front desk to the dentist chairs, and you also get to listen to worst rock/pop music ever recorded in the 70s! Quite amusing if not annoying.

Dr. Videgain is the best dentist I've ever had. He's saved several of my teeth from needing caps or root canals with his magic touch. He communicates well and listens to what I say. And, a big thing, you are never left reading old magazines in the waiting room. You arrive, you go into the chair. You can't ask for more. Thank you.

Kendra is the best dental hygienist. She does an excellent job and gives me tips on proper dental products. Kendra is a pro at getting into all areas of the teeth to guarantee a perfect cleaning. I feel wonderful after each appointment. Dr. Freed is fantastic! I know I'm in good hands when I see him for any type of dental issues.
