Our office offers general anesthesia to ensure you receive dental care in a comfortable, stress-free environment. General anesthesia works by putting you to sleep and is administered either through inhalation or an injection into the hand or arm. To enhance your comfort after your procedure, we often combine general anesthesia with a long-lasting local anesthetic, ensuring you wake up feeling relaxed and pain-free as the anesthesia gradually wears off.
We typically recommend general anesthesia for patients who face challenges with dental treatment.
General Anesthesia Is Ideal For
- Children who cannot remain calm enough to safely undergo treatment
- Oral surgery procedures that are difficult to perform with the patient awake
- Patients needing extensive dental work completed in a single visit
- Individuals with disabilities or special needs that prevent them from safely following directions
- Patients with severe anxiety or dental phobia who cannot tolerate treatment otherwise
Before your procedure, our dental team will provide you with detailed pre- and post-anesthesia instructions. This includes important eating, drinking, and activities guidelines to ensure a safe and effective treatment.
