Dental anxiety is more common than many realize, and it often keeps people from seeking essential treatment. At Sleep Dentistry, we are committed to making dental visits calm, comfortable, and completely pain-free. General anesthesia is one of the most effective ways to help patients feel relaxed and safe during complex or lengthy dental procedures.
General anesthesia involves giving carefully controlled medications that place a patient into a deep, sleep-like state. Unlike local anesthesia, which only numbs the treatment area, general anesthesia ensures patients are fully unconscious and do not experience pain or remember the procedure.
Throughout treatment, your vital signs are closely monitored by highly trained professionals to keep you safe every step of the way.
Dentists may recommend general anesthesia in certain situations, including:
The decision to use general anesthesia is made after a careful review of the patient’s health history, treatment plan, and individual needs. Patient safety and comfort are always the top priority.
Before your procedure, you will meet with our team to discuss your medical history and explain what to expect. On the day of treatment, anesthesia is administered, and you will drift into a deep, controlled sleep.
During the entire procedure, our team uses advanced monitoring equipment to track your breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure. After the procedure is complete, you will gradually wake up in our recovery area, usually with little to no memory of the treatment itself.
Choosing general anesthesia can offer several advantages:
For many patients, these benefits make it easier to maintain good oral health without the stress and fear that often accompany dental treatment.
