FAQ

Everything you need to know about our anesthesia services.

Who might consider this treatment?

Adults who require complex or lengthy dental procedures, experience severe dental anxiety, or have difficulty tolerating treatment while awake may consider general anesthesia. It is well suited for patients seeking a fully unconscious, carefully monitored treatment experience.

What is the typical experience?

Patients are comfortably placed into a controlled state of unconsciousness while being continuously monitored. After the procedure, they wake gradually in recovery and remain under observation until stable and ready to go home.

How long does it usually take?

Procedure time varies based on treatment needs. Anesthesia typically lasts one to several hours, with additional monitored recovery time in the office before discharge.

Is there anything to keep in mind?

Fasting instructions must be followed carefully for safety. A responsible adult must remain with you after discharge. Some grogginess, mild nausea, or temporary mood changes are normal as the anesthesia wears off.

What should I know about recovery after?

Adults commonly experience drowsiness, fatigue, or mild nausea after anesthesia. Rest is recommended for the remainder of the day, and normal activities can typically resume the next day.
