Sedation & Comfort
General Anesthesia
Fully asleep, with an anesthetist present, for complex or high-anxiety care.
For extensive treatment, complex surgery, severe dental phobia or young children with significant needs, general anesthesia lets everything be completed in one appointment while you are fully asleep.
These are dedicated days with a qualified anesthetist present throughout, monitoring you from induction to recovery. It is the same standard of care and monitoring you would expect in a hospital setting.
General anesthesia requires pre-operative assessment, fasting, and an escort home. Our general anesthesia page walks through eligibility, how the day runs and what recovery looks like.
