The safety and comfort of our patients is our priority, which is why we are pleased to share the information about the possibility of conducting various dental procedures under general anesthesia, which constitutes a significant part of our offer to patients.
A procedure under general anesthesia is conducted by an experienced anesthesiologist at a hospital in Poznan. All dental procedures under anesthesia are performed by our specialist dentist, supported by a qualified assistant.
What dental procedures are performed under general anesthesia?
Starting from caries treatment, through endodontics, prosthodontics, surgery, implantology, or periodontology. The most popular procedures carried out in this form include tooth extraction, implantation, root canal treatment, and caries treatment. The use of anesthesia during tooth removal proves invaluable, especially when dealing with problematic wisdom teeth with an unusual position, or in situations where more than one tooth needs to be removed at the same time.
Who can sign up for treatment under general anesthesia?
Treatment under anesthesia is possible for almost every patient, provided that no contraindications have been found.
This procedure is a solution for patients with strong dentophobia, which makes it impossible to carry out treatment in the office, and the attempt to treat under inhalation sedation (using “laughing gas”) also did not yield results.
Dental treatment under anesthesia is not only reserved for adults. This type of treatment is also dedicated to our youngest patients, for whom a visit to the dentist can be a source of stress and anxiety. It is particularly beneficial when it is necessary to treat a large number of cavities at once, which can threaten the child’s health. Anesthesia allows the procedure to be carried out in a comfortable and stress-free manner for the child.
How to sign up for dental treatment under general anesthesia?
The first step is a visit to our office. The dentist, after conducting an examination, qualifies the patient for the procedure, presents the treatment plan, and a list of necessary tests to be performed before general anesthesia.
How does dental anesthesia proceed?
1. Before administering anesthesia, the patient breathes high-concentration oxygen through a facial mask.
2.Administration of anesthetics through intravenous injection (usually an injection into the hand).
3.The dentist performs dental treatment under anesthesia. The procedure is carried out with the assistance of an anesthesiologist and an anesthesia nurse, who continuously monitor the patient’s vital signs and oversee the depth of anesthesia.
4. After the procedure, the patient is transferred to the recovery room.
5. Upon waking up, the dentist and anesthesiologist inform the patient about the course of the procedure and provide postoperative instructions.
