General Anaesthetic Dentistry in Chelsea Heights

At A Plus Dental, we understand that visiting the dentist in Chelsea Heights causes anxiety for many patients. If you feel this way, you are not alone! 

Unfortunately, fear or anxiety about visiting the dentist often results in patients avoiding the dental care they need to protect their smiles, and sometimes extensive dental work may be required to restore their dental health and the function and aesthetics of their smiles. 

For these cases, our dentists and team are equipped to offer general anaesthesia performed in a controlled hospital setting where patients can comfortably receive the treatment they need. Here's what you should know about dental sedation with general anaesthesia and how it can help protect your smile. 

*All surgical and sedation procedures carry potential risks and complications. Your dentist will discuss these with you in detail before your treatment and answer any questions you may have.

What Is General Anaesthetic?

General anaesthetic in Chelsea Heights uses medication to put the patient into a deep sleep so they're not aware or anxious about anything happening during their dental procedures. Our team monitors your vital signs, heart rate, and overall well-being throughout the entire process. When your procedures are completed, you'll awaken slowly, under our supervision, before you head home for recovery.  

This type of anaesthetic is ideal in these situations:

• For patients with severe dental phobia or anxiety
• For patients who have severe gag reflexes
• For those with special medical or physical needs 
• For those in need of several extensive procedures who want to complete them in one appointment
• For patients with extensive surgical needs, like wisdom teeth extraction
