Does dental anxiety keep you from getting the care you know you need? In that case, sedation could be a great option for you.
General anesthesia is the ultimate relaxation mode. Administered by a trained anesthesiologist, it’s a carefully induced state that allows you to be totally unconscious and pain-free during your dental procedure. With general anesthesia, you’ll be in a deep, dreamless sleep, so you won’t feel or remember a thing. This is why it’s the go-to sedation choice for dental implant treatment. Keeping you calm and comfy allows our doctor to work with precision and finish your entire procedure before you know it!
At Brilliant Smiles Bellevue, we go the extra mile by bringing in a highly experienced anesthesiologist, who’s entire focus will be on keeping you safe and asleep – which allows Dr. Barron to focus exclusively on giving you the smile of your dreams!
Anyone in good health can be a candidate for general anesthesia, but it is an especially effective solution for patients who experience the following:
General anesthesia is safe and very common for these types of procedures. Before receiving general anesthesia, Dr. Barron will conduct an evaluation and check your previous medical/oral history, medications you are taking, and allergies to determine your eligibility. Some medical conditions may require permission from your doctor before general anesthesia can be administered.
On the day of your treatment, while Dr. Barron is focusing on giving you a beautiful new smile, our trained anesthesiologist will monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure to ensure a safe and successful result.
Dental anxieties are quite common, and certainly no reason to be ashamed. Dental anxiety can be associated with the dental clinic setting or specific triggers like needles, drills, white coat syndrome, etc.
There are various reasons why these kinds of anxieties develop, including previous negative experiences with a dentist, extreme sensitivity or resistance to local anesthetics.
Luckily, there is something you can do to get the treatment you need! At Brilliant Smiles Bellevue, we believe that even extreme dental anxiety is manageable and shouldn’t be a barrier to receiving the care our patients need. Administered by a trained anesthesiologist, we use general anesthesia to put our patients in a comfy, dreamless sleep during their procedure, so they can get their treatment completed quickly, efficiently and without enduring any anxiety or discomforts.
Before the appointment:
After the appointment there will be a short period where you will be allowed to recover and must be fully alert before you are released to your companion. You may feel a little drowsy when you come around, so you will need to take it easy for the rest of the day. Your companion will be responsible for driving you home.
It can take 24 hours for the medication to leave your body, so avoid alcohol and take any medication prescribed as directed. Also, avoid driving and strenuous activities for the rest of the day.
