Your comfort is of the utmost importance to our team, and we’ll help you determine which level of anesthesia is right for your needs. Dental implant surgery is minimally invasive with our digital technology and surgical guides, often only requiring local anesthetic to block any sensations of pain. However, if you’re feeling stressed or anxious about treatment, we can help with anesthesia. Oral sedation and nitrous oxide are two forms of minimal to moderate sedation. Though you are conscious and responsive, you’ll likely feel relaxed and drowsy, and may even nap during the procedure. IV sedation is a deeper level of conscious sedation. Administered intravenously, IV sedation puts you in a deep “sleep” state, effectively blocking anxiety and pain with a customized level of sedation. Under general anesthesia, you are completely unconscious and unable to respond to verbal commands. You’ll awaken from this level of anesthesia either on your own or with medication. If you’re not sure which solution is best for you, we’ll determine the best anesthesia option for your needs at your consultation.
