Types of Anesthesia

There are three main types of anesthesia that we use at our practice:

Local

Local anesthesia is commonly used for minor oral surgical procedures such as simple dental extractions, single dental implant placement, or small soft tissue biopsies in the mouth. Local anesthetic only affects the site to be worked on.

IV Sedation

IV sedation is administered directly into the patient’s vein. The medications act to give the patient a combination of tranquility, sedation, and amnesia. The amount and type of medication given will determine the depth of anesthesia. This technique is most commonly used during the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, extensive dental implant surgery, or any surgical treatment that is more complex.

Nitrous Oxide

This is commonly known as laughing gas. This is a mild sedative that is administered through inhalation. It is commonly used in young children and is always accompanied by a local anesthetic injection in the area to be treated. After the treatment is completed, the patient will breathe some oxygen for a few minutes, and the sedative effects of the gas will dissipate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people have or will have experienced wisdom teeth removal at some point in their life. Your dentist will monitor the growth and development of your wisdom teeth and refer you to an oral surgeon if they have determined removal is in the best interest of your oral health.
In general, wisdom teeth are removed some time during the early to mid-teen years, although some patients may require treatment outside of this range. The surgical procedure and recovery tend to be easier in younger patients.
Common complications of wisdom teeth include pain, infection, dental shifting, bite alignment problems, cysts and tumors, and more.
All surgery carries some degree of discomfort. It is our job as specialists and our mission as compassionate providers to make every effort to minimize this discomfort throughout the procedure and recovery process. We offer several forms of anesthesia to keep you comfortable during surgery and will send you home with post-operative instructions to optimize your healing.Let our office know right away if you are experiencing severe pain, swelling, or bleeding after surgery. We will address this issue promptly.
