Pre-Prosthetic Surgery in Ann Arbor, Adrian, Dexter & Plymouth
There are three main types of anesthesia that we use at our practice:
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 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.
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.
