What is General Anesthesia at Dr. Futela’s Dental Center?
Restore Your Smile. Reclaim Your Confidence.
General anesthesia is a medically controlled process that induces a reversible state of unconsciousness, ensuring you feel no pain and experience muscle relaxation during your procedure. This is achieved through the administration of carefully selected medications, including sedatives, which affect the brain and central nervous system.
It is called general anesthesia because it affects the entire body, putting you into a deep, pain-free sleep. At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, general anesthesia is used for dental surgeries or treatments that may be uncomfortable, painful, or require you to remain completely still for an extended time. The anesthesia is administered by a highly trained anesthesiologist who specializes in safely managing anesthesia during medical and dental procedures.
🦷 When Does the Dentist Administer General Anesthesia at Dr. Futela’s Dental Center?
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, local anesthesia is typically used for routine, chair-side procedures. However, general anesthesia may be recommended for more complex or lengthy dental treatments that could cause discomfort, pain, or anxiety. General anesthesia is also used for specialized procedures such as maxillofacial surgery following fractures, bone augmentation, or treatment of facial trauma to ensure patient comfort and safety throughout the process.
