General Anaesthetic
If you suffer from anxiety, fear, or dental phobia, visiting your dentist can be stressful, and you may even avoid dental appointments. Avoiding routine dental care often exacerbates the situation, causing the need for more extensive and complicated procedures, resulting in heightened anxiety.
If you're facing the need for extensive dental treatments, you might consider completing your procedures with sleep dentistry, such as general anaesthetic, which is done with our team at a hospital or in a clinical setting.
What You Should Know About General Anaesthetic in Lower Plenty, VIC
Patients with severe dental phobia or those needing multiple treatment procedures they want to finish during one appointment may benefit from dental sedation with general anaesthetic. In a hospital or medical setting, our team monitors your vital signs the entire time you receive dental treatment while 'sleeping.'
Patients under general anaesthetic enjoy deep relaxation, just like they're asleep, without remembering their dental procedures. You'll awaken slowly and peacefully under our supervision before you head home to recover.
Besides helping alleviate anxiety, treatment with general anaesthetic can also be excellent for patients with special needs, bad gag reflexes, or time constraints to their schedules since you can complete multiple procedures during one appointment.
