Anesthesia Options

Why Is Anesthesia Important for Treatment?

Anesthesia plays an essential role in ensuring comfort and safety during your treatment. If you experience anxiety or worry about pain, anesthesia helps you stay calm and provides a pain-free experience. At Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center, Dr. Amir Nojoumi and Dr. Pouya Namiranian want you to feel relaxed and comfortable during surgery. We offer a range of anesthesia options in Davis, allowing us to tailor the solution to your needs and ensure you can focus on your care while we focus on your comfort.

Types of Anesthesia We Offer

We provide various anesthesia options at Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center to ensure you remain comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. After assessing your treatment and comfort level, we’ll help you choose the best option. Here are the anesthesia types we offer:

Local Anesthesia: Local anesthesia numbs only the treatment area, and you remain awake during the procedure. It is ideal for simple procedures where you need to stay alert but won’t feel pain.
Sedation Dentistry: If you have anxiety or simply need help relaxing, we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedatives. These help calm your nerves and keep you relaxed during the procedure, making your visit much more comfortable.
IV Sedation: IV sedation is a deeper level of sedation that helps you relax even more than oral sedatives or laughing gas. Our oral surgeon will administer medication through an intravenous line, letting you feel calm, relaxed, and potentially unaware of the procedure but still responsive. This option is ideal for patients who need more extensive treatment or feel particularly anxious about treatment.
General Anesthesia: We may use general anesthesia for more complex procedures like surgeries or lengthy treatments. It puts you into a deeper state of relaxation, where you will sleep through the entire procedure and not remember anything afterward.

How We Use Anesthesia: Step-by-Step

We ensure you fully understand the anesthesia process at Davis Oral Surgery and Implant Center before any treatment begins. Here’s a breakdown of how we typically use anesthesia for your procedure:

Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll assess your medical history and discuss the specifics of your treatment. Based on this, we’ll recommend the best anesthesia option for you and explain the process clearly so you know what to expect.
Preparation: On the day of your procedure, we’ll take extra care to ensure you’re comfortable. We’ll apply the numbing agent to the treatment area for local anesthesia. If you are receiving sedation or general anesthesia, we’ll set up the necessary IV or deliver the sedation through other methods that best suit your needs.
Procedure: Once the anesthesia is in effect, we’ll begin your procedure. You won’t feel any pain, and our team will check in with you regularly to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment.
Recovery: We will monitor you after the procedure until the anesthesia wears off. If you received sedation or general anesthesia, you will need a ride home as the effects will take longer to dissipate. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover comfortably.
