Sometimes it is necessary to complete surgery under general anaesthetic rather than either sedation or local anaesthetic. This option will be discussed with you at your assessment appointment. We use the facilities at the Nuffield Manor Hospital Oxford working with Consultant Anaesthetist Dr Angus McKnight from Oxford University Hospital.
Dental procedures under general anaesthesia are typically recommended for patients who have.
- Complex oral surgery issues
- Severe dental anxiety
- Medical conditions that make it difficult to tolerate dental procedures while awake.
It offers a safe and comfortable option for those who require extensive dental work or who may have difficulty cooperating during standard dental procedures. The majority of procedures are done as a day case, meaning that you will not need to stay overnight.
