General Anesthesia for Dental Treatments

General anesthesia for dental procedures is a method that completely sedates the patient, ensuring they feel no pain or discomfort during the interventions.

At MaxiloMED, we utilize general anesthesia for complex cases, such as extensive procedures, patients with severe anxiety, special medical conditions, or young children who may not cooperate.

To enhance patient comfort, we have introduced general anesthesia services. Patients experiencing anxiety, those undergoing complex dental treatments, or anyone who wishes to avoid unpleasant memories can now benefit from general anesthesia. Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities.

The general anesthesia procedure for dental treatments is safe when performed by a qualified anesthesiologist who constantly monitors the patient’s vital signs. At MaxiloMED, we pay close attention to these aspects, and our specialists and primary doctors who coordinate dental treatments under general anesthesia have extensive practical experience both in Romania and abroad.

MaxiloMED specialists may recommend general anesthesia for severe anxiety, unpleasant memories related to previous dental treatments, or other medical issues that prevent the use of local anesthesia or standard sedation.

Our goal is to assist patients in every possible way, ensuring they receive maximum comfort and safety. Therefore, our clinic offers this option to patients.

Frequently Asked Questions ...

I have presented the questions frequently asked by patients to make the process more efficent.

What is General Anesthesia?

General anesthesia is a method that induces a state of unconsciousness through the administration of anesthetic substances. This technique puts the patient into a state similar to deep sleep, meaning they cannot collaborate with the physician performing the procedure. To carry out general anesthesia, it is essential to have an operating room equipped with all necessary facilities to ensure the medical intervention is completed safely and effectively.

The fundamental difference between general anesthesia and conscious sedation or local anesthesia

The fundamental difference between general anesthesia and conscious sedation or local anesthesia lies in the state similar to sleep that requires the surgical team to create their own access to the area being treated. For example, if certain interventions are necessary in the oral cavity, a member of the surgical team will need to keep the patient’s mouth open throughout the procedure, which can sometimes complicate and prolong the medical act.

Advantages of General Anesthesia

The advantages of general anesthesia are numerous, especially in the case of extensive procedures or patients with severe anxiety or other systemic health issues. With general anesthesia, the patient is not aware of what is happening around them and will not have memories related to the medical procedure. Additionally, general anesthesia allows for extensive interventions such as orthognathic surgery (to correct maxillary bone anomalies), trauma surgery, or oncology procedures. While smaller surgeries, such as dental implant placements or bone grafts, can also be performed, it is preferable for these to be done when the patient has a certain level of consciousness so that cooperation is possible. A major advantage of general anesthesia is the securing of the airway by the nasotracheal intubation tube.

Disadvantages of General Anesthesia

The disadvantages of general anesthesia include a longer hospitalization period, as patients require closer monitoring after the effects of general anesthesia wear off. On average, this monitoring lasts about 24 hours post-procedure, but it can sometimes be longer. Additionally, some medical procedures are more difficult to perform and require a larger medical team.
