Your Comfort and Safety Are Our Priorities
Our Brunswick, OH practice is equipped with the latest technology and follows strict safety protocols. We are committed to offering a stress-free environment, giving you peace of mind during your visit.
Why Choose General Anesthesia for Dental Treatment?
General anesthesia is a controlled, medically induced state that allows patients to relax completely or sleep throughout their dental procedure. This option is ideal for patients who have severe dental anxiety, special healthcare needs, or require extensive procedures that would be difficult to perform with local anesthesia alone. Our team assesses each patient’s needs to determine the best approach for a safe and comfortable experience.
When Is General Anesthesia Recommended?
We may recommend general anesthesia for:
- Patients with Dental Anxiety: For patients who feel especially nervous or anxious about dental care, general anesthesia provides complete relaxation and peace of mind.
- Complex Procedures: Procedures like full tooth extractions, implant placements, or other restorative treatments may benefit from general anesthesia for patient comfort and efficiency. Learn about our restorative dentistry services.
- Patients with Special Healthcare Needs: For patients with physical or cognitive disabilities, general anesthesia offers a way to receive comprehensive dental care in a safe and controlled environment. Explore our services for patients with disabilities.
