What are General Anesthesia for Extensive Treatments?

General anesthesia for extensive treatments is a medically-induced state of controlled unconsciousness that renders patients completely unaware during complex dental procedures. It involves a combination of intravenous medicines and sometimes inhaled gases administered by qualified anesthesiologists, allowing dentists to perform lengthy or complicated treatments while patients remain pain-free and immobile. This approach is particularly beneficial for extensive dental work that would be uncomfortable or impractical under local anesthesia alone, such as multiple extractions, complex oral surgeries, or comprehensive treatments for patients with severe dental anxiety, special needs, or those requiring extensive reconstruction. Unlike sedation, general anesthesia produces a deeper state of unconsciousness with complete loss of protective reflexes, requiring careful monitoring throughout the procedure and a supervised recovery period afterward.

Conditions We Treat With General Anesthesia for Extensive Treatments

Our Parsons Green practice treats multiple conditions using General Anesthesia for Extensive Treatments, concentrating on conditions where this treatment has shown success. We carefully assess your condition to confirm General Anesthesia for Extensive Treatments is appropriate. Book your consultation by calling +44 7700 100779 to discuss your specific condition.


  • Complex Dental Procedures - For patients requiring extensive dental work that would be difficult to complete in a single session whilst conscious, general anaesthesia provides a comfortable solution by inducing unconsciousness.

  • Severe Dental Anxiety or Phobia - When patients experience extreme fear or anxiety about dental treatment that cannot be managed with sedation alone, general anaesthesia offers complete unconsciousness during the procedure.

  • Special Needs Patients - For individuals with certain physical, cognitive, or behavioural conditions that make it difficult to cooperate during dental treatment, general anaesthesia ensures necessary care can be provided safely.

  • Young Children Requiring Extensive Treatment - When paediatric patients need multiple procedures and cannot tolerate lengthy treatment while awake, general anaesthesia allows for comprehensive care in one session.

  • Surgical Dental Procedures - Complex oral surgeries such as multiple extractions, bone grafting, or extensive implant placement may require general anaesthesia for optimal surgical conditions.

  • Patients with Strong Gag Reflexes - When protective reflexes like gagging make dental treatment extremely difficult, general anaesthesia suppresses these reflexes to allow for necessary treatment.

  • Medically Compromised Patients - Some individuals with specific medical conditions may benefit from the controlled environment and monitoring provided during general anaesthesia for their dental treatment.

  • Extensive Reconstructive Dentistry - Full-mouth rehabilitation or reconstruction cases involving multiple procedures can be performed more efficiently under general anaesthesia.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is general anaesthesia in dentistry?


General anaesthesia in dentistry is a controlled state of unconsciousness that makes patients completely unaware during dental procedures. It involves a combination of intravenous medicines and inhaled gases administered by a qualified anaesthetist. At London Dental Specialists, general anaesthesia allows patients to undergo extensive dental treatments while asleep, making it ideal for complex procedures or for patients with severe dental anxiety.



When is general anaesthesia recommended for dental treatments?


General anaesthesia for dental treatments is typically recommended in the following situations:



  • For patients with severe dental phobia or anxiety

  • When multiple complex procedures need to be completed in a single session

  • For patients with special needs who may find it difficult to cooperate during treatment

  • For extensive oral surgeries such as multiple extractions or implant placements

  • For young children requiring significant dental work who cannot tolerate treatment while awake



How safe is general anaesthesia for dental procedures?


General anaesthesia for dental procedures is very safe when administered by qualified professionals. At London Dental Specialists, all general anaesthesia is provided by experienced consultant anaesthetists who monitor vital signs continuously throughout the procedure. Modern anaesthetic techniques and monitoring equipment have made general anaesthesia significantly safer in recent years. As with any medical procedure, there are some risks, but serious complications are extremely rare.



How long can a dental procedure under general anaesthesia last?


Dental procedures under general anaesthesia at London Dental Specialists can typically last up to six hours for extensive treatments. For healthy patients with no abnormal bleeding or clotting issues, multiple procedures can be safely completed in a single session. Our specialists ensure all treatments are completed well under the eight-hour mark, which is considered the safe upper limit for bringing patients out of anaesthesia.



What is the recovery process like after dental treatment under general anaesthesia?


Recovery after dental treatment under general anaesthesia typically follows these stages:



  1. Initial waking in a recovery area under supervision (30-60 minutes)

  2. Feeling groggy or disoriented for several hours

  3. Patients must be escorted home by a responsible adult

  4. No driving, operating machinery, or making important decisions for 24 hours

  5. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours

  6. Complete recovery from the anaesthetic effects usually occurs within 48 hours



How does general anaesthesia differ from sedation dentistry?


General anaesthesia and sedation dentistry differ primarily in the level of consciousness. With general anaesthesia, patients are completely unconscious and unaware of their surroundings, requiring breathing assistance. In contrast, with sedation dentistry (conscious sedation), patients remain awake but deeply relaxed, able to respond to instructions and breathe independently. General anaesthesia is typically reserved for more complex procedures or patients with severe anxiety, while sedation is suitable for moderate anxiety and less complex treatments.



Do I need to prepare differently for dental treatment under general anaesthesia?


Yes, preparation for dental treatment under general anaesthesia requires specific steps:



  • Fasting for at least 6-8 hours before the procedure (no food or drink)

  • Arranging for someone to accompany you home afterwards

  • Wearing loose, comfortable clothing on the day of treatment

  • Removing contact lenses, jewellery, and nail polish

  • Informing the anaesthetist about all medications, supplements, and medical conditions

  • Following any specific pre-operative instructions provided by London Dental Specialists



Is general anaesthesia covered by dental insurance?


Coverage for general anaesthesia varies depending on your dental insurance policy. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend checking with your insurance provider before treatment. General anaesthesia is more likely to be covered when it's deemed medically necessary, such as for complex surgical procedures or for patients with special needs. Our administrative team can help provide the necessary documentation to support your insurance claim for general anaesthesia services.



What types of extensive dental treatments can be performed under general anaesthesia?


At London Dental Specialists, we can perform numerous extensive dental treatments under general anaesthesia, including:



  • Full mouth rehabilitation

  • Multiple dental implant placements

  • Wisdom teeth extractions

  • Bone grafting procedures

  • Complex root canal treatments

  • Extensive periodontal (gum) surgery

  • Multiple tooth extractions

  • Comprehensive treatment for patients with dental phobia
