At London Dental Specialists, we understand that extensive dental treatments can cause anxiety. General anaesthesia offers a solution for complex procedures, putting you into a controlled unconscious state where you'll feel no pain or awareness during treatment. This powerful form of sedation, administered through IV or inhalation, is safe for procedures lasting several hours. Our specialists carefully monitor your vital signs throughout, ensuring your comfort and safety. Many patients with dental phobia, multiple treatments needed, or complex surgical requirements find general anaesthesia allows them to receive necessary care with dignity and comfort. We're committed to addressing all your concerns about this option before your procedure.
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.
General anaesthesia for dental treatments is typically recommended in the following situations:
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.
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.
Recovery after dental treatment under general anaesthesia typically follows these stages:
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.
Yes, preparation for dental treatment under general anaesthesia requires specific steps:
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.
