How is the treatment done?
In the case of dentistry under anesthesia, the treatment always begins with a preliminary consultation, where the dentist and anesthesiologist assess the patient's health. In some cases, a laboratory test may also be necessary to exclude all risks. On the day of the procedure, the patient arrives in comfortable clothing and cannot eat or drink for at least six hours beforehand. The treatment is performed by a specialist anesthesiologist, using modern anesthesia machines and advanced monitoring devices. The patient is able to breathe independently, responds to simple instructions, and at the same time does not feel any pain or discomfort. A specialist monitors safety throughout the procedure, and after the procedure, there is a short rest and observation period. Dentistry under anesthesia is surprisingly easy for most patients, as they remember almost nothing about the treatment due to the anesthesia.
The exact course of treatment is always personalized, as each patient comes with a different health background. During the consultation, the specialists will provide detailed information about each step of the process. This gives a sense of security and helps the patient prepare for the treatment calmly and without fear.
Who is dental anesthesia recommended for?
Dentistry under anesthesia is an effective solution for those who struggle with extreme anxiety before dental procedures or who avoid the office due to negative experiences in the past. It can be an ideal choice for those who are highly sensitive to pain or who experience panic attacks from the sound of dental instruments. Dentistry under anesthesia is especially recommended for major surgical procedures, such as wisdom tooth removal, implantation or full mouth rehabilitation. It can also be helpful for patients who want to have multi-step treatments performed at one time. Although it is mainly used for adults, there are situations when it may be justified for younger patients. The decision is always made based on the professional recommendation of the dentist and anesthesiologist, taking into account the individual needs of the patient.
Not only anxious patients can benefit from it, but also those who have little time due to work and want to have the necessary treatments done in one go.
