Dental Treatment Under General Anaesthesia – When Is It a Good Idea?
General anaesthesia is an option for patients:
- with a severe fear of the dentist,
- requiring extensive dental treatment,
- in children who do not cooperate during the appointment,
- for complex implant procedures,
- surgical or ENT procedures.
During general anaesthesia, the patient sleeps deeply, feels no pain or stress, and the entire process is completely controlled and reversible.
Dental Treatment Under General Anaesthesia: Step by Step
Tooth Extraction Under General Anaesthesia
Tooth extraction under general anaesthesia is completely painless and stress-free—for both children and adults. This approach is especially recommended in difficult cases where traditional treatment would be too stressful or painful.
Contraindications to treatment under general anaesthesia
Although dental procedures under general anaesthesia are safe, they may be contraindicated in certain situations. This applies, among other things, to:
- certain chronic diseases (e.g., serious coagulation disorders,
- (poorly controlled diabetes),
- pregnancy,
- unresolved cardiac problems.
Every patient undergoes a thorough evaluation and anesthesiology consultation to ensure that the treatment is completely safe. In many cases, we contact the patient’s attending physicians to discuss the details and properly prepare the patient for treatment.
Your most frequently asked questions
Is general anaesthesia safe?
Yes. At the Impladent Clinic, these procedures are performed by an experienced anesthesia team following a prior medical evaluation. Modern medications and vital sign monitoring minimize the risk of complications. From the moment the patient arrives for the procedure until they leave the clinic, they are under the care of both the anesthesia and dental teams. The patient’s comfort and safety are our top priorities.
Do you need to see a doctor before undergoing general anaesthesia?
This is how the initial evaluation of a patient’s eligibility for surgery under general anaesthesia takes place during the consultation. The dentist assesses the patient’s health, orders tests, and determines the scope of dental treatment. The test results are reviewed by anesthesiologist, who ultimately determines whether the patient is eligible for the procedure. Patient safety is the top priority.
When is general anaesthesia used in dentistry?
Most commonly seen in: • people with severe dental anxiety (dentophobia), • patients who are uncooperative during treatment in a traditional dental chair, • patients with disabilities, • for extensive dental procedures (e.g., extraction of multiple teeth, wisdom tooth removal, jaw reconstruction)
Can you drive after surgery under general anaesthesia?
No. After the procedure, the patient may leave the clinic only if accompanied by another person. The patient must not drive or operate machinery for at least 24 hours.
Can there be side effects after general anaesthesia?
Occasionally, patients may experience mild drowsiness or fatigue, a sore or irritated throat after intubation, or temporary nausea. These symptoms usually subside within a few hours.
Don't put off treatment because of stress or pain.
