The Anesthesia Experience

We will be with you from the start to the end

Before the Procedure

We want to bring you the best and safest experience.

We ask you to review all pertinent forms on our website.

You will need to fill out the Medical Questionnaire. We will fully review it.

If necessary and based on your medical history we may ask for a medical clearance from your primary care physician or another specialist. We may also ask for additional diagnostic tests such as an EKG.

If there are any questions you can email us.

Please make sure to follow the Pre-anesthesia Instructions ( Do Not Eat ) instruction sheet.

The Day of the Procedure

Safety comes first.

It is important that you are aware that we will be with you or your child through the entire process. We have all necessary monitoring equipment as well as all the emergency medications and equipment.

Most of all we have the experience and expertise.

Pediatric Patients

For a child to receive anesthesia at the office they must be at least 18 month of age and 25 Ibs.

Most cases will be done under general anesthesia or fully sleep. Before we start the procedure we will go through the process and answer any questions that you may have.

You may email us ahead of time with any questions as well.

Adult Patients

Depending on the procedure and on your medical history we may elect to do either IV sedation or general anesthesia. Both are equal in safety and satisfaction to patients.

IV sedation or twilight anesthesia is a lighter form of anesthesia. We may decide on this type if the procedure is very simple or shorter in duration.

General anesthesia is when you are completely sleep. This is reserved for more complex or longer procedures.

Recovery and After

After the anesthesia we will monitor you or your child until deemed medically cleared by the anesthesiologist to go home.

We will be available by phone in the time after you leave the dental office.
