Anesthesia Options
Local Anesthesia - Numbing injections are given in the appropriate area(s). It is not necessary to change your eating habits before your appointment. Please take any prescription medications as you normally would. If you are pregnant, local anesthesia is recommended.
Nitrous Oxide and Local Anesthesia – Nitrous oxide gas is administered to produce a relaxed, awake state. Numbing injections are then given. It is not necessary to change your eating habits before your appointment unless you are instructed otherwise.
Intravenous Anesthesia – Intravenous (IV) medications are given to produce a semi-conscious or unconscious condition. The numbing injections and surgery are accomplished while you sleep. Following the surgery, you should plan to rest at home for the remainder of the day.
A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. If you are scheduled to have surgery the same day as your consultation, please have nothing to eat or drink (8) hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home. For those patients who are scheduled for consultation on all pre-surgical instructions will be discussed with you at the time of consultation.
