Anesthesia

At Oral Surgery + Cenla, patient comfort and safety are our top priorities. To ensure a smooth and pain-free experience during oral surgical procedures, we offer a variety of anesthesia options, all administered by our highly trained anesthesia team.

Types of Anesthesia

• Local Anesthesia: This involves numbing the treatment area with medication to block pain while keeping the patient awake and alert. It is commonly used for minor oral surgeries and ensures a virtually pain-free experience.
• IV Sedation: Also known as twilight sedation, intravenous (IV) sedation delivers medication through a vein, creating a state of deep relaxation. Patients remain drowsy and may drift in and out of consciousness but can still respond to verbal cues.
• General Anesthesia: This option places patients in a controlled, unconscious state, ensuring complete comfort during complex or lengthy procedures. It is administered and carefully monitored by a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Our Approach to Anesthesia

• Preoperative Evaluation: Before your procedure, our anesthesia team will review your medical history, current medications, and any preexisting conditions to determine the safest and most suitable anesthesia option.
• Informed Consent: We will explain the benefits and potential risks of anesthesia, answer any questions, and tailor the approach to meet your individual needs and comfort level.
• Continuous Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, our team will closely monitor vital signs—including heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels—to ensure your safety and adjust anesthesia levels as needed.
• Postoperative Care: After surgery, we will provide detailed aftercare instructions and monitor your recovery. Our team will ensure you are comfortable and offer any necessary medications or follow-up care to support your healing.

At Oral Surgery + Cenla, we are dedicated to providing exceptional anesthesia care to make your surgical experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
