Anesthesia Options
At Tuscarawas Oral Surgery and Implant Center, your comfort and safety during oral surgery are our top priorities. We provide a variety of anesthesia options, ensuring that you are relaxed and pain-free during your procedure at our office in New Philadelphia, OH.
Types of Anesthesia
We offer several forms of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is used to numb the surgical site, allowing the procedure to be performed without discomfort. This type of anesthesia is commonly used for less complex procedures, allowing you to stay fully awake and aware.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, is a mild sedative inhaled through a mask that is placed over your nose. This option helps you feel calm and relaxed during the procedure while remaining conscious. The effects of nitrous oxide dissipate quickly, so you can drive home afterward.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
IV sedation is a deeper form of sedation administered through a vein, making it suitable for more involved procedures or for patients who experience anxiety. This method puts you into a semi-conscious state, where you are relaxed and unlikely to recall the procedure. Our oral surgeons are specially trained and certified in IV sedation, ensuring you receive the highest standard of care.
General Anesthesia
General anesthesia induces a state of complete unconsciousness and is typically reserved for extensive procedures or patients with special medical conditions. Under general anesthesia, you will be fully asleep throughout your surgery. A board-certified anesthesiologist administers general anesthesia to ensure your safety and provide continuous monitoring.
Your Safety is Our Priority
Throughout your procedure, regardless of the anesthesia type, our team will continuously monitor your vital signs. We review your medical history, current medications, and any previous experiences with anesthesia to determine the safest and most appropriate option for your specific needs.
