General anesthesia is a form of sedation dentistry also referred to as going under. General anesthesia allows you to be completely unaware, protecting you from fear or discomfort. It is performed with an anesthesiologist who is a medical doctor in our Center for Dental Anesthesia, which includes a state-of-the-art surgical suite and recovery room, with audio and video surveillance. Another deep level of sedation dentistry is IV sedation. IV sedation drugs are administered intravenously and work quickly to place you in a state of complete relaxation. While you are able to respond to Dr. Duffy, you will not feel any pain, nor will you remember the procedure after your visit. Although comfort is a large part of choosing sedation dentistry, there are other reasons, including:
