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 (IV) Anesthesia
IV medications are given to produce a semiconscious 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.
