General anesthesia is a controlled medical state where the patient is fully asleep and feels no pain during dental treatment. Unlike local anesthesia or sedation, general anesthesia ensures complete unconsciousness, making it ideal for patients with severe dental phobia, complex surgeries, or special medical needs.
For international patients, general anesthesia provides a safe and comfortable way to undergo even the most advanced dental treatments in a single session.
When is General Anesthesia Recommended?
- Severe dental phobia (patients unable to tolerate treatment under local anesthesia)
- Extensive treatments such as multiple implants, full-mouth restorations, or zygomatic implants
- Children or patients with special needs who cannot cooperate during dental procedures
- Patients with strong gag reflexes
- Long surgical procedures requiring maximum comfort
