General Anesthesia (Fully Asleep)
Many oral surgery practices only offer IV sedation. Here, full general anesthesia is available, the same level used in a hospital operating room.
IV Sedation (Deeply Relaxed, Not Fully Asleep)
Many patients feel like they blinked and it was over. IV sedation is administered and overseen by an MD, available for many procedures.
Nitrous Oxide
Inhaled through a small mask. Keeps you relaxed and responsive. Effects wear off quickly, so you can drive yourself home.
Local Anesthesia
The treatment area is numbed. You stay awake and comfortable. Best for shorter, straightforward procedures.

If Fear Has Kept You Away, You Are Not Alone
Many patients who come to us have not seen a dentist or surgeon in years. Fear of pain, of being judged, of not knowing what will happen. Sedation removes that barrier entirely.
- 1 General anesthesia removes the experience of surgery completely
- 2 Nothing to endure, nothing to brace for
- 3 You fall asleep, and you wake up with it behind you
If that is the only thing that will finally let you take care of your teeth, we will make it happen.

Your Questions, Answered
Will I feel anything during general anesthesia?
No. You are completely asleep, with no awareness and no sensation of any kind.
Is general anesthesia safe?
Yes, for the large majority of patients. We screen your medical history, monitor every vital continuously, and have the training and equipment to respond to any situation. Dr. Anderson has more than 40,000 anesthesia and sedation cases behind him.
Do I have to be fully under, or can I choose lighter sedation?
You have a choice in many cases. IV sedation or nitrous oxide may be appropriate for some procedures. We match the level to your needs at your consultation.
Who manages my anesthesia while Dr. Anderson is operating?
During All-On-X surgery, a dedicated CRNA manages your anesthesia from start to finish, so Dr. Anderson can keep his full attention on your procedure.
Will someone need to drive me home?
Yes. If you receive IV sedation or general anesthesia, plan to have a trusted person with you that day.
How will I feel when I wake up?
Many patients feel sleepy for a short time after anesthesia. Nausea is possible but uncommon. Our team monitors you in recovery and provides clear aftercare instructions before you leave.
Can I have general anesthesia if I have health conditions?
In many cases, yes. We review your full medical history before surgery and plan accordingly. Dr. Anderson’s dual medical training means he can treat patients that some other offices are not equipped to serve. Talk to us at your consultation.
