Dental Treatment under General Anaesthesia

Comfortable treatment in one session, asleep, in a hospital setting.

With dental treatment under general anaesthesia you are fully asleep and feel nothing throughout the procedure. Treatment takes place in a hospital operating theatre, with an anaesthetist and their team monitoring you continuously.

It is especially suitable for patients with dental anxiety (dental phobia), a strong gag reflex, or a need for long procedures such as multiple implants, extractions or full-mouth rehabilitation. Treatment that would normally be spread over many visits can often be completed in a single session.

The decision to use general anaesthesia is made after an oral examination, a review of your general health and an assessment by the anaesthetist. The necessary tests are carried out beforehand, and fasting and preparation instructions are explained to you in detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is dental treatment under general anaesthesia safe?

With proper assessment, and when anaesthesia is managed by an anaesthetist in a hospital setting, it is a safe option. We decide together after your examination and anaesthetic assessment.

Can I go home the same day?

Most patients go home the same day after monitoring in the recovery room. You should not drive that day and will need someone to accompany you.

How long do I need to fast beforehand?

Fasting times are set by the anaesthetist; eating and drinking usually stop a few hours before the procedure. You will receive personal instructions in advance.

Which treatments can be done under general anaesthesia?

Implants, multiple extractions, impacted wisdom teeth, root canal treatment, fillings and full-mouth rehabilitation can all be carried out under general anaesthesia.
