Sleep Dentistry Melbourne offers General Anaesthetic for patients undergoing treatments. 

General Anaesthetic for Sleep Dentistry: How It Works

At Sleep Dentistry Melbourne, we offer a specialised service for patients who feel anxious or uncomfortable during dental procedures. Our clinic uses general anaesthesia (GA) to ensure that you remain fully asleep and relaxed throughout your dental treatment. In this guide, we will explain what general anaesthesia is, why it is needed, and how our facilities are designed to offer the best care, including a smooth recovery process.

What is General Anaesthetic?

General anaesthesia is a controlled state of unconsciousness that allows patients to undergo dental procedures without feeling any pain or discomfort. Unlike local anaesthesia, which numbs only a specific area of the mouth, GA puts you into a deep sleep. Under general anaesthesia, you will not be aware of what is happening, and you will not feel anything during the procedure.

The anaesthetic is administered by a qualified anaesthetist, who monitors your vital signs closely throughout the procedure to ensure your safety. Once the procedure is complete, you will be gradually awakened and monitored until you are fully recovered.

What to Expect After General Anaesthesia

Recovery Time

After waking up, you’ll spend some time in our recovery area until you are fully awake and alert. It may take a few hours to shake off the grogginess, so plan to take the rest of the day off to rest.

Post- Procedure Care

We recommend that a friend or family member drive you home, as you won’t be able to operate a vehicle safely after general anaesthesia. You may experience mild side effects such as nausea, drowsiness, or a dry mouth, which usually resolve within a few hours. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions based on the procedure you’ve had.

Safety and Monitoring

We prioritize your safety. Our anaesthesia team uses advanced monitoring equipment and follows strict protocols to ensure that your experience with general anaesthesia is smooth and worry-free.
