Frequently
Asked
Questions

Here are some of the most common questions patients ask about general anaesthetic for dental procedures. If you have any specific concerns, we’re happy to discuss them with you.
Will I be completely unconscious during general anaesthetic?

Yes. General anaesthetic places you in a fully unconscious state, so you won’t be aware of the procedure or feel any pain during treatment.

Is general anaesthetic safe for dental procedures?

When administered by trained professionals in a controlled environment, general anaesthetic is considered safe. We carry out a full medical assessment beforehand to ensure it's suitable for you.

How is general anaesthetic different from a local anaesthetic?

Local anaesthetic numbs a specific area while you stay awake. General anaesthetic affects your entire body, placing you in a sleep-like state throughout the procedure.

How long does it take to recover from general anaesthetic?

Most patients begin to recover within a few hours, though full alertness may take longer. You’ll need someone to accompany you home and rest for the remainder of the day.

When is general anaesthetic recommended for dental work?

It’s often recommended for complex treatments, emergency procedures, or when patients experience high anxiety or have difficulty with local anaesthetic alone.

The Process

Pre-Treatment

Before your procedure, we’ll complete a thorough health assessment and explain what to expect. You’ll receive guidance on eating, drinking, and medications to help ensure your comfort and safety.

Treatment

During your dental procedure, a qualified anaesthetist will administer the general anaesthetic and monitor your vital signs throughout. Our team ensures you remain fully unconscious and pain-free the entire time.

Post-Treatment

After your treatment, you'll be monitored in recovery until you're ready to go home. We’ll provide clear aftercare instructions and remain available to support you during your recovery.

Sides Effects & Risks

As with any medical procedure, general anaesthetic carries some risks, including nausea, drowsiness, or a sore throat. Serious complications are rare and minimised through thorough screening and expert monitoring.

Avoid Unnecessary Pain or Stress

Delaying dental treatment due to fear or discomfort can lead to more serious issues. General anaesthetic helps make essential care more manageable and less stressful.
