Anesthesia Options

At Surgical & Sleep Solutions, we prioritize your comfort and safety during dental and surgical procedures. We offer multiple anesthesia options to make your experience pleasant and comfortable. Our team, led by Dr. Shaunda Kelly, ensures that each anesthesia plan is tailored to your specific needs and the type of procedure you are undergoing.

Local Anesthesia

Local anesthesia involves numbing a specific part of the body to prevent pain during procedures. It is commonly used for minor surgeries and dental treatments, allowing patients to remain fully awake and aware.

Oral Sedation

Oral sedation involves taking a prescribed medication before your procedure to help you relax. This form of sedation allows you to remain conscious, but you will feel drowsy and may not remember much of the procedure.

IV Sedation (Twilight Sleep)

IV sedation, also known as twilight sleep, involves administering sedative medication intravenously. This type of sedation helps you relax and may make you feel as if you are in a light sleep. You will be conscious but very relaxed, and you may not remember the procedure.

General Anesthesia

General anesthesia involves rendering you completely unconscious and unaware during the procedure. It is typically used for more extensive surgeries. Under general anesthesia, you will not feel pain or remember the procedure.

Safety

At Surgical & Sleep Solutions, your safety is our top priority. We follow strict protocols to ensure that all anesthesia procedures are performed safely. Our experienced team monitors your vital signs throughout the process and is prepared to address any potential issues that may arise.

How Does Anesthesia Work?

Before Your Surgery

Consultation: During your pre-operative consultation, Dr. Kelly will discuss your anesthesia options and help you choose the best one for your procedure and comfort level.
Preparation: You may be asked to fast for a certain period before your surgery, especially if general anesthesia or IV sedation will be used. Follow all pre-operative instructions provided by our team.

During Your Surgery

Administration: The chosen anesthesia will be administered by our experienced team. Local anesthesia is given via injection, oral sedation is taken in pill form, IV sedation is administered through a vein, and general anesthesia is given intravenously or through inhalation.
Monitoring: Throughout the procedure, your vital signs, such as heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels, will be closely monitored to ensure your safety and comfort.

After Your Surgery

Recovery: After the procedure, you will be moved to a recovery area where you will be monitored until the effects of the anesthesia wear off. The time needed for recovery depends on the type of anesthesia used.
Post-Operative Care: You will receive detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. It is important to follow these instructions carefully to manage any potential side effects and promote healing.
