What Is General Anesthesia?
General anesthesia in dentistry involves using an intravenous (IV) line to numb any pain and help the patient remain calm and relaxed during their treatment. At Coyne Oral Surgery, we often recommend general anesthesia for dental work that is more complex or intensive, such as wisdom tooth removal or dental implant surgery. This option makes it easy and convenient for our patients in Franklin, TN to get the advanced care they deserve with minimal discomfort. If you need to have dental work done, we invite you to reach out to our office to set up your consultation with Dr. Cathleen Coyne. She'll help you explore your dental anesthesia options and decide on the best way to enhance and protect your smile.
How Does General Anesthesia Work?
Before scheduling your procedure, Dr. Coyne will sit with you to discuss your concerns and perform a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. If general anesthesia is recommended for your procedure, we'll discuss your options and what you can expect. General anesthesia at Coyne Oral Surgery is administered through an IV drip directly into your bloodstream. Throughout your procedure, a member of our team will closely monitor your health and make any adjustments as needed to keep you safe and comfortable. We'll also provide a mask to deliver supplemental oxygen.
We usually recommend general anesthesia for more complicated or lengthy surgeries. For more minor procedures, we may recommend local anesthetic, IV sedation, or nitrous oxide to keep you relaxed without putting you completely "under." During your consultation, we can go over the differences between IV sedation and general anesthesia and discuss which method we recommend for you.
What Are the Benefits of General Anesthesia for Dental Work?
At Coyne Oral Surgery, we are dedicated to making each patient's dental experience comfortable, efficient, and pleasant. General anesthesia is just one way we demonstrate our commitment to patient care, offering benefits that include:
- Provides safe, quick, and effective sedation
- Numbs the patient, ensuring a relaxed procedure
- Allows our team to carry out complex or multiple treatments in a single visit
- Enriches the overall dental treatment appointment for people
- Reduces patient motion throughout oral treatments
- Reduces anxiety in patients with dental phobia
General Anesthesia Reviews
My husband has been here multiple times for several different surgeries and we are both confident that he has been under the best care and in the most precise and gentle hands. Twilight sedation has been very helpful to him as he has had several crowns go bad and has started to change them all to implants. Our recovery has gone very well and we greatly appreciate Coyne's entire staff who have been wonderful with each procedure. We highly recommend them and Dr. Coyne!
Dr. Coyne and her staff are really awesome. They knew I was nervous about my tooth extraction, and walked me through every step, reassuring me along the way (as I did not get sedation). The team worked quickly and my sad tooth was out before I even knew it! Would recommend to anyone who has anxiety about dental procedures.
This is Today 3/2/2021... My husband needed his tooth extracted immediately. I called the office and talked to Marlena late yesterday afternoon. She made an appointment for my husband this morning. Marlena explained all the options and worked with us in an AMAZING way!! Dr. Coyne's office will be our go to for our family when an oral surgery need arises! I want to say thank you to Dr. Coyne and her AMAZING staff!!! Keep up the amazing work! You have our family for life! This was 3 years ago... My husband needed his tooth extracted immediately. I called the office and talked to Kristy late yesterday afternoon. She made an appointment for my husband this morning. Kristy explained all the options and suggested sedation due to my husband being in so much pain. Her and the staff also worked with our needs as well. My father took my husband to his appointment and stated that Dr. Coyne was amazing and extremely professional! My husband ended up going with the sedation option and he is doing great! I have talked to Kristy a couple of times today and she has always been so helpful and curteous! Dr. Coyne's office will be our go to for our family when an oral surgery need arises! I want to say thank you to Dr. Coyne and her AMAZING staff!!! Keep up the amazing work! You have our family for life!
Great experience! Staff is friendly and accommodating and Dr. Coyne made me feel very comfortable about the sedation! Highly recommend!
I have had several issues unfortunately requiring oral surgery, and have gone to Dr. Coyne's office for each of these needs. The office is beautiful and conveniently located, the staff is friendly and takes the time to make you feel comfortable and answer all of your questions. Dr. Coyne's is very nice and helpful in answering any questions or reducing your fears of the procedure itself. She is also honest in telling you what your risks are and educating you on how to prevent any worsening problems. The twilight sedation used is great for people like me with anxiety related to the dentist and actually makes the surgery quite relaxing! I definitely recommend Dr. Coyne for any oral surgery or dental implant needs.
