Our Treatments

Sedation options

We ensure your comfort by providing you with multiple sedation options for your surgical procedure.

Book an appointment

Local anesthesia

  • Precisely numbs the specific area being treated.
  • Keeps you awake and alert throughout the procedure.
  • Ideal for minor discomfort with minimal after-effects.

Instructions

  • You can maintain your normal eating habits.
  • You should take all of your normally prescribed medication as usual.
  • If your dentist or surgeon has prescribed an antibiotic before the procedure you should take it as recommended.

Intravenous (IV) Sedation

  • Induces a deep state of relaxation.
  • You may be conscious and able to respond to verbal cues and commands. However, you are likely to have limited awareness and memory of the procedure.
  • Strikes a balance between consciousness and comfort for moderate procedures.

Instructions

  • Do not eat or drink anything (including water) for at least six hours before your appointment, unless otherwise directed by your surgeon. In the event that you did eat or drink something, it is very important to inform your surgeon before your surgery (as it may need to be rescheduled).
  • Do not smoke for at least 12 hours before surgery. Ideally, cut down or stop smoking as soon as possible prior to the day of surgery.
  • If you develop a chest cold, head cold, upset stomach or bowel before your appointment please advise us.
  • If your surgeon has advised you to take any medication on the day of your surgery, please take it with a minimal amount of water (a few sips only).
  • Your surgeon will advise you as to which of your daily medications you may take on the day of your surgery. Please check with them first. If you are taking insulin for your diabetes, you will receive special instructions.
  • Please wear loose-fitting clothes with short sleeves. This will make insertion of the intravenous line and monitors easier.
  • Please do not wear any perfume, jewelry, nail polish or makeup. If you are wearing contact lenses, please remove them and wear eyeglasses on the day of the surgery.
  • Please visit the restroom just before your appointment.
  • No smoking until the recovery period is over. Ideally, cut down or stop smoking as soon as possible prior to the day of surgery.
  • A responsible adult must accompany the patient to the office, remain in the office during the procedure, and drive the patient home.
  • The patient should not drive a vehicle or operate any machinery for 24 hours following surgery.

General Anesthesia

  • Induces a deep, unconscious state for extensive procedures.
  • Ensures you're completely unaware and pain-free during surgery.
  • Highly recommended for complex and lengthy surgeries.

Instructions
