We understand that visiting the dentist can be a stressful experience for many people. That's why we prioritize your comfort above all else at The Comfort Dentist. Regardless of your procedure, Dr. Kandare and our Chesapeake team want to ensure that your visit is as comfortable and anxiety-free as possible. We even offer general anesthesia in some instances or for specific patients who need help to ease any fear.
General anesthesia is a type of sedation that places you in a deep sleep-like state. During this time, you will be completely unconscious and feel no pain or discomfort. Unlike local or conscious sedation, which reduces pain and anxiety while keeping you awake, general anesthesia provides a deeper level of sedation.
This state of controlled unconsciousness is administered by a trained professional who will closely monitor your vital signs throughout the procedure. This ensures your safety while allowing for effective and comfortable dental work.
While each patient's experience with general anesthesia may vary, most people report no awareness or memory of the procedure. You'll fall asleep quickly after the anesthesia is administered and wake up once it has worn off.
Upon waking, it's normal to feel a bit groggy or disoriented, but these feelings typically dissipate within a few hours. Remember, you'll need someone to drive you home after the procedure, as it can take some time for the effects of the anesthesia to wear off fully.

While many dental procedures can be performed with local anesthesia or conscious sedation, there are situations where general anesthesia may be necessary:
General anesthesia can ensure maximum comfort for complex surgeries like wisdom tooth extraction or dental implants.
If a dental procedure is expected to take several hours, general anesthesia can help make the process more comfortable.
For patients who experience severe anxiety or fear about dental work, general anesthesia can provide a stress-free experience.
Certain patients may benefit from general anesthesia for specific medical conditions or special needs.
Remember, each patient's needs are unique. Dr. Kandare will discuss all available options to determine the most suitable approach for your care.
While general anesthesia is generally safe and effective, it's important to be aware of potential risks and side effects, as with any medical procedure. The risk can depend on several factors, including your general health, age, and the specific procedure. Some possible risks of general anesthesia may include:
Our anesthesiologist at The Comfort Dentist will discuss these potential risks with you in detail, considering your medical history and existing conditions. We will always prioritize your safety and comfort when considering general anesthesia.
