Dental Treatments Under General Anesthesia

At Dr Dhargalkar’s Multispeciality Dental Clinic, we understand that some patients—especially children, anxious individuals, or those with special healthcare needs—may not be able to undergo dental treatment comfortably while awake. For such cases, we offer Dental Treatments Under General Anesthesia (GA) in a safe, controlled, hospital-based environment.

General Anesthesia allows us to perform multiple or complex procedures in a single session while the patient is unconscious, ensuring a completely painless and stress-free experience.

What Is General Anesthesia in Dentistry?

General Anesthesia is a medically supervised technique where the patient is made fully unconscious and unaware during the entire dental procedure. Breathing, heart rate, and other vitals are continuously monitored by an experienced anesthesiologist to ensure complete safety.

This approach is used when treatments cannot be done comfortably under local anesthesia or sedation.

Who Needs Dental Treatment Under GA?

General Anesthesia is recommended for:

1. Children Who Are:

  • Extremely fearful or anxious

  • Unable to sit still for long

  • Uncooperative due to age

  • Having extensive dental decay

  • Special needs or medically compromised

2. Adults Who:

  • Have severe dental phobia

  • Have a strong gag reflex

  • Need multiple or long procedures

  • Have special healthcare needs

  • Require surgical treatments beyond local anesthesia

  • Are undergoing full-mouth rehabilitation

Dental Procedures Performed Under General Anesthesia

A wide range of dental treatments can be safely completed under GA, including:

  • Full mouth rehabilitation for children

  • Multiple fillings

  • Root canal treatments

  • Tooth extractions (simple & surgical)

  • Impacted wisdom teeth removal

  • Pediatric root canal (pulpectomy / pulpotomy)

  • Stainless steel crowns & space maintainers

  • Gum surgeries

  • Oral & maxillofacial procedures

  • Cyst & tumour removal

  • Implant surgeries (in selected cases)

General Anesthesia allows the dentist to complete all required treatments in one visit, making it highly beneficial for patients who cannot undergo multiple sittings.
