Anesthesia Options
Every member of our care team at Boulder Oral Surgery is dedicated to your comfort and safety. Oral surgeons are qualified in the safe administration of anesthesia in addition to receiving years of education and training beyond dental school to perform the wide scope of treatments involving the oral and maxillofacial area.
Dr. Nedbalski and Dr. Luter design a custom treatment plan for every patient. The type of anesthesia you will receive for your treatment will be discussed and selected during your first visit.
Types of Anesthesia
Boulder Oral Surgery performs a wide scope of oral surgery procedures and offers many types of anesthesia for the comfort and safety of our patients. The anesthesia used for your procedure will be selected by your oral surgeon. Your health history, personal preference, and unique treatment plan will all be considered when deciding which anesthesia is right for you. There are four common types of anesthesia:
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia provides localized numbness to the area it is administered. This allows any surgical discomfort to be blocked while the patient remains awake.
Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous oxide helps a patient to feel more relaxed during their procedure. Also known as laughing gas, nitrous oxide is inhaled through a mask.
Intravenous (IV) Sedation
Intravenous (IV) sedation is administered directly into a vein and allows the patient to enter a sleep-like state for the procedure.
General Anesthesia
Hospital-Based or Surgery Center-Based General Anesthesia is usually reserved for surgical procedures that are extensive or complex.
