WHAT IS GENERAL ANESTHESIA?
General anesthesia, sometimes called deep IV (intravenous) sedation, is the strongest type of sedation we offer at Zensmiles. Board-certified dentist Dr. Mohit Shardha is uniquely trained in carrying out both advanced dental services and anesthesiology techniques to help keep patients calm and comfortable and (in some cases) to ensure that they have no memory of their treatment. Since Dr. Shardha is a qualified anesthesiologist, he will be able to monitor your dosage levels and overall condition throughout your appointment. Being able to administer general anesthesia means that our patients can receive a range of treatments conveniently at our office rather than having to travel to get certain surgeries — a perk many of our clients enjoy. To learn more about general anesthesia and if it could be an excellent complement for your oral procedure, get in touch with our team in Frisco, TX at your earliest convenience.

CANDIDATES FOR GENERAL ANESTHESIA
You could be a candidate for general anesthesia if you're receiving invasive dental surgery, have certain dental anxiety, or have a condition that makes performing normal dental work difficult or impossible without complete sedation. To determine if general anesthesia is right for your needs and the procedure you need, you will first need to meet with Dr. Shardha for a one-on-one appointment where he will evaluate your overall health.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Before your procedure, you will meet with Dr. Shardha so he can go over what you should and should not do in the day or hours before you undergo general anesthesia. He will evaluate your overall health to determine if you are healthy enough to be fully put under and will design a personalized treatment plan that is suited to your personal needs. Throughout your procedure, Dr. Shardha and his team will carefully monitor your condition and adjust your dosage as needed. We will also keep a close eye on you once your session is over to ensure that you come around safely. We will continue to monitor your condition in our clean, comfortable recovery room. After receiving general anesthesia, you will need a ride home from a reliable adult.
