At Make A Smile Dental, your comfort during oral surgery is our utmost priority. To ensure that our patients have a stress-free and painless experience, we utilize a variety of sedation methods tailored to the individual’s needs and the complexity of the procedure. These sedation methods range from local anesthesia, which numbs the area to be operated on, to more extensive options such as conscious sedation, deep sedation, or general anesthesia which make you either partially or fully unconscious during the procedure. The choice of sedation is carefully determined by our expert team, considering factors like the patient’s anxiety levels, overall health, and the nature of the surgical procedure. While the surgery is being performed, our patients generally do not feel pain, but rather a pressure sensation. Postoperatively, any discomfort is usually well controlled with prescribed pain medications. Our team will provide specific instructions on pain management following your procedure. Please note, the idea of pain can be subjective and varies among individuals. Rest assured, we strive to make the experience as comfortable and pain-free as possible. And, as always, we encourage open communication about any concerns or questions you might have regarding pain and sedation in oral surgery.
