Yes! A full range of anesthesia options is one of the most significant advantages of seeing an oral surgeon instead of your regular dentist. Anxiety or fear can make oral surgery traumatic. Oral surgeons are trained in and familiar with using all forms of anesthesia, from local anesthetics to numb the area to general anesthesia to make a patient wholly unconscious. At Hudson Oral Surgery, our operating suite is fully equipped to administer all forms of anesthesia, including IV sedation. Our dental care team is trained in every aspect of monitoring and caring for you while you are sedated and during recovery.
