What is General Anaesthesia?

General anaesthesia
During General anaesthesia you are placed into a drug-induced state where you will not respond to any stimuli, including pain.

Who Is Suitable For This Service?
General Anaesthesia is a preferred option for patients that experience any of the following issues:

• Dental Fear or anxiety
• Fear of needles or drills
• Bad dental experiences in the past
• Have a strong gag reflex
• They need multiple and / or lengthy procedures

General Anaesthesia Fee Is Claimable From Medicare
As all General Anaesthesia procedures are carried out only by fully qualified consultant anaesthetists, a significant portion of the fee is claimable under Medicare!

Why under General Anaesthesia

We only administer General Anaesthesia, because at all times:

• The patient’s airway is fully protected
• Oxygen is continuously supplied to the patient’s lungs via a ventilator
• The patient is hemodynamically monitored
• It can be carried out safely for a long duration (allowing the dentist to perform multiple procedures in one session)
• The patient is comfortable, pain free and unaware of the dental procedure
