MEDIC ANTALYA Dental Clinic can offer dental treatments to its patients through general anesthesia or sedation in its contracted clinics. In both of these options, treatments are carried out under the control of general anesthesiologists. By means of dental treatment under general anesthesia, the patient never feels pain or tension during the procedure.

It can be preferred for patients with phobias to the dentist's chair and even for cases whose treatments can be time consuming or stressful. In general, there are 2 types of anesthesia:

• General anesthesia

  Whole body is anesthetized and the patient stays unconscious throughout the procedure. As a result of the dentist's opinion according to the difficulty degree of treatment, it is applied under suitable conditions.

• Local anesthesia

  Only the area to be operated is anesthetized by anesthesia injection at the point of operation or surgery.

• Sedation

  Another third option is sedation. During this operation, some drugs are used to reduce the patient's restlessness and pain, and enable the patient to relax. The patient who is sedated calms down and responds to the dentist's requests such as opening his mouth and turning his face. Accompanied with local anesthesia, this technique allows both surgical and clinical procedures.

• Large bone grafts to ensure the fixation of dental implants
• Treatment of fractures in the facial bones.
• Orthognathic surgery.
• Treatment of large pathological lesions.
• Reconstructions after removal of tumors.
• Patients who do not have tolerance to local anesthesia.
• Surgical procedures in young children.
• General anesthesia is required for special patients with extensive physical, mental, emotional or medical limitations that prevent conscious treatment in a clinical environment.

General anesthesia in dental treatment is a safe method to control the behavior and reactions of hard-to-convince patients, especially children. The biggest advantage is to perform a series of dental procedures in a short time, to make work of the dentist easier and preventing possible accidents during the procedures.

The negative effects of the drugs used for general anesthesia in the field of dentistry and medicine is quite small today. They can also be easily removed from the body. In today's anesthesia, vital findings of the patient are monitored instantaneously throughout the anesthesia by the help of auxiliary devices. This gives physicians the opportunity to terminate anesthesia and intervene in unusual cases.

After the necessary evaluations are made, there will be no negative complications during general anesthesia applied by specialists of dental treatment and surgical procedures.

In dental applications, Sedation is a technique that reduces the patient's level of consciousness without affecting the ability to breathe and respond to stimulants.

Shortly before starting to the necessary dental treatment, the anesthesiologist gives a sedative drug into the vein. After this application, the anesthesiologist stays with the patient during the whole procedure and continues his/her control and the dentist performs the dental procedures.

With the effect of sedation, the patient calms down and responds positively to the oral commands and demands of the dentist. Thus, it positively contributes to the speed, efficiency and effectiveness of treatment.

Sedation in dental treatment operations positively affects the patients who have; anxiety, fear of feeling pain, disturbing by noise exposure, fear of anesthesia needles, and patients who will have extensive surgical operations and in more comprehensive surgical procedures that do not require hospitalization.

Sedation gives a sense of comfort to patient and facilitates the work of the dentist and the patient.

In case of need, general anesthesia is performed in our clinic with the help of specialists after the necessary examinations are made. You can contact MEDIC ANTALYA for detailed information about dental treatments and surgical procedures under general anesthesia.
