Comfortable, Painless, and Fear-Free Dental Treatment Is Possible
For many people, dental treatment can be a source of anxiety and stress. In particular, children, individuals with disabilities, patients with developmental disorders, or those with severe dental phobia may not respond well to traditional treatment methods. In such cases, dental treatment under general anesthesia offers a more comfortable and safer solution for both the patient and the dentist.
General anesthesia allows the patient to be fully asleep and unconscious during treatment, ensuring they feel no pain, sound, or discomfort. It is especially advantageous when multiple dental procedures need to be completed in a single session.
When Is General Anesthesia Preferred?
For individuals with severe dental anxiety or phobia
For patients with mental or physical disabilities
For young children who cannot cooperate during treatment
For patients with low pain tolerance or resistance to local anesthesia
When multiple dental treatments must be performed in one session

How Does the General Anesthesia Process Work?
Pre-Examination and Consultation
The patient’s overall health condition is evaluated. A consultation is held with the anesthesiologist, and necessary blood tests and examinations are performed.
Hospital or Surgical Center Setting
General anesthesia is administered in a fully equipped hospital or surgical center with maximum safety precautions.
Treatment Phase
The patient is completely asleep, and all necessary dental procedures are carried out. The process typically lasts between 1–2 hours.
Recovery and Monitoring
After treatment, the patient rests in a recovery room under observation and is usually discharged the same day.
Advantages
A completely painless and comfortable treatment experience
High success rate in patients resistant to standard dental procedures
Time efficiency — multiple treatments in one session
Prevention of psychological trauma in children
Safe intervention in complex dental cases
Who Is Not Suitable for General Anesthesia?
Patients with severe heart or respiratory diseases
Individuals who are medically unsuitable for anesthesia
Pregnant women in their first or last trimester
Note: Each patient must undergo a thorough pre-assessment before the procedure.
