GENERAL ANAESTHESIA SERVICES

This in-house service is rare in dental surgeries in Turkey, and indeed abroad. Our specialist anaesthetists can safely administer general anaesthesia, as well as the intravenous administration of sedatives. Our general anaesthesia equipment, including special hysteresis filters, is hygienically sterilised and is approved by the Ministry of Health. If you, or a member of your family, suffer from dental phobia, or are disabled, or require paediatric dental treatment, please let us know, and we can make the necessary arrangements. For our patients, our clinic has six fully functional operating theatres offering general anaesthesia. We also provide a comfortable VIP rest room for patients recovering from anaesthetics.

When is general anaesthesia necessary?

General anaesthesia is generally used for small children, adults with dental phobia, and disabled patients with cooperation/coordination problems, and who cannot be treated under normal clinical conditions (such as local anaesthesia). These groups of people might interrupt the dental treatment with physical reactions (such as gag reflex, involuntary defensive twitches, and spasms) that might prove to be a danger to themselves, or negate the treatment altogether by their physical reactions or actions.

Is there a risk to the patient?

The administration of general anaesthesia is under the careful eye of a professional anaesthetist in one of our fully equipped operating theatres. General anaesthesia takes place only after a detailed evaluation of the general condition and medical history of the patient has taken place. It must be pointed out that any drugs administered to the body will have side effects. It is also very important for a patient to follow recommendations before and after the operation. The advances in drugs and devices have now significantly reduced the risks.

Is there a risk for a patient during anaesthesia?

Any medication administered to the body will have side effects with minimal risks. The medications offered for general anaesthesia, and especially unconscious sedation, are safely administered by an anaesthetist and reanimation specialist in a fully equipped operating theatre, only after a detailed evaluation of the general condition and medical history of the patient. It is very important for a patient to follow recommendations before and after the operation. Advances in the drugs and equipment used have now significantly reduced the risks.
