Why choose us?
Anesthesia
Our surgeons- Dr. Adam Samji and Dr. Nayeem Esmail – and team are highly trained, experienced and licensed to administer various types of anesthesia in a safe and comfortable manner to our patients.
Dr. Nayeem Esmail and Dr. Adam Samji will present you with an anesthesia option that is the most appropriate for your needs. The selection of anesthesia techniques is usually determined by the level of patient anxiety and complexity of the surgery. Both options presented will control pain, and will make the surgery very comfortable.
Local Anesthesia
A local anesthetic called lidocaine is administered into the surgical area. A local anesthetic is used along with the other methods of anesthesia but can be used alone for simple oral surgery procedures, such as tooth extraction. Local anesthesia allows the patient to remain completely conscious throughout the procedure.
Office-Based Intravenous (IV) Sedation
This type of anesthesia is administered through an intravenous line (IV). Also known as Dental Intravenous Anesthesia, or Twilight Sedation/Sleep, this type of anesthesia is very calming and will alleviate the anxiety associated with your treatment.
Hospital- or Surgery Center-Based General Anesthesia
If you are undergoing extensive procedures such as face and jaw reconstruction, or TMJ surgery, you may be admitted to a hospital or surgery center where you will receive general anesthesia from an anesthesiologist.
