Dental Implant Glossary General Anesthesia Going to sleep, or being"out", for treatment.  True general anesthesia is a deep state,                      and includes the loss of all reflexes and sometimes requires respiratory assistance.   This state is                      rarely necessary for general dental procedures, as what even the most fearful patients                      want is no pain, no consciousness of the procedures, and no memory of the experience.                      These needs can be satisfied with IV Sedation, described below.  General anesthesia is available                      in our practice for those that require or demand it.
