Mobile Anesthesia

Anesthesia

At our office, patients have a choice of IV sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or local anesthesia only. However, for optimal comfort, over 95 percent of patients undergoing oral procedures choose to be asleep with IV sedation.

Forms of anesthesia:

IV sedation

  • Administered in our office by Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi
  • You will be asleep during procedure and immediately awake upon completion
  • Requires an IV access and full monitoring
  • Recovery is quick: 30-45 minutes and the patient is often ready to go home
  • Requires patient to avoid drinking or eating anything for 8 hours before and to have some one as escort post-procedure.

Nitrous oxide sedation

  • Administered in our office by Dr. H. Ryan Kazemi
  • Given via a nasal mask
  • Recovery takes two to three minutes
  • May eat or drink prior to surgery and no escort is necessary

Local anesthesia

  • The ‘numbing’ anesthesia
  • Numbing resolves over two to three hours
