Tooth extraction under anesthesia is a procedure in which patients are put under general anesthesia before teeth are removed. It is often used in patients with extreme anxiety, major procedures or complex surgery. A comprehensive assessment is done before the procedure and the patient is monitored by an anesthetist to ensure that the treatment will be safe. Post-operative care instructions will follow the procedure.
Having teeth extracted under anesthesia means that you will sleep deeply during the treatment. You will then feel no pain and will not notice what is happening. This can happen if you are very afraid of the dentist, if many teeth need to be extracted, or if the teeth are very difficult to extract. The dentist uses special medicines to put you to sleep. While you sleep, the dentist extracts the teeth. When you wake up, you will be in a special room to recover. You may still feel a little sleepy. The dentist will tell you how to care for your mouth and what medications you can use to reduce pain.
How long it takes to extract teeth under anesthesia depends on several things, such as how many teeth need to be extracted, how complicated the procedure is and how healthy the patient is. If it only involves one tooth and the procedure is not too difficult, it can be done quickly, perhaps within half an hour to an hour. But if many teeth need to be extracted or the procedure is complicated, it may take longer, even several hours. At Vast Teeth In 1 Day, the expected treatment time is shared with you prior to the treatment, so that you know exactly where you stand and will not be faced with any surprises.
All teeth extraction under anesthesia means that all the teeth in your mouth are removed while you are under anesthesia so that you do not feel any pain. This may be necessary if your teeth are very bad, for example due to tooth decay or gum problems. It can also be done if your teeth do not fit properly in your mouth, such as with severe jaw problems. Being under anesthesia means that you sleep deeply during the procedure and that you do not notice anything that is happening. After the procedure, you will wake up in a recovery room and be given aftercare instructions, such as how to care for your mouth and which painkillers to use.
The costs for tooth extraction under anesthesia vary depending on factors such as the number of teeth to be extracted and the complexity and duration of the treatment. It is more expensive than local anesthesia alone because of the additional costs for anesthesia and the anesthetist. Some health insurance policies can cover part of the costs, especially in the event of medical necessity. Contact us for an accurate estimate and check your health insurance for coverage options.
The reimbursement for tooth extraction under anesthesia varies per health insurer and depends on factors such as the insurer's policy, medical necessity and any conditions. Insurance policies offer varying levels of coverage for dental procedures, with some potentially covering the cost in full while others may provide more limited coverage. Medical necessity, such as serious dental problems, can increase the chance of reimbursement. Referrals or prior approval may also be required. Co-payments or deductibles may apply and vary by policy. It is important to contact your health insurer directly for specific information regarding reimbursement, including any conditions and costs. This will help you make an informed decision about dental procedures under anesthesia.

Yes, it is possible to have a tooth extracted under anesthesia. This is often done by people who are very anxious about dental procedures or complicated dental procedures. Under general anesthesia, the patient is put into a deep sleep, so that he does not feel anything and is not aware of the treatment.
The duration of dental anesthesia can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the dental procedure, the patient's response to the anesthetic agents and the patient's general health. In general, a dental procedure under anesthesia can take several hours, including the time needed for preparation, the procedure itself and the time for awakening from anesthesia. Based on your individual situation, we make an accurate estimate in advance of the time period, which we will communicate with you.
Before any dental procedure under anesthesia, you will usually need to fast to prevent food or liquids from entering your lungs. In addition, you must inform your dentist or anesthetist about all medications you are taking, because some medications can influence the effect of the anesthesia. It is also advised to avoid alcoholic drinks and smoking, as they can slow down the recovery process and influence the effects of the anesthesia.
