Sedation and anesthesia - Implantology, oral surgery and cosmetic dentistry | Dental Centar Dubravica Vodice Croatia

Sedation is a state of calmness and decreased consciousness that is achieved by medications that affect the patient’s central nervous system, relieving feelings of discomfort and fear. This allows the surgeon to conduct specific treatments and to retain constant verbal contact with the patient during the entire procedure (2–3 hours). Sedation is performed under the supervision of an anaesthesiologist. During the treatment, the activity of the heart and lungs are not disturbed, and the numbness wears off about 20 minutes after treatment.

Local anesthesia

Local anaesthesia is a state in which the patient is conscious during surgery but he doesn`t feel any pain. It lasts about 2 hours.
