When people come to get All-on-4 or any other dental implant treatment in Cancun, they ask if its going to hurt and if they can be put to sleep during the surgery. We always reassure our patients that All-on-4 only requires local anesthesia but you might opt for Sedation Dentistry. We have a licensed anesthesiologist for this purpose.
The first thing you should know is that Sedation Dentistry is NOT general anesthesia, which means you won’t be put to sleep but you won’t remember a thing of what’s happening and you will be able to follow the doctor’s directions during the surgery. You will stay awake in a haze and you might slur your words a bit.
Who can get Sedation Dentistry?
In all cases, the doctor will still need to evaluate your medical history to see if you have any other conditions that might have to be taken into account to decide if you can get Sedation Dentistry without further problems.
These are some conditions we need to know in advance:
The doctor will speak with you and work together to see if the sedation dentistry is the best option for you. Also, after the surgery you might need to go back to your hotel and rest, or wait at our clinic. You shouldn’t drive after dentistry sedation and we can arrange transportation for you if you come on your own.
You can contact our team of experts and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We can provide you information about All-on-4 in general as well as give you a free online evaluation with our doctors. They will review your case to make sure you are a candidate for this procedure and offer other alternative solutions if available. We have won several customer service awards because we give our patients all the attention they need and answer all their questions, and even assisting them to plan their dental vacation to Cancun. Whatever you need, we are here to help you out!
