Who Is This Approach Suitable For?
Sleep dentistry at Melton Dental House is available for patients who experience significant dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or other factors that make it difficult to tolerate treatment while awake. For some patients, these barriers have prevented regular dental visits over an extended period, resulting in multiple concerns that all need clinical attention. A single GA appointment can allow the clinical team to address a range of issues without requiring multiple individual appointments.
What Can Be Treated in a Single GA Appointment?
The range of treatment that can be completed under general anaesthesia in a single session at Melton Dental House includes fillings across multiple teeth, surgical extractions of heavily broken-down or damaged teeth, and other restorative work. Your clinician will assess your full clinical situation and develop a treatment plan before your GA appointment so that everything is prepared in advance.
Fillings
Multiple fillings across different areas of the mouth can be completed in a single session under GA. This removes the need for several separate appointments with local anaesthetic, which is one of the most commonly cited barriers for anxious patients.
Surgical Extractions
Teeth that are heavily broken down and require surgical removal can also be included in the same GA session. Your clinician will identify which teeth require extraction as part of the pre-operative treatment planning process.
What Happens After the GA Appointment?
Follow-up appointments are a standard part of care after a GA procedure at Melton Dental House. Your clinician will schedule these at appropriate intervals to monitor healing and address any further care needed once the initial treatment is complete.
