Dental implant surgery can be performed under local anesthesia, which means that you are awake but the area being treated is numb. This is the most common method used for dental implant surgery. However, some people may feel anxious or uncomfortable during the procedure, so they may request sedation or general anesthesia to help them relax or even sleep through the surgery.
The type of anesthesia used depends on the complexity of the procedure, the patient's medical history and preference, and the dentist's or oral surgeon's recommendation. Your dental professional will discuss the options with you and help you decide which anesthesia method is best for your individual needs.
