With general anesthesia and sedation this experience can be eliminated. EXTENSIVE TREATMENT - For procedures such as implant dentistry or full mouth rehabilitation, and extended procedures such as periodontal surgery, root canal therapy and surgery, anesthesia services provide increased patient comfort.
