I came to the clinic for surgery for a cyst growing above my upper teeth. Dr Fischer was amazing as well as my nurse, the anesthetist and the front desk staff. Follow up care was well explained. This is a fabulous clinic and state of the art surgical facility. I highly recommend!
Your Anesthesia Options at Airdrie Oral Surgery
Feeling a little nervous? That’s normal—and we’ve got you. At Airdrie Oral Surgery, we offer different types of anesthesia to make your experience as easy and comfortable as possible. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the best option based on your health, the type of surgery, and your preferences.
Your Comfort, Your Choice:
Local Anesthesia
This keeps you awake, but completely numb in the area we’re treating. Perfect for simpler procedures like basic tooth extractions or minor soft tissue work.
IV Sedation
With IV sedation, you’ll feel calm and drowsy—many patients even nap during the procedure. You’ll still receive local anesthetic, and our team will monitor you closely throughout.
General Anesthesia
This is the deepest level of anesthesia we offer. You’ll be completely asleep, unaware of the surgery, and pain-free. It’s safely administered by an anesthesiologist, with full monitoring and support before, during, and after.
Safety Is Always Our Priority
- Your vitals are tracked every moment—heart rate, oxygen, blood pressure—by highly trained professionals.
- Our team is ACLS-certified and ready for anything (though serious complications are rare).
- After surgery, you’ll rest in our recovery area until you’re fully ready to go home—usually within an hour.
What About Side Effects?
It’s common to feel a little groggy, sore, or nauseous after surgery. Some patients also notice a sore throat (from the breathing tube used in general anesthesia). These symptoms usually go away quickly. We’ll make sure you’re comfortable before you leave and follow up after your appointment.
