Anesthesia

LOCAL ANESTHESIA

Great Plains Oral Surgery & Implant Center offers local anesthesia for all procedures regardless if the patient has any other type of anesthesia in addition. Intravenous Sedation and General Anesthesia are the most common types of supplemental anesthesia we use in our outpatient surgical area.

CONSCIOUS SEDATION

With intravenous sedation or conscious sedation an intravenous catheter is placed and intravenous fluids are administered. The patient is continously monitored as described. Medications such as Midazolam (an amnesia causing sedative drug.) Fentanyl (a narcotic for pain relief) and Propofol or another similiar drug are used alone or in combination.

The patient is sedated, relaxed and may have no awareness or recollection of procedure.

INTRAVENOUS GENERAL ANESTHESIA:

Intravenous general anesthesia is typically referred to as a deeper level of sedation where the patient is essentially asleep during the procedure but breathing on their own accord.

BOARD CERTIFICATION IN ANESTHESIA

Dr.Steven R.Hinze is Board Certified in Dental Anesthesia and is licensed in Nebraska, to administer General anesthesia.
