Who Should Choose General Anesthesia for Dental Surgery and Implants in Turkey?
General anesthesia is not for every patient or every treatment. It is a great option when comfort, time or anxiety make local anesthesia hard.
Dental phobia
Severe fear or past bad experiences. Wake up with the work finished.
Long, complex surgery
Full arch cases, full mouth implants and zygomatic implants in one sitting.
Many extractions
Multiple teeth or impacted wisdom teeth with less stress. See tooth extraction.
Strong gag reflex
Sleep makes long procedures easy for patients who cannot tolerate treatment awake.

How Does Dental Surgery Under General Anesthesia Work, Step by Step?
- Share your health history. Send your medical details and X-rays on WhatsApp for a free first review.
- Pre-surgery check. Blood tests, ECG and a consultation with the anesthesiologist.
- Fasting. You will be told exactly when to stop eating and drinking. Usually several hours before.
- Surgery while you sleep. Your heart, oxygen and breathing are monitored throughout.
- Recovery. You wake up in a recovery room. A companion takes you to your hotel. Check-ups follow the next day.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You are in stable general health
- You need long or multiple procedures
- You have severe dental anxiety
We may recommend another option if you have unstable heart or lung conditions, or recent illness. Sedation or local anesthesia may be safer. See full mouth restoration in Turkey for staged plans.

- Tell us about all medicines and allergies
- Follow fasting instructions exactly
- Bring a companion for the first 24 hours
Don’t
