General Anesthesia for Dental Treatment in Winnipeg

General Anesthesia For Dental Anxiety at Greenwoods Dental in Winnipeg

General anesthesia puts you into a fully unconscious state during your dental procedure — no sounds, no sensations, no memory. Our licensed anesthesiologist monitors you throughout every step.

WHAT IS GENERAL ANESTHESIA?

Fully Unconscious. Completely Safe

Unlike IV sedation — where you remain in a drowsy but responsive state — general anesthesia induces complete unconsciousness.

At Greenwoods Dental, general anesthesia is administered by a licensed anesthesiologist in our fully equipped surgical suite. Your breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels are continuously monitored from the moment sedation begins to the moment you wake up.

It is the most comprehensive sedation option we offer — reserved for patients who need it most, and administered with the highest standards of clinical safety.
