Anesthesia

Many procedures are performed with the patient undergoing IV Conscious Sedation or "Twig light" Sleep Anesthesia. Procedures currently being performed in our out-patient surgical facility include: Orthognathic (Jaw) Surgery, Dental Implants, TMJ Arthroscopy, Endoscopic Brow Lifts, Face-Lifts, Rhinoplasties (nose), and Blepharoplasties (eyes).

IV Sedation

Many out-patient surgical procedures are safely and comfortably performed with IV Conscious Sedation. Your Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon is uniquely qualified to perform this method of Anesthesia. The OMFS Residency requires extensive training in General Anesthesia and airway management. Procedures are performed with continuous monitoring of breathing, oxygen content in the tissues (saturation), blood pressure, and heart rate and rhythm.
