At Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center, we specialize in providing expert local and general dental anesthesia for oral surgery, ensuring patients receive safe, effective, and personalized care. Whether undergoing a routine extraction or a more complex procedure, our team is adept at administering anesthesia that minimizes discomfort and maximizes comfort, making us a trusted choice for oral surgery needs.

Our practicing anesthesiologist, Dr. Cara Wright provides both local and general anesthesia, bringing a wealth of experience to every case for patients at Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

Local anesthesia, often used for less invasive procedures like wisdom tooth removal, numbs the specific surgical site, allowing patients to remain awake yet pain-free. We use precise injection methods and high-quality anesthetics to ensure rapid onset and prolonged relief. For patients requiring deeper sedation or unconsciousness, general anesthesia is expertly administered, ideal for extensive surgeries or those with significant anxiety. Our team tailors the approach based on the procedure’s complexity and the patient’s medical history, ensuring optimal outcomes.

Safety is paramount at Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center. We employ advanced monitoring technology during procedures, tracking heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure to maintain patient stability under anesthesia. Our surgeons and staff are certified in advanced life support, prepared to handle any situation with confidence. Before surgery, we conduct comprehensive evaluations to identify allergies, medications, or conditions that might affect anesthesia, allowing us to customize dosages and methods with precision.

We also emphasize patient comfort and communication. For local anesthesia, we apply topical numbing agents to reduce injection discomfort, while with general anesthesia, we ensure a smooth transition to unconsciousness. Our team explains each step—whether it’s the sensation of numbness or what to expect waking up—easing fears and building trust. Post-operative care is equally thorough, with detailed instructions to manage recovery and follow-ups to monitor healing.

Patients at Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center frequently commend the seamless anesthesia experience, noting how it transforms potentially stressful procedures into manageable ones. Our ability to expertly blend local and general anesthesia options sets us apart, catering to diverse needs with skill and empathy. At Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center, we take pride in delivering anesthesia that prioritizes safety, comfort, and exceptional surgical results, reinforcing our commitment to excellence in oral care.
