About Anesthesia:
At Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center, we are dedicated to ensuring patient safety, comfort, and exceptional outcomes through expertly administered anesthesia tailored to each individual’s needs. For less invasive procedures, such as wisdom tooth extractions or minor oral surgeries, we utilize local anesthesia to numb the targeted surgical area, allowing patients to remain fully awake while experiencing no pain.
Our team employs state-of-the-art injection techniques and premium-grade anesthetics to achieve rapid onset and sustained pain relief, ensuring a comfortable experience throughout the procedure. For more complex surgeries or patients with heightened anxiety, we offer general anesthesia, expertly administered to induce deep sedation or complete unconsciousness. This approach is carefully customized based on the intricacy of the procedure, the patient’s medical background, and their unique preferences, guaranteeing the best possible surgical outcomes.
Safety is the cornerstone of our practice at Arkansas Oral & Facial Surgery Center. During every procedure, we utilize cutting-edge monitoring technology to continuously track vital signs, including heart rate, oxygen saturation, and blood pressure, ensuring patient stability and safety under anesthesia
Patient comfort and clear communication are at the heart of our anesthesia process. For those receiving local anesthesia, we apply topical numbing agents to minimize discomfort from injections, ensuring a virtually pain-free experience. For patients under general anesthesia, our team ensures a seamless and gentle transition into unconsciousness, carefully guiding them through the process. We take the time to explain every aspect of the procedure—whether it’s the sensation of localized numbness or what to expect upon waking from general anesthesia—to alleviate anxiety and foster trust. Our commitment to patient care extends into the recovery phase, where we provide comprehensive, easy-to-follow post-operative instructions and schedule follow-up appointments to closely monitor healing and address any concerns.
Dr Wright has served as an anesthesiologist in medical facilities in both Arkansas and Oklahoma for more than 25 years. She is licensed in Arkansas and Oklahoma as well as a Member of the American Board of Anesthesiology. Professional memberships include the American Society of Anesthesiologists, Arkansas Society of Anesthesiologists and the Arkansas Medical Society.
Dr Wright and her family reside in Fayetteville with her husband and two children.
