Dr. Khanuja recommends IV anesthesia for longer more complex surgeries such as removal of
impacted wisdom teeth. If you are unsure of which anesthetic is best for your situation we would
suggest that you visit with us for a consult appointment to discuss your options. Whichever anesthetic
option you choose, our goal is to provide you with a safe, pleasant and effective anesthetic.

IV anesthesia is sometimes referred to as IV sedation and
sometimes referred to as general anesthesia. Although
technically not the same type of anesthesia that is given in a
hospital setting for general anesthesia, patients have the feeling
that they have been asleep for the duration procedure without
the accompanying nausea. IV anesthesia involves administering
medication through the arm. In addition to the IV medication
patients will also receive a local anesthetic (Novocaine) once
they are sleepy and unaware. This is done so that they will feel
numb and pain-free once the procedure is completed. All
patients undergoing IV anesthesia in our office are monitored
throughout the procedure in the same manner that patients are
monitored in a hospital setting.
