Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Sedation

The surgeons at Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery offer a wide range of anesthesia options, including local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, and general anesthesia.

At your surgical consultation, our doctors will review your medical history and consider the procedures you’re having performed to determine the optimal method of anesthesia/sedation. In most cases, IV sedation is recommended.

Dental Implant procedures, while involving minimal post-operative pain, usually involve multiple pieces of equipment and absolute stillness during the procedure. This is best accomplished with sedation during placements of implants.

IV sedation involves the use of sedating medication delivered directly into the bloodstream. Patients enter a state of mental and physical relaxation, without being “under” as with general anesthesia. IV sedation is safe and effective. It alleviates anxiety and promotes complete comfort. Additionally, treatment and recovery time tends to be shorter using IV sedation than with other methods.

Dr. Gannon, Dr. Lee, and Dr. Sherry are licensed to practice both medicine and dentistry.

They are fully trained and certified to administer IV sedation and general anesthesia. Our highly trained oral surgery team includes anesthesiologists, nurses, and dental assistants trained in:

•	CPR – Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation/Basic Life Support
•	PALS – Pediatric Life Support
•	ACLS – Advanced Cardiac Life Support
•	DAANCE – Dental Anesthesia Assistant National Certification Examination

These additional certifications help with administration of your safe anesthesia. At Dallas Center for Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, you’ll receive an exceptional level of care by a world-class team.

Patient Feedback

Dr. Sherry was very professional and personable. Day one of meeting him he made me and my family confident about surgery. He was available for questions, concerns, and did a thorough job talking us through the process/recovery. His team was also incredible, so helpful and friendly. I had a great healing process, no complications, and overall a great experience! I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sherry and his team if you are even considering oral surgery.

Dr. Lee and his staff did such an amazing job. All within one week I had a consultation and procedure to have wisdom teeth removed. I’ve already referred a friend to him as well. They are so affordable and made each encounter comfortable. He truly cares for his patients. So all in all I thank him and his staff for a job well done. Definitely call and make that appointment no need to look any further.

Absolutely THE best dental experience I have had in my entire life! I had been suffering from a failed root canal (done by a dentist I shall not name). Dr. Gannon and his staff took care of my needs (xrays, antibiotics, etc) until I was able to get the tooth surgically removed. No pain and aftercare follow-up with them was great! If there were 10 stars I would rate them at that! I wish they did regular dentistry there too.
