Overview
Sleep dentistry is an important part of the All-On-4 Plus® procedure, helping ensure a comfortable, controlled experience on the day of surgery.
While there are different types of sleep dentistry options, At All On 4 Plus® Premium Providers, for full arch rehabilitation, we use general anaesthetics to ensure that patients are fully asleep and unaware during surgery. A qualified anaesthetist will monitor your condition throughout the entire surgery.
It is important that you are assessed before treatment to ensure that you are suitable to go under a general anaesthetic. This is done from a safety standpoint.
