General anesthesia is provided in a hospital setting. Our oral surgeons are on the medical staff at Munson Medical Center in Traverse City, Michigan. We work closely with hospital staff and specialists to ensure patients are fully comfortable and every precaution is taken.
Children who have extreme difficulty receiving care in the dental office and individuals with special needs are excellent candidates for hospital dentistry. We may also recommend hospital dentistry for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions that make a hospital the best facility in which to receive treatment. Recommendations for treatments and hospital dentistry are based on our findings during exams and on patients’ experiences and behavior while in our office. Hospital dentistry is recommended only when necessary, and you as the parent will be provided with all possible options first.
