At Head and Neck Surgical Associates, we are proud to provide professional and compassionate care for sedation oral surgery in Portland. We offer multiple levels of anesthesia tailored to meet our patients’ individual needs, ensuring each procedure is performed safely and comfortably. Our team of dual-licensed oral surgeons and physicians specializes in both simple and complex procedures, all delivered in a soothing and state-of-the-art environment.

Many dental procedures can be completed with local anesthesia alone. However, we understand that some situations—whether due to the complexity of the surgery or the patient’s anxiety level—require more advanced sedation options. That’s why we combine both local and general anesthetic techniques to offer a safe, convenient, and stress-free surgical experience.

All of our surgeons at Head and Neck Surgical Associates are extensively trained in anesthesia delivery and have completed thousands of hours in both medical and surgical training. Each member of our team is certified in:

• Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
• Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)
• Basic Life Support (BLS)

With advanced certifications and our AAAHC-accredited surgery center, we are fully equipped to safely administer general anesthesia in an outpatient setting.

Our sedation oral surgery options in Portland are designed to make your experience as calm and painless as possible. Whether you are undergoing a simple tooth extraction or a more complex procedure such as dental implant surgery or wisdom teeth removal, sedation significantly reduces anxiety and discomfort before, during, and after surgery.

Our tailored sedation solutions include:

• Local Anesthesia – Numbs a specific part of the mouth where the procedure takes place.
• Oral Sedation – A pill taken prior to your procedure to help you relax.
• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas) – Minimal sedation inhaled during surgery to ease anxiety.
• Intravenous (IV) Sedation – Provides moderate to deep sedation quickly and effectively.
• Full General Anesthesia – Administered through intubation and inhaled anesthetic agents by a board-certified medical anesthesiologist at our accredited Portland facility.

With these options, we can find the level of sedation that best suits your medical history, anxiety levels, and procedure type.

Sedation is not just for comfort—it can also be a medical necessity for various patient populations or complex cases. At Head and Neck Surgical Associates, our surgeons are board-certified physicians as well as licensed dentists. This unique combination allows us to address your oral health needs within the greater context of your overall medical condition.
