Can you be put to sleep for a dental implant?

Question

I am extremely, over the top nervous about even thinking about this procedure. Is it possible to be put under for this? And is it possible to do wisdom teeth at the same time?

Hi:You can definitely request to be put to sleep for implant surgery.  It's is best to consult with an oral surgeon, since they routinely do this for wisdom teeth extraction.Best,Dr. Maddahi

Yes, it is possible to be sedated for the dental procedures you indicated. Some general dentists can provide IV sedation, or you may be referred to a oral surgeon. It is up to the dentist if both the procedures can be done together depending on complexity of the case, or the medical history of the patient.
