General Anaesthetic in Doreen
If you have dental anxiety, you are not alone. Millions of Australians report having some level of dental anxiety. A fear of the dentist can keep you from getting the dentistry you need to stay healthy. At Doreen Dental Clinic, we offer general anaesthetic so you can receive your dentistry stress-free and completely comfortable.
How Does General Anaesthetic Work?
We need to do a complete medical workup to make sure general anaesthetic is safe for you. Once we determine you are a good candidate, we will perform your procedures in a medical setting where we work with an anaesthetist so we can monitor your vitals during the entire process, keeping you safe and comfortable.
With general anaesthetic, you will be ‘asleep’ during treatment. Therefore, you will be completely relaxed and have little to no memory of the entire process – something many of our patients love!
*All surgical and sedation procedures carry potential risks and complications. Your dentist will discuss these with you in detail before your treatment and answer any questions you may have.
What Procedures Are Best for General Anaesthesia?
While almost any procedure can qualify, most patients seek dental sedation for surgical procedures like wisdom teeth removal or dental implant placement.
General anaesthetic can also be a benefit in the following situations:
- A strong gag reflex
- A complex treatment plan
- Physical or mental challenges
- Special needs patients
- Difficulty sitting still for long
Your Smile Is Important. Don’t Put off Your Dentistry!
Putting off your dental care can lead to more expensive and extensive treatment needs. Also, more and more research links oral health to overall health. Rather than putting off the dental care you need to stay healthy, let our Doreen Dental Clinic team help you regain your oral health gently and comfortably with general anaesthetic.

We understand that our patients want financial options to help them fit their necessary care into their budgets, so we provide many options, including SuperCare.
SuperCare helps you access early release of your super for necessary medical and dental treatments.
This option could be ideal in specific circumstances:
- You do not have relevant or enough private health fund insurance.
- You do not have sufficient personal resources.
- You have at least one family member with superannuation funds.
We can provide paperwork for you to access your superannuation, and a SuperCare representative can guide you through the process.
If you do not qualify for early super access, we offer a number of alternatives to help you fit your dentistry into your budget.
