Treatment under general anesthesia

Medicated sleep, in which the patient is immersed, so that he does not feel pain during the procedures, is called general anesthesia. Dental treatment under general anesthesia (general anesthesia) is painless for patients, thanks to which dentists are able to perform the planned treatment procedures in 1-2 visits. Our UADenta clinic performs dental treatment under general anesthesia at affordable prices.
