“Can I get implants under general anesthesia?”

Every surgeon has their preferred method of operation.  Most surgeons prefer general sedation during implant placement procedures.  There are some medical conditions that increase the risk of complications so be very honest with your surgeon about your medical history.  Hope this helps.  

Implants are best placed by periodontists or oral surgeons,  and if a patient requests general anesthesia these offices are well equipped to accommodate these patients in a safe manner.

yes

It is often done with I've sedation. Toy would not be awake

There are oral surgeons who can help you with this approach. You will need to do some research to find one.

Implants can be placed under all types of anesthesia. The general rule is the more interventions to achieve the level of comfort you are looking for, the more risks are introduced. The anesthesia with the lowest risk is local anesthesia (numbing shots). from there, a mild sedative such as Ativan or valium is added to reduce anxiety if needed. The next level is conscious sedation (either via i.v. or pill form) which still keeps you awake enough to breathe on your own and respond to verbal commands such as open your mouth, turn your head, etc. However, the types of medications used for conscious sedation also cause you to not have a good memory of your visit (retrograde amnesia) so your anxiety is much lower when you fully wake up. Finally, general anesthesia, where a machine assists with your breathing and you are completely asleep, is the type of anesthesia with the most inter-operative risks. Implants can be placed under any of these types of anesthesia so it is important for you to understand the risks of each approach but you can be confident that whichever route of anesthesia you choose, the surgery can be completed well.
