General anaesthesia can make complex dental procedures, like All-Teeth-On-4 implants, a comfortable and stress-free experience. However, it’s natural to wonder about the side effects. Here’s what you can expect when undergoing general anaesthesia at Dentélle by WDC.
What to Expect After General Anaesthesia
The side effects of general anaesthesia are similar to those experienced during hospital procedures. Modern screening methods ensure that patients are healthy and fit for the procedure, significantly minimising risks. That said, the most common side effects include:
- Drowsiness: Feeling groggy or tired after waking up is normal. Most patients spend the rest of the day resting at home.
- Nausea: Some people may feel slightly nauseous as the anaesthetic wears off, but this is usually temporary.
- Headaches: Mild headaches can occur but are typically short-lived and manageable.
How Long Do Side Effects Last?
For most patients, the effects of general anaesthesia wear off within 24 hours, leaving them feeling back to normal by the following day. During this time, it’s important to rest, hydrate, and avoid strenuous activities.
