Oral surgeries are not all created equally. The same can be said for the levels of dental anxiety in patients, which is why there are different levels of sedation techniques available for patients based on their needs.  Boerne Dental Center performs 80-90% of surgeries needed for our patients in the comfort of your familiar dental office setting. Frequently, this is done with only local anesthetic for routine extractions and implant placements. Most patients are very pleasantly surprised how quick and painless the experience is.
