Office-Based Anesthesia

A Better, Safer Way to Experience Oral Surgery with Dr. Grant McGann

For many patients, the fear of pain, needles, or being “awake” during a procedure is a major source of anxiety. At McGann Oral Surgery we understand this deeply, and that’s why we’ve built an approach to anesthesia that’s focused entirely on your comfort and peace of mind.

Dr. Grant McGann has spent years refining his anesthesia methods to create an experience that is:

Oral Surgery Without Fear

We offer a combination of oral anxiety-reducing medication and IV sedation, tailored to your specific needs. These advanced methods help even the most nervous patients feel calm, safe, and deeply relaxed—often to the point that they wake up wondering if the surgery has even started.

“Most of our patients tell us they feel like they just had a restful nap, and they’re relieved to find out their procedure is already done.”
— Dr. Grant McGann

What Makes Our Anesthesia Different?

No General Anesthesia Gas
Unlike hospital-based general anesthesia, which can leave patients groggy and nauseated, our sedation techniques use modern IV medications that are gentler on your body. You’ll wake up faster, feel clearer, and avoid the dreaded “hangover” effect.

Advanced Medications = Faster Recovery
We use highly refined, safe medications that have been carefully selected to minimize side effects. Nausea, once common with anesthesia, is now extremely rare thanks to Dr. McGann’s personalized approach.

Certified Anesthesia Monitoring
During your procedure, you’ll be continuously monitored by experienced anesthesia assistants, giving you another layer of safety and care.

Needle Phobia? We Get It

Fear of needles is incredibly common—and we have gentle solutions for that, too. Dr. McGann can prescribe pre-op oral medication to help you feel relaxed before you even walk into the procedure room. We can also use topical numbing agents on the skin to make the IV placement nearly painless.

Dr. McGann is highly skilled at starting IVs quickly and comfortably, often without patients even noticing.

Comfort You Can Count On

  • No awareness of the surgery while it’s happening
  • No painful memories
  • No overwhelming anxiety
  • Just a feeling of calm, and waking up with the procedure already behind you

Whether you’ve had a previous bad experience or you’re simply nervous about the unknown, Dr. McGann’s anesthesia methods provide the ultimate level of comfort and care—so you can relax, heal, and move forward with confidence.

You’re In Safe Hands

Dr. McGann has performed thousands of oral surgery procedures under IV sedation, and his patients routinely say how grateful they are for how smooth and surprisingly easy their experience was. If you’re feeling anxious, you’re not alone—and we’re here to help you through it safely and gently.
