Dr. Erhard Mahrhofer available to ensure that your treatment runs smoothly and comfortably.

What is a general anaesthetic and when is it useful?

General anaesthesia means that the patient is put into a deep sleep during the treatment and feels no pain or anxiety. This can be particularly useful when extensive treatment is required or if the patient suffers from dental phobia. We are always happy to help you with a personal consultation or to arrange an appointment. Let us take the first step towards your pain-free dental treatment together.

Advantages of dental treatment under general anaesthetic

Freedom from pain

You will not experience any pain or discomfort throughout the treatment.

Complex treatments in a single appointment

Sometimes treatment requires more than one procedure, which would mean several visits. Under general anaesthesia, all the necessary treatments can be carried out in a single session.

A pain-free experience

During the general anaesthetic, the patient feels no pain whatsoever. They do not wake up until the treatment is completely finished and have no traumatic memories of the dental visit.

Freedom from fear

Ideal for patients who suffer from extreme dental anxiety. These anxious patients can be treated without any problems under general anaesthesia. This makes the dentist’s work easier and ensures the best possible treatment outcomes.

I haven't seen a dentist for years because something always didn't suit me. Then I got really severe toothache and my search began anew. I came across Dr Bobb on Docnet and, because of my pain, managed to get an appointment for the very next day. What can I say? Everything was just right from start to finish. The reception by the ladies at the desk was very friendly and Dr Bobb's calm manner took away a lot of my fear. The procedure itself wasn't entirely straightforward, but everything went extremely well and there were no nasty surprises afterwards either. Definitely an absolute recommendation from me.

Friendly, objective, precise, every movement deliberate and skilful. Seemed very modern in terms of materials and methods too, as far as I can judge. I have rarely experienced such a good dentist. The practice is ultra-modern and well run, billing via the ÖGK works too. Prices are also OK for the quality. Also entirely OK for children.

I wanted to have a CT scan report looked at by a dentist before the weekend, and even though I'm with the ÖGK, Dr Arnold was kind enough to take the time and explained the reports to me in detail so I was able to get a clear picture. Very friendly and competent!

My daughter is an anxious patient through and through. Dr and the entire team were so empathetic that my daughter can hardly wait for her next dental appointment. Every question was answered with care and chosen words, which I thought was particularly great. My daughter was afraid of the X-ray, they took their time and explained every step to her. I was also there for a check-up and I felt in very good hands! Thank you 🫶🏼

We recently switched to the Zahnärzte am Campus because my daughter needed a special treatment.

Right from the first appointment, it was clear to me that we were in the right place.
Dr Salamon specialises in children, and you notice that immediately; she is professional, calm, very empathetic and has a wealth of experience that inspires confidence. She really takes her time and explains precisely what is going on and what the next steps are.
What I particularly liked is the transparency. The costs, especially for private or SVS services, are explained openly and comprehensibly, and no unnecessary additional treatments are suggested, with no hidden surprises.

Compared to our previous experiences, my daughter's treatment here was carefully planned right from the start. The consultation was honest and easy to understand; it was clearly stated what makes sense and is safe at this age, without any detours or expensive extra services. The cooperation with the anaesthesia team was also very pleasant, empathetic, professional and completely straightforward.
The surgery itself is modern, clean and really pleasant. Because of my daughter's good experiences, I eventually stayed for my own check-up and treatment, and the work there was also very thorough and professional.
Additionally, clinic assistant Alina impresses with her extremely friendly manner and professional demeanour. Vivienne was also very accommodating and carried out an excellent dental hygiene treatment.
The location has good transport links; it is best to travel by public transport as there is hardly any parking in the surrounding area, and it is about a five-minute walk from Praterstern.

Recently, my children and I visited the new practice of Zahnärzte am Campus, and we were all impressed. The practice is modern, very well-maintained, and has a play/drawing corner with a bookshelf for children. While my little daughter was busy playing, Dr. Salamon treated my five-year-old daughter's teeth. She was incredibly competent, empathetic, and patient with us. Dr. Salamon and her assistant explained every step to us and worked in such a way that they took away my daughter's fear of dental appointments. The practice team is also very friendly and helpful. Overall, highly recommended!

I went there this lunchtime because a tooth sometimes hurts slightly when chewing. Dr. Bobb was super nice and explained everything to me in detail. Everyone at reception was also very nice and it's a really beautiful practice. Highly recommended!

I was already a patient of Dr Agnes Salamon before she opened her own practice. Today was my first time in her own, new practice. Ground floor access, nice reception area, friendly greeting at reception, comfortable waiting area, modern and technically top-equipped. A piece of my amalgam filling had broken off. Professional amalgam restoration with a rubber dam was performed. Afterwards, a new filling was made. Dr Agnes Salamon has already performed several root canal treatments and fitted 2 crowns on me. I was genuinely scared of root canal treatments. However, she was always very attentive and always worked gently in my mouth. I trust her knowledge and manual skills.
Hello, I was at this dental practice today and had an absolutely fantastic experience! The dentists not only proved their professional competence, but also provided incredibly empathetic and friendly care. They took the time to answer my questions very clearly and explain the treatment in an understandable way. The practice itself looks truly first-class! It is extremely well-maintained and modernly decorated, which creates a very pleasant atmosphere.

I would like to thank the entire practice team from the bottom of my heart once again for the excellent care! I am always happy to visit this surgery! 😊
With lots of love, Elen

Dental treatment for children under general anaesthetic at Zahnärzte am Campus

The Zahnärzte am Campus offer specialised dental treatments for children under general anaesthesia, ideal for young patients with dental anxiety or for extensive dental procedures. With modern anaesthesia technology and an experienced team, we ensure that your child is treated safely, stress-free and pain-free.

Which procedures are carried out under general anaesthetic?

Tooth decay is very common in children and, if left untreated, can lead to pain and further complications. Under general anaesthetic, we remove the affected tissue and fill the tooth with high-quality materials such as tooth-coloured composite or glass ionomer cement, which are not only aesthetically pleasing but also durable.

In some cases, it is necessary to remove a severely damaged or decayed milk tooth to make room for the permanent tooth or to prevent further infection. Extraction under general anaesthesia ensures that your child feels nothing during the procedure and undergoes the treatment without fear.

Children are often involved in accidents that can result in dental injuries. Whether a tooth has been broken, loosened or otherwise damaged, we can carry out the necessary repairs under general anaesthetic to save or reconstruct the tooth.

Sometimes a comprehensive dental restoration is necessary, particularly if several teeth are affected by tooth decay or if extensive corrections are required. Under general anaesthesia, we can carry out all the necessary procedures in a single appointment, which is less stressful for both the child and their parents.

For certain orthodontic procedures, such as the removal of supernumerary teeth or the exposure of unerupted teeth, general anaesthesia may be advisable. This enables precise and stress-free treatment.

The dental treatment procedure under general anaesthesia

1. Consultation

A detailed consultation takes place before the treatment. During this consultation, we will discuss your medical history, any allergies and any specific requirements you may have. This helps us to plan the most suitable form of anaesthesia and the course of treatment for you.

2. Preliminary examination

Our specialist team will prepare you for general anaesthesia. This involves checking your vital signs and inserting an intravenous line through which the anaesthetic will be administered.

3. General anaesthesia

On the day of your treatment, Dr Erhard Mahrhofer, our experienced anaesthetist, will prepare you for general anaesthesia. You will be given an intravenous drip or a medication that will put you to sleep and eliminate any pain you might feel during the treatment.

4. Dental treatment

After the treatment, your child will wake up in a calm and supervised environment. Our team will ensure that your child is comfortable until they are fully awake.

5. Recovery phase

Following the procedure, the anaesthesia is gradually reduced, and you will be monitored in a comfortable recovery room until you are fully awake and feeling stable.

6. Aftercare

During your post-treatment care, we will discuss the next steps, provide you with all the necessary information about your recovery and arrange follow-up appointments, if required.
