Certified Anesthesia Facility

Premier Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

At Premier Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, ensuring patient safety and comfort is our top priority. That’s why we’re proud to operate as a NFPA 99 Certified General Anesthesia Facility, a designation that guarantees the highest safety standards for anesthesia care.

What is General Anesthesia?

General anesthesia involves a state of medically-induced unconsciousness, administered and closely monitored by a trained anesthesia provider. It is often used for procedures where deeper levels of sedation are necessary to ensure patient comfort. While under general anesthesia, patients remain unconscious and receive continuous monitoring and support.

General anesthesia has a long history in dental care and has evolved alongside technology to offer patients a safe and effective option for reducing anxiety and discomfort during their procedures. Whether for routine oral surgeries or more complex maxillofacial treatments, general anesthesia provides a tailored solution for those requiring additional support.

What Does NFPA 99 Certification Mean?

The NFPA 99 Category 1 Certification is an essential safety standard established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). It ensures that all equipment related to general anesthesia meets rigorous standards for reliability and safety.

To receive this certification, facilities like ours must follow strict guidelines, including the use of:

• Equipment installed by certified medical gas professionals (ASSE 6010).
• Verification by a third-party expert to ensure proper installation and performance (ASSE 6030).

These protocols ensure there are no errors in the design, installation, or functionality of the systems used in sedation and anesthesia, providing peace of mind for our patients and staff.

By maintaining NFPA 99 certification, Premier Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery demonstrates its commitment to providing care in a secure and state-of-the-art environment.
