A sterile set-up
Sterilised instruments are opened for your procedure only, the surgical field is draped, and the surgical team wears sterile gowns and gloves. This matters most for implants and bone grafts, where bone is exposed.

Quick answer
What are the dental surgery operating rooms at Creative Arts?
Creative Arts in Dubai has operating rooms (surgical suites) equipped for dental and oral surgery, with every level of anaesthesia and patient comfort: local anaesthesia, conscious sedation with laughing gas, a tablet or IV sedation, and general anaesthesia. The option is chosen for you and the procedure after a medical-history review, and is given and monitored by an appropriately qualified, licensed clinician; general anaesthesia by an anaesthesiologist.

Inside the suite
What makes an operating room different from a dental treatment room?
Fillings and check-ups happen in a treatment room. Surgery that opens the gum or exposes bone, or that needs sedation, is planned for an operating room.
Monitoring throughout
Under sedation or general anaesthesia, your pulse, oxygen level and blood pressure are recorded before you start and watched during and after the procedure by the clinician responsible for your anaesthesia.
Time for longer surgery
Several implants with grafting, or more than one wisdom tooth, can often be done in one session under one sedation instead of over several appointments.
A recovery area
After sedation or general anaesthesia you rest under observation until you can stand, walk and talk normally, and only then leave with your escort.

Anaesthesia levels
Which level of anaesthesia, and what it means for your day
Local anaesthesia numbs the area in every case. Sedation and general anaesthesia change how aware you are, and with that the preparation and the trip home.
| Option | How you feel | Often used for | Fasting and escort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local anaesthesia | Awake; pressure but no sharp pain at the site | Most extractions, single implants, small grafts | Eat normally beforehand unless told otherwise; you can usually go home alone |
| Laughing gas | Calmer, light-headed; wears off within minutes | Mild anxiety, shorter procedures | A light meal is usually fine; follow your instructions |
| Tablet sedation | Drowsy and relaxed; the effect varies between people | Moderate anxiety, moderate-length procedures | Written instructions; an adult escort home |
| IV sedation | Deeply relaxed, still responsive; often little memory afterwards | Wisdom teeth, several implants, grafting | Fasting or light-meal instructions; an adult escort home |
| General anaesthesia | Unconscious, with breathing supported by the anaesthesiologist | Selected extensive surgery, severe phobia, special needs | Strict fasting; an adult escort and someone with you for 24 hours |
General patterns. Your own written instructions take priority, and the option is decided with you after a medical-history review.
On the day
What happens on the day of surgery in the operating room?
The sequence is the same whether your procedure takes thirty minutes or several hours.
Arrival and checks
Your identity, medical history, medicines and fasting are confirmed, consent is signed, and baseline observations are recorded.
On arrivalPreparation
If you are having IV sedation or general anaesthesia, a fine cannula is placed in the hand or arm and monitoring is attached.
Before surgeryAnaesthesia

AfterwardsHome and review

Preparation
How to prepare for surgery in our operating rooms
Your written instructions are specific to your procedure and anaesthesia. These are the points patients most often ask about.
| What to do | |
|---|---|
| Medical information | Tell us about every condition, medicine, supplement and allergy, and any past problem with anaesthesia, yours or a close relative's |
| Food and drink | Follow the fasting or light-meal times exactly; if you have eaten when you should not have, say so on arrival |
| Medicines | Keep taking regular medicines unless told otherwise; blood thinners and diabetes medicines are planned individually |
| Escort | After tablet sedation, IV sedation or general anaesthesia, a responsible adult takes you home by car or taxi |
| Clothing | Loose sleeves, no make-up, and no nail varnish on at least one finger for the oxygen clip |
| If you feel unwell | A cold, fever or chest infection in the days before can mean rescheduling; call the clinic |
Aftercare for the days that follow: care after oral surgery and swelling after oral surgery.
Clinic or hospital
Which procedures take place in our operating rooms, and which in a hospital?
Most oral surgery is carried out in our operating rooms. Some operations are planned here and performed in a hospital.
Usually carried out in our operating rooms
- Dental implants, from a single tooth to a full arch, including implants under sedation
- Bone grafts, socket preservation, ridge augmentation and sinus lift
- Surgical extractions and wisdom tooth removal
- Impacted canine exposure and many jaw cysts
- Selected cases under general anaesthesia, after a pre-assessment
Planned here, performed in a hospital
- Corrective (orthognathic) jaw surgery, under general anaesthesia
- Cases where the pre-assessment shows a health condition that makes a hospital setting safer
- Facial injuries and fractures are not treated here: go to a hospital emergency department
How anaesthesia is kept safe in our operating rooms
The anaesthesia option is chosen for you and the procedure after a medical-history review. Sedation and anaesthesia are given and monitored by an appropriately qualified, licensed clinician, and general anaesthesia by an anaesthesiologist. Fasting rules and an adult escort apply where relevant. If fear rather than surgery is your main concern, start with our page for nervous patients.
Who treats you
Who operates in our surgical suite

Patient questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the Creative Arts operating room part of a hospital?
No. Creative Arts is a dental centre with operating rooms equipped for dental and oral surgery, at 614 Jumeira St, Jumeirah 3. Most oral surgery, and selected cases under general anaesthesia, are carried out there. Major operations such as corrective jaw surgery take place in a hospital.
What anaesthesia options are available in the dental operating rooms?
Local anaesthesia; conscious sedation with laughing gas (nitrous oxide), an oral sedative tablet or IV sedation; and general anaesthesia. The option is chosen for you and the procedure after a medical-history review, not offered as a menu, and local anaesthetic is used in every case.
Who monitors me during sedation in the dental operating room?
An appropriately qualified, licensed clinician gives the sedation and monitors your breathing, oxygen level and pulse until you are ready to leave. General anaesthesia is given and monitored by an anaesthesiologist. The surgeon concentrates on the surgery while someone else is responsible for your anaesthesia.
Do I need to fast before surgery in the operating room?
It depends on the anaesthesia. Under local anaesthesia alone you can usually eat normally. Sedation comes with fasting or light-meal instructions, and general anaesthesia with strict fasting times. You receive them in writing; follow those rather than general advice online.
How long will I stay in the recovery area after dental surgery?
Under local anaesthesia, usually only a short rest. After IV sedation or general anaesthesia you stay under observation until you can stand, walk and talk normally and the clinician is satisfied, which varies from person to person. Plan for your escort to be available.
Can I drive home after surgery in the dental operating room?
After local anaesthesia alone, usually yes. After laughing gas, follow the clinician's advice once you have recovered. After tablet sedation, IV sedation or general anaesthesia, no: an adult must take you home, and you should not drive, use machinery or sign important documents until the next day.
Can several surgical procedures be done in one visit to the operating room?
Often, yes. Removing several wisdom teeth, or placing implants with a bone graft or sinus lift, can usually be combined into one session under one sedation. Dr. Firas Osman weighs the length of surgery, your health and recovery before suggesting it.
