What is the best choise of anesthesia for a dental implant procedure?

For a healthy adult? My friend is at loss, his dentist told him he can either go for local or general anesthesia, it makes no difference to her, people do either way. My friend is asking me as if I know, but I have no personal experience beyond fillings. Money is apparently not an issue.

What is the best choise of anesthesia for a dental implant procedure?
Inserting an implant is actually a very simple procedure - less traumatic than having a tooth extracted. Local anaesthetic is probably the better option. Unless he is a very nervous patient - then go for general.
Reply:Local anesthesia is easier for the dentist since he can ask the patient to position themselves. GA only if very nervous.
Reply:Implants are what I do at work...I agree with both above answers. A local is fine.
