Yes, a trained dentist CAN administer general anesthetic, but make sure they are certified. There are some general dentists who have a licensed anesthesiologist come into the office to administer the anesthesia and monitor the patient while the dentist does the work. For filling and a crown, being asleep is overboard. Oral sedation would be a far better choice and way less expensive. Ask about getting a drug such as Halcion. In the US, crowns are either porcelain, porcelain fused to precious metal (so the metal doesn't show), or all gold. Unless it is a child with a primary tooth, stainless steel crowns are not usually done.<br><b>References : </b><br> You don't say if you are in the US or UK, so I'll answer for US.
