It depends on the patient and the procedure. Ask the surgeon.
For instance, if the surgery were to be performed on a very small child who could not be expected to cooperate and hold still during the procedure, general anesthesia might be required.
If the patient was having a simple soft tissue surgery, such as a frenectomy, general anesthesia would not be appropriate. On the other hand, if the procedure involved removing a large bony cyst or tumor, general anesthesia would likely be necessary.
