Sort of: I would say what you described is not the best way to do it. As a patient, whether it is dentistry or any other medical procedure, never let anyone start the treatment until you understand what is going to happen and also the possible complications. In most procedures the complications are very low, but in some situations they may be unavoidable and you need to be prepared.
