Oral Sedation
Dental Anesthesia Chapel Hill, NC
Imagine being anxiety-free when you are going to the dentist. Being able to accomplish all your dental care in as little as one appointment. This is what Sedation Dentistry can do for you.
This type of dentistry allows you to comfortably undergo everything from a simple cleaning to extensive procedures, pain-free. One of the additional benefits is that the medicine has an amnesia quality, which for most patients, tends to prevent almost any memory of the visit. The Sedation also allows for most treatments to be provided in a shorter time which often results in minimal necessary visits. The medicine itself enhances the effectiveness of the anesthetic, decreases gagging and eases joint and muscle soreness so that you are as comfortable as possible.
Oral Sedation Dentistry protocols have been used safely for over 30 years with millions of dental procedures. Before starting any treatments, your doctor will review your medical history and explain how Sedation Dentistry can work for you. During treatment, we constantly monitor each patient with a computerized pulse oximeter, which measures heart rate, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. We also have a reversal agent on hand that reverses the effect of the medicine in less than 30 seconds. There are many good candidates for the procedure but we like to limit its use to adults.
If you experience any of the following and are an otherwise healthy adult, you are likely a great candidate for Sedation Dentistry:
- Fear of visiting the dentist
- Experienced past traumatic dental work
- Difficulty getting numb
- A sensitive gag reflex
- Very sensitive teeth
- Limited time to complete your dental care
- Complex dental problems
- Have a fear of needles
- Have a fear of sights and sounds associated with dental care
- Are afraid and embarrassed by your teeth/smile
There are many reasons you might be tense about going to the dentist, there should not be any hindrances to achieve the smile that you deserve. Whether you are uncomfortable with the noises, sights and sounds associated with dentistry or have a sensitive gag reflex, sedation dentistry can help you become more relaxed during routine cleanings or more complex procedures. Sedation dentistry utilizes a medication that has an amnesic effect so that you are at ease, you will not likely remember your procedure. Best of all, it allows us to work quickly and more efficiently, decreasing your time at the dentist and also decreasing any muscle or joint soreness that can occur with dental visits.
We want you to be able to chew your food without pain and smile with confidence. If you’ve been putting off getting dental work done, contact us to learn how sedation dentistry can change your life.

Patient Review by Eric H
I can't say enough good things about Studio G. I was hopeful that I would feel comfortable with the practice as I had put off dentistry for quite a while. I have to admit that I have a certain amount of "dental anxiety" so finding someone that I'm comfortable with is not always easy. My new dentist, Dr. Dakermanji, is superlative as is the Studio G team. Well, I can honestly say that Studio G has really taken good care of my teeth and done a great job whether it was my regular cleanings or my crowns. My cleanings leave my teeth nice and clean, without much discomfort or stress. Holly, my dental hygienist, constantly asks how I'm doing when she cleans my teeth. They never make me feel like I'm just a mouth full of teeth! As for my crowns, well, let's just say that Dr. Dakermanji and Studio G have done a great job not just fitting me in the schedule as soon as possible, but making me crowns that blend right in with the rest of my teeth and with a perfect bite. Mellisa, Sasha, Yassi and the office staff are compassionate, organized and knowledgeable. They take great pains to get you in wether it's an emergency or regular office visit The environment is very soothing. Photos show the calming atmosphere, replete with aquariums, televisions and jazz music. The place is spotless and every measure is taken to ensure patient safety. What a practice! Studio G has been heroic in doing all they can do to help me. They’ll do everything they can to keep your teeth in good shape. They understand good dental care, and good patient care! They are caring, funny, and will remember you and make every effort to make you feel comfortable. I can't recommend Studio G highly enough. So if you are looking for a new dentist, go strait to Studio G.

Patient Review by Nancy D
I have had crowns and other dental work done over the years by other dentists, but have never had such a pain-free experience as this! Dr. G. and her staff go above and beyond to make patients comfortable. Also, for the first time ever, the "bite" was perfect the very first time. This team is amazing!!

Patient Review by Duffy A
This is the, above and beyond, the best dental care I have experienced. Dr. G is a first-rate professional and educator. The staff is knowledgeable, and efficient. I have actually changed some of my dental habits as a result of their combined efforts to ensure general good health. I remain grateful for their expertise and caring.

Patient Review by Bob P
Dr. G is the best dentist I have had (N~8) from age 6-72. The quality of care, precision work, ease of scheduling and friendly office atmosphere make going to the dentist a pleasurable and healthy experience. The hygienists and office staff are skilled and friendly. I only suffer from guilt imposed during my tooth cleaning which is probably deserved.

Patient Review by Clarke G
I specifically scheduled an appointment with Dr. Hart, but he was out of the office that day. I would like to be notified and have my appointment rescheduled should that happen in the future.
- Clarke G
Patient Review by Ginny J
It seems that the schedule is not kept to in as timely a manner as it used to be at Dr. Hart's old practice. I only downgraded the ease of scheduling because of the delays in getting in due to your busy practice, not because it was difficult to manage.
