Introducing
... Air
Abrasion We are committed to delivering dental
care to our patients as comfortably and as "pain-free" as possible. That's
why we choose to stay on the cutting edge of dentistry with one of the
newest and innovative procedures known as air abrasion. This technology
takes the emphasis off pain and fear and moves it to conservative,
healthy, esthetic dental care.
What is Air
Abrasion? Air Abrasion is a gentle spray of an
air-and-powder mix that removes tooth decay. Since air abrasion is
achieved by directing a thin stream of abrasive powder at the area of
tooth decay, a minimal section of the tooth is removed - only the decayed
area.
Does Air Abrasion
Hurt? Almost never! Controlling the speed and the
intensity of both the powder and the air, can make the procedure can be
virtually painless.
Can children as well as
adults benefit from air abrasion? Absolutely! Air
abrasion is perfect for children. Most cavities that are detected early
can be treated immediately, without a drill and without a needle. The
tooth is then restored with natural looking materials to strengthen and
protect the remaining tooth structure. Most children are not even aware of
what the dentist is doing.
