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.
