Air Abrasion- Also called Micro abrasion and kinetic prepartation, is method of tooth structure removal considered to be an effective alternative to the standard dental drill. It functions much like the sandblasting technique used to clear graffiti from wall. An Air Abrasion hand piece blows a powerful air stream of tiny, fine aluminum oxide particles out of its tips onto tooth structure. This procedure is virtually painless, which, in most cases, eliminates the need for an anesthetic injection. The advantages are more of your tooth is preserved, there is little or no discomfort, no anesthetic numbness is needed and treatment time is usually shorter.
The Wand (Pain-Free Anesthetic Delivery)- It is true about 50% of patients are fearful of anesthetic syringes and get nervous at the mere sight of needle.

And that it is why our office performs anesthetic injections with a revolutionary system called The Wand. The wand is an excellent example for our efforts to bring you the latest dental technology, and help all of our patients to have a pleasant, positive visit to our office. The Wand is a computer controlled “Novocain” delivery system that conquers fear of pain and anxiety.
