Air Abrasion

Similar to a tiny sand-blaster, this instrument can replace the drill, giving patients less discomfort. It is a great option for pediatric cases, where a filling can be completed in less than two minutes! When appropriate, this latest technology makes your dental visit very comfortable—no drilling, no water build-up, and no need for injections.

Why we believe air abrasion has revolutionized dentistry;

• Atraumatic: Air abrasion is capable of painless and atraumatic care.
• No anesthesia = no injection = no "fat lip" after the appointment.
• No vibration, no hideous sound, no smell, no water spray
• Conservative: Very small preparations which;
• Conserve tooth structure
• Cavity profiles are structurally more sound than with a traditional drill.
• No microfracturing of the enamel surface due to the conventional vibration associated with the traditional drill
• Early diagnosed decay can be treated with air abrasion so that;
• Size of the preparation is very small - conserves tooth structure
• Small size means less likelihood of cusp fracture and subsequent endodontic (root canal) treatment plus fixed prosthetics (crowns/bridges).
• Restored with bonded composites that enhance the structural integrity of the tooth.
