Air abrasion technology relies on tiny particles to whisk away decay without a drill.
Dentistry Without the Drill
Air abrasion technology, or microabrasion, allows for more conservative dentistry and can be used to treat small cavities. Dr. Sundeep Chohan, General Dentist, uses compressed air to spray a stream of tiny, sand-like particles at the affected area of your tooth.
What does that do? Well, the particles wear away decayed material without the heat, pressure, noise or vibration of the drill. It leaves more of the healthy tooth structure behind and, oftentimes, treatment doesn’t even require an injection of local anesthesia.
Benefits Of
Air Abrasion Technology
Versatile
Air abrasion can be used to remove small areas of decay, prep a tooth surface for certain treatments or even eliminate superficial stains.
Safe
Air abrasion works like a miniature sandblaster for the teeth. It’s safe, effective and removes less healthy tooth structure.
Drill-Free
Unlike a drill, air abrasion technology doesn’t generate heat, pressure or vibrations. This reduces the need for anesthesia.
Great for Patients With Anxiety
Patients with dental anxiety, including young children, can benefit from the drill-free, needle-free treatment.
