- Minimally Invasive: Air abrasion is a conservative dental technique that requires minimal removal of healthy tooth structure compared to traditional drilling, preserving more of your natural tooth enamel and reducing the risk of sensitivity or damage to the tooth.
- Pain-Free: Air abrasion is virtually painless and does not require the use of anesthesia in most cases, making it an ideal option for patients who experience dental anxiety or fear of needles.
- Precision: Air abrasion allows for precise and controlled removal of decayed tooth structure, enabling our dentists to target specific areas of decay while minimizing disruption to surrounding healthy tooth tissue.
- Reduced Noise and Vibration: Unlike traditional dental drills, air abrasion produces minimal noise and vibration during treatment, creating a more comfortable and relaxing experience for patients.
- Versatility: Air abrasion can be used for various dental procedures, including removing decay, preparing teeth for fillings, removing old dental restorations, and treating surface stains or discoloration.
The Air Abrasion Process:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced dentists will evaluate your oral health and discuss your treatment options. If air abrasion is deemed suitable for your needs, we will explain the procedure in detail and address any questions or concerns you may have.
- Preparation: Before beginning the air abrasion procedure, our dental team will place a protective barrier over your lips, gums, and nearby teeth to shield them from the abrasive particles.
- Abrasion: A fine stream of abrasive particles, such as aluminum oxide or baking soda, is directed onto the decayed or damaged tooth surface using a handheld device. The particles gently remove the decayed tooth structure, leaving behind healthy tooth enamel.
- Cleaning and Evaluation: After the decay has been removed, the tooth surface will be thoroughly cleaned and dried. Our dentists will assess the tooth to ensure that all decay has been successfully removed and that the tooth is ready for restoration.
- Restoration: Depending on the extent of the decay or damage, our dentists may recommend placing a dental filling, crown, or other restorative material to repair and strengthen the tooth.
