Cavity Preparation?
You have to be kidding? But we're not! Air Abrasion
is an incredible new technique to treat beginning to moderate
decay. Impossible you say?? Nope......it's real and it works!
Air Abrasion is simply applying the principal
of sand blasting to teeth.....but on a miniature level.

We use a tiny sand blasting unit, aim it at the decay, and within
seconds, the soft part of the tooth is blown away......removed
by a stream of abrasive sand you can't hear or feel. It's truly
amazing.
We place a protective rubber dam over the tooth so all of the
sand is trapped in a vacuum rather than inhaled.

After the soft part has been removed, an epoxy-composite resin
restoration is bonded into place and the procedure is
complete. This is permanent dentistry that used to require anesthesia
and separate appointments.

Gone are the days that require EVERY appointment to be difficult.
With the advent of air abrasion, we can treat teeth simultaneously,
throughout the mouth, without anesthesia, and seal them before
they get to be a problem.
This is just one of many ways technology
is making it easier for patients to enjoy going to the dentist.
Did we say enjoy?...... :)
