Air Abrasion
Until recently, using the traditional dental handpiece was the only way we had to remove decay from your teeth. But now, we have a new option called air abrasion that allows us to remove decay on teeth without even touching them.
Air abrasion has several advantages over traditional techniques:
- There is no vibration.
- Little or no heat is generated.
- There's usually no need for anesthetic, so that uncomfortable numb feeling is avoided.
- We can precisely remove a minimal amount of tooth structure, preserving more of your natural tooth.
