We embrace the latest advancements in dental technology, including air abrasion in Alpharetta, Georgia. This modern technique offers a gentle alternative to the traditional dental drill, providing a quieter, more comfortable experience for our patients.
What is Air Abrasion?
Air abrasion is a drill-less technique used to remove tooth decay and prepare teeth for fillings. Using a fine stream of particles, such as aluminum oxide, which are propelled towards the tooth by compressed air, this method can effectively abrade the decayed material without the need for a traditional drill.
Benefits of Air Abrasion
Choosing air abrasion at Windward Dental Care provides several advantages:
- Minimally Invasive: Air abrasion removes less tooth structure than a conventional drill, preserving more of the natural tooth.
- No Vibration or Heat: Unlike traditional drilling, air abrasion generates no heat, sound or vibration, making it more comfortable for patients.
- Reduced Need for Anesthesia: Many patients find that air abrasion is so gentle that they do not require anesthesia, which is particularly beneficial for those who are anxious about needles.
- Quick and Efficient: This technology is ideal for small cavities and allows Dr. Keith E. Kitchens to treat multiple sites in the mouth during a single visit.
