Air Abrasion
Dentistry Without a Drill!
Drill-less dentistry? Believe it. Air abrasion is the newest method of removing tooth decay. Air abrasion works like a tiny sandblaster. Compressed air and an abrasive powder wear decay off your tooth. The procedure is simple and quick. Often, if a small cavity is found during a checkup, we can fill it the same day using air abrasion. Our patients find this method advantageous because they don't have the "drilling noise" or feel any vibration.
The procedure works for many types of decay. But it can't be used for everything.
