Anesthetics

So you need a “shot”. Congratulations. What? You’re not sure you should be congratulated?

Well, nobody really likes injections. But we do everything we can to make getting numb easier and more comfortable for you so your dentistry can be painless.

Of course, there is the time-honored and very effective method of injecting local anesthetics into your gum tissues using a dental syringe. The needles used are incredibly sharp and thin and are even coated to make them glide effortlessly into the tissue. We can really do this pretty comfortably.

But in many situations we use the newest high tech way of doing this. Here’s the story about (Ta-Ta)…

Computer Controlled Anesthetic Injections - Another High Tech Dental Miracle

Computer controlled anesthetic injections are another state-of- the-art way for us to make your time in the chair more pleasant. It’s one of the latest in the astonishing growth of the technology of dentistry as we head deeper into the 21st century.

With computer controlled anesthetic injections the injection of anesthetic fluid into your tissues is controlled by a computerized drive unit which reacts to the resistance of your tissues and adjusts the flow to maximize your comfort.

We still have to know exactly where to place the injection and exactly how to make it go where it belongs, but we don’t have to push a plunger anymore. The computerized drive unit does that for us. Gone is that big, ugly, bulky metal syringe. It’s replaced by a light-weight, pencil-shaped handpiece we hold like a pen. It’s much easer to control and handle.

The actual device is called The Wand™. With The Wand, anesthetic injections are much more comfortable than ever before.

And here’s an extra bonus: new injection sites are made possible by The Wand’s controlled flow and pressure. We will often be able to numb your teeth without creating the dead lips and tongue you dislike so much. You will be able talk, eat and speak just as if you did not have any anesthetic. WOW!

When you hear The Wand beeping as we inject, you will know that you are on the receiving end of the best in dental care.
