No needle, no drill, no fear. The air abrasion device uses an advanced particle beam and eliminates the pain associated with the traditional drill. No Novocain is needed in most cases. Added advantages are the elimination of odors, noise, and vibration. Although the device isn’t applicable for every procedure, it may be used for the initial preparation of a tooth before placing a restorative material in the following situations:

• Chipped teeth
• Fractured teeth
• Worn teeth
• Stained teeth
• Spotted teeth
• Abraded teeth
• Chipped fillings
• Fractured crowns and bridges
• Removing shallow surface decay
• Placing new sealants
