Enhance Comfort - Reduce Anxiety
A new, gentle, drill-free procedure is now available in
our practice. It's the PrepStar Air Abrasion System which
will increase your comfort and reduce anxiety during cavity
preparation and other dental procedures. With the PrepStar
Air abrasion system, you'll spend much less time in the
dental chair. Procedures are so gentle -- and anaesthesia
is seldom required -- it's possible to treat several teeth
in one visit rather than having to schedule additional
appointments. Since we're able to treat almost all our
young patients with a new level of comfort without the
need for even a mild anaesthetic injection, childhood anxiety
about trips to the dentist can now be dealt with effectively.
The Wait is Over
The PrepStar Air Abrasion System produces a gentle air
stream of microabrasive particles, delivered through a
small handpiece that quickly and gently smooth away decay.
The handpiece actually never makes direct contact with
the tooth. Not only does the precision of air abrasion
allow more healthy tooth structure to be conserved, it's
now possible to treat decay at its earliest stages before
more serious problems develop. Ideal for both restorative
and cosmetic procedures, PrepStar quickly and comfortably
prepares surfaces for composite resin fillings and is highly
effective for cosmetic procedures such as veneers. It is
also used for the removal of superficial discoloration,
porcelain repair and in the application of preventive sealants
in just seconds.
No Injection – Treatment
time reduced
With the PrepStar Air Abrasion
System, the uncomfortable vibrations, friction and heat
of the dental drill are eliminated. Since there's no
heat or direct contact to jar sensitive nerves, very
seldom is the dreaded ’jab’ necessary
for numbing. And, since anaesthesia is usually not required,
much less time in the dental chair is required. Without
the heat and vibration of the drill, PrepStar air abrasion
eliminates the major discomforts associated with cavity
preparation. Because air abrasion is so gentle on tooth
enamel, the possibility of micro -fracturing or chipping
is also eliminated. The microscopic size particles used
in the PrepStar Air Abrasion System have long been used
in medicine and food. Completely safe, the pure alumina
oxide particles are biocompatible and similar to those
found in toothpaste whiteners.
