Air abrasion is a unique, gentle alternative to the dental drill. In other words, it is a great, new way to treat small cavities. Microabrasive particles, virtually invisible to the naked eye, propelled by a gentle air stream, quickly and gently remove decay. Many types of cavities can be treated with air abrasion. The precision of the Air Abrasion allows us to treat decay at its earliest stage.

Typically, teeth treated with air abrasion are less susceptible to wear and will last longer. One of the main benefits of Air Abrasion is the lack of heat and vibration usually associated with the dental drill. As a result, the majority of patients report no unpleasant sensation and very little discomfort. 95% of the cavities treated with air abrasion can be done without a shot or anesthesia. The procedure is most commonly used on children.
