Drill Free dentistry is a great way to do cosmetic touch-ups without having to numb the teeth. Utilizing air-abrasion technology, drill-free dentistry allow us to work on the enamel of the tooth (or teeth) with little to no discomfort at all.
During the air abrasion, process an instrument works like a mini sandblaster and is used to spray away decay. During air abrasion, a fine stream of particles is aimed at the decayed portion of the tooth. These particles are made of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture and are propelled toward the tooth surface by compressed air or a gas that runs through the dental hand piece. Small particles of decay on the tooth surface are removed as the stream of particles strikes them. The particles of decay are then “suctioned” away.
Once the abrasion is complete, we can replace the material with either tooth-colored or traditional fillings to restore your smile to what it was intended to be. No Pain or Discomfort and the results are amazing!
