Experience a revolutionary approach to dental care with air abrasion—a technique that replaces traditional drilling for cavity removal. This advanced method employs a miniature sandblasting tool, eliminating the need for a conventional dental drill. Discover how air abrasion redefines your dental experience at Bonavista Dental Centre in Ottawa.
Air abrasion utilizes a specialized instrument that delivers a precise stream of particles—typically composed of silica, aluminum oxide, or a baking soda mixture—onto the affected area. These particles, propelled by compressed gas, gently eradicate decayed matter from the tooth's surface. The dislodged particles are efficiently suctioned away, resulting in a virtually painless and minimally invasive procedure.
Your well-being is paramount to us. When undergoing air abrasion treatment, protective eyewear is mandatory to shield against stray particles. Additionally, a protective rubber dam may be employed to safeguard your gums and neighboring teeth from the particle stream, ensuring your utmost comfort and safety.
Air abrasion boasts numerous advantages over traditional drilling methods for treating cavities:
