What is Air Abrasion?

Air abrasion is a modern dental technique used to remove cavities without a traditional drill. It uses a tiny sandblasting tool to gently clean the decayed part of a tooth. This method is less noisy, less uncomfortable, and can make your dental visit more pleasant. Learn about air abrasion at Dentistry @ Prescott in Prescott.

How Air Abrasion Works

The dentist uses a small instrument that sprays fine particles, usually silica, aluminum oxide, or baking soda, onto the decayed area. The particles gently remove decay while leaving healthy tooth structure intact. Suction removes the debris, making the process clean, precise, and virtually painless.

Safety During Treatment

Your safety is our priority. Protective eyewear is worn to shield your eyes from stray particles. Sometimes a rubber dam is used to protect gums and nearby teeth. These measures ensure your comfort and safety during the procedure.

Benefits of Air Abrasion

  • No heat, noise, vibration, or pressure during treatment.
  • Often no need for anesthesia, especially for small cavities.
  • Preserves more healthy tooth structure compared to traditional drilling.
  • Reduces the risk of chipping or fracturing teeth.
  • Fast and efficient, shortening your time in the dental chair.
