Air abrasion is a technique we use in our dental office for fillings and removing tooth decay from the teeth. It is a drill-less technique that provides a more comfortable experience for Rancho Cucamonga, CA patients, but is also helpful for our dentist, Dr. Michael Kim, as well.
With air abrasion, there is an instrument that sprays away decay from the teeth by using a stream of particles aimed at the portion of the tooth with decay. With compressed air, it helps to remove these particles quickly and without sounds, heat or pressure.
There are a variety of benefits to air abrasion, including:
- No heat, pressure, vibration or sound.
- Most patients don’t need anesthesia.
- Leaves the working area dry for placing fillings.
- More of the healthy tooth remains.
- Less fracturing and chipping of the tooth.
- The procedure is very quick.
- Our dentist treats multiple sites in one visit with air abrasion.
Patients choose Alta Loma Dental Care in Rancho Cucamonga, CA partly because of the technology we use, including air abrasion. If you have anxiety about visiting the dentist due to the sounds and vibrations, call us at 909-296-7920 to schedule an appointment and request air abrasion.
