Experience Painless Dentistry with Single Tooth Anesthesia: The Wand

A dental consultation is always followed by a very common question, ‘Is there going to be a need for local Anesthesia?’. Fear related to dental anesthesia is quite evident among patients. A very precise technology called Single tooth Anesthesia (STA) has been introduced which is helpful in take away your phobia of large needles, painful anesthesia and after effects of conventional anesthesia systems.

To briefly introduce the STA system, it is a painless anesthesia system, very accurate, numbs only the tooth to be treated, less discomfort and has zero effects after the treatment, making your dental appointment stress-free and relaxed.

The smile experts at Royal East Dental – Dundas have very well adapted STA as a part of their daily practice, providing pain free, healthy and attractive smiles to all their patients. Let’s dive deep into this magical system along with these experts.

Key Benefits

• Painless injections: A key to getting rid of dental phobia is providing pain-free injections to the patients. Multiple studies have compared the wand injection system to traditional anesthesia injections for anxiety levels, pain intensities and comfort. The wand has clearly shown less pain, more comfort and physiological parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure well within the limits compared to during the use of traditional methods. This drastically increases patient’s acceptance of dental treatments, experiencing happy and easy dental appointments.
• Precise and targeted anesthesia: Another benefit is no collateral numbness. The STA system only delivers local anesthetic agents to interested teeth and nearby gums. This takes away the side effects such as trismus, drooling, and accidental tongue or cheek biting which can be seen with traditional methods.
• Reduced anxiety and discomfort: The wand injection is well controlled by the computer, resulting in guaranteed effective numbness without any pain during the procedure. So no more wasting time in block injections or any repetitive injections. Isn’t it more comfortable? Truly a magic wand it is, not only for patients but also for Doctors. Ergonomic, computer-assisted and easy to use.
• Faster Recovery time: The STA is an efficient tool in providing near to zero discomfort during the procedure and post the dental visit. It is faster acting hence shorter the procedure time; giving satisfactory and completely pain free treatment to the patients.

How STA Works

Single tooth Anesthesia system works on a simple principle. It delivers the anesthetic solution at a steady and slow rate just below the pain tolerance compared to traditional methods where a long and thick bore needle is used for injecting anesthesia.

The STA is far more simple. It consists of three parts: a computer control unit, the handpiece and a foot pedal. The anesthesia cartridge is attached to the system and a slow steady flow of anesthesia is controlled via the computer. The computer unit guides the dental professional in controlling the pressure, flow, and time of the solution depending upon the area to be anesthetized. Thus, making it user-friendly.
