Air Abrasion

With Air Abrasion, a fine pressurized stream of microscopic abrasive powder is propelled at your tooth. The system can be compared to a miniature sand blaster removing small worn fillings, discolorations, stains and small amounts of decay as the powder strikes your tooth.

The advantages of Air Abrasion:

No vibration and little or no heat generation

Precise removal of the minimum amount of tooth structure

Often no need for anesthetic, so there is no numbness

A great option for restoring a child's tooth.

Some limitations:

We cannot use Air Abrasion to remove decay between teeth or to prepare a tooth for a large filling, a crown, or silver amalgam fillings. However, air abrasion is a great option when the decay is shallow or small, and it often allows us to avoid anesthetic or the drill.
