Air Abrasion with the Smart Prep














Air Abrasion technology allows us to remove decay from shallow, early cavities, without the need for anesthesia, all while removing the minimal amount of tooth structure necessary to fix the tooth.  Rather than waiting until decay takes over the tooth, which requires much more tooth structure to be removed, we practice minimally invasive dentistry.  This means that cavities are caught in their early stages, rather than watching and waiting for it to get worse.  The more tooth structure that remains the better, and the healthier your mouth will be.  Air abrasion is a finely powdered pressure washing of the decay, that leaves the tooth clean and free from decay. The  tooth is filled with a tooth colored filling and bonded into place, keeping the anatomy natural.
