We want to ensure our Woodland Hills, CA, patients enjoy a comfortable experience at our office. In order to ensure this, we offer dental anesthesia. In today’s blog, we’re going to look at the unique option we employ, Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA).
Frequently Asked Questions About STA
Question: When do you recommend anesthesia?
Answer: We typically recommend anesthesia as part of a restorative procedure, such as filling or crown placement, root canal procedures, scaling and root planings, or even dental extractions.
Question: How does STA work?
Answer: The STA delivery systems employs advanced computer technology to administer anesthetic. The technology offers direct distribution and prevents discomfort and damage to the gum tissue and surrounding structures. Patients also experience more localized numbness, instead of having a large section of your mouth and lips numb!
Question: What if I have dental anxiety?
Answer: If you have a fear of the dentist, we understand. Often, we work with patients that have avoided treatment due to anxiety or previous negative experiences. With options like STA, we hope to help those with anxiety enjoy a relaxing visit, allowing them to obtain better oral health!
Question: What other benefits does the procedure offer?
Answer: The system allows the dentist to monitor anesthetic throughout the procedure in real time. The dentist can then administer more as needed. The anesthesia itself tends to last longer, so patients often don’t have to receive more than one dose during their sitting. Finally, the procedure helps those with a fear of needles relax and enjoy a more comfortable experience in the chair. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to give us a call. Our team wants to help you enjoy better oral health and a more beautiful smile!
