Ensuring Comfort With STA

When one of our patients is about to undergo a procedure like a root canal, filling, or crown placement, or even more substantial care, then anesthesia is issued to ease discomfort. However, many people often feel nervous about his aspect too! To help limit the discomfort of treatment, and of the administration of a numbing agent, we offer a unique computerized option for our Woodland Hills, CA, patients. In today’s blog, we’re talking about Single Tooth Anesthesia!

What is Single Tooth Anesthesia?

With this option, we use computer technology to guide and administer the medication. The process allows our team greater control when administering anesthetic, ensuring our patients remain comfortable through the treatment process. The process also limits the chances of collateral damage to the gum tissues and oral structure. With advanced technology, we offer a more enjoyable visit for patients, whether they’re undergoing minor or more extensive treatments.

Benefits

Using a computer system to deliver the anesthesia reduces the risk of damage to your gum tissues, and provides visual and durable feedback, so we can monitor and adjust levels during the process. The calming agent is more effective than others, and the effects can actually last longer. Since the process also reduces the discomfort of administering a numbing agent, this helps people with anxiety regarding needles. Often the issue for people with dental anxiety is less about the treatments, and more about the calming agent itself!

What About Dental Sedation?

For people undergoing dental extraction and other oral surgical procedures, more than anesthesia may be needed. We can also provide sedation dentistry for our patients, which helps them enter a calm and relaxed state with little or no memory of the procedure. You don’t experience discomfort, and the effects wear off a few hours following treatment. If you have any questions about either the STA system or dental sedation, the please contact our team today. We understand how severe dental anxiety can be, and we can talk to you about your options, and also address any questions or concerns as well. Don’t let your fears about visiting the dentist stand between you and the smile of your dreams, please contact our team today to learn more about the steps we take to ensure your comfort!
