Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA)
Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) System
In our dedication to provide contemporary, comfortable care to all of our patients, Doctors Naminik, Hirsch, and Koshki offer the advanced Single Tooth Anesthesia (STA) delivery system. STA is a computerized anesthetic delivery system that gives our experts precise control when administering local anesthesia. The computer-regulated injection equipment utilizes pressure force feedback technology to measure the anesthesia’s delivery during your procedure. It also allows for more direct distribution of medicine to a single tooth underneath the periodontal tissues, avoiding collateral tissue damage that may occur with needle-based administration.
The Benefits of Computerized Anesthesia Delivery
- Needle-administered anesthesia offers limited visibility and control, and therefore can often cause collateral numbness in tissues near the injection site. By contrast, computerized administration delivers the medicine directly to the tooth to help eliminate the risks of collateral numbness.
- STA’s system provides visual and audible feedback in real time, allowing your doctor to adjust the level of anesthesia as needed throughout your treatment.
- The ability to deliver anesthesia in a more predictable manner translates into more effective and longer-lasting results, which reduces the amount of medicine needed while you are in the chair.
- Because of significantly increased comfort, STA’s system can help patients overcome their apprehension of needles so they can receive the dental treatment they need.
